Christmas starts here!

At school, rehearsals for the Christmas carol concert started in September. This used to make me very happy. 

I recently bought the Mollie Makes Christmas book which is quite new out. This book contains all the best things about Mollie Makes - I think the reason I love it is because its FULL of projects (as you would expect). It inspired me to have a totally hand made Christmas as far as decorations go! It is very exciting... 

So I was even happier when I realised my list of things to make was as long as a chocolate bar! Because this meant I could start now! (A chocolate bar doesn't seem long but these things take time! A lot more time than the chocolate would last anyway...)

But never fear! I have started, and not without some weird looks from onlookers when they realised that that was red AND green I was working with... And only red and green. That can only mean one thing!



 



So this was very VERY easy to make... All it is a normal granny square. You can find patterns for these all over the Internet... And then I did a round of double crochet at the end! The chain it's on is also very simple - I just 30 chain stitches, then from those chains double crocheted along the top of a square. The gaps in between the squares was 10 chain, 30 at the other end and then I went back along in dc. Simple!

Bring on the Christmas music!

P.S. I'm not that crazy. I'm going to wait until 1st December to put on the Christmas music!
