Operation Homemade Christmas!

So I made it a point to make a LOT of homemade ornaments and decorations for Christmas... well at least that's my plan anyways. My boyfriend and I will be celebrateing our first christmas while living together. & we quickly realized we have nothing to decorate with. All we have is a massive fake tree, with nothing to go on it or nothing to put around the house. So I decided to make a bunch of stuff & Frosty the crocheted snowman was born! He's my first attempt at an ami without a pattern. I'm pleased with him and just wanted to share! I'll be posting my operation homemade Christmas progress on my blog. I got lots of ideas I can't wait to get more things made and share!

Eye Candy Scarf

My 6 year old daughter likes the fact that her Mummy can make things! She really likes it when she can come up with an idea and then asks Mummy (very nicely and politely)
if she could make it for her.

Sophie's idea, colour scheme and design, me? well I just went along for the ride.

Really enjoyed making something really girlie for my little girlie. She is sat watching a Disney DVD wearing this scarf. More info here.

Spiderman Afghan

I just finished this Spiderman Round Ripple, it is a Christmas gift. I am so glad to be through with it, not because it is hard but because I am so tired of blue and red!! It really is a very easy ripple to make and I have made 2 others but not this same color. I have more to do for Christmas gifts so I will start on them tomorrow.

Ball Winders?

Hello all you Yarnies out there, Please help me out if you can...I was thinkin' I'd like to get a yarn ball winder.  I've only been browsing on the net for one and I'm not sure how to choose one kind over the other.   Do you have one?  Do you like the one you chose?  I would love any suggestions you might have.  Thanks in advance!

A small amount of red wool is required, here I used a double knitting cotton mix and a 4.5mm crochet hook. I also used a small fabric covered black button.
