Bit underwhelmed by this one. I thought I was making something like the trees pictured in the 2nd photo, but diligently following the pattern I got a cone (with a base). The pattern suggest you decorate, so I jazzed it up with some baubles. The blob at the top is really too small... 🧶 Crochet

I always wanted to make one of these, so when @handskapt generously posted instructions, I had to have a go immediately! Fun to do, but a lot of sewing and not a lot of crochet ... 🧶 Crochet

Rather like this little Fly Agaric mushroom. Free pattern by @demiwool I added a little loop so it can be hung on a Christmas Tree (we always used to have at least one little mushroom) 🧶 crochet

A sparrowhawk captured something again in our garden yesterday. Very few birds to be seen afterwards. But this lunchtime our robin was back. #WildlifeFromMyWindow

These were fun to make! Quite addictive, so had to force myself to stop. Pattern by Zee Khan of The Crochet Knotbook (I wish I could tag the designer, but nowhere in the pattern does it give the handle, and I forgot to save the post I got it from.) 🧶 Crochet

This is a tile from the free pattern The Ribbon Project by Crochet with May who designed a beautiful blanket with these tiles in honour of her mother who has cancer. I chose the breast cancer colours and made it into a bag. I hope to donate it sometime in the future (once I have lined it). 🧶Crochet

This started out as a gift bag, but became too big, so is now a tote . Yarn gifted to me by my daughter Pattern is from the book Today is Overlay Crochet by Oscar de Bruyn (Ozzy) & Sabrina van den Hooven. I took the middle bit of the pattern in photo 2. 🧶 Crochet

I made a bag for my daughter's partner's birthday. Is now gifted and she likes it, so I can post! The pattern is by Maryna Vershynina , but has originally a plain back. My in-house consultants suggested I made the bag showing the back of the cat. I added some paw prints to the lining. 🧶 Crochet

I was low on giftbags and low on projects, so dug out the one square I made 2(?) years ago. Made another and added sides and handles. Now I need to add another bag that not so wintry/Christmassy ... Pattern: Ice Blossom Mosaic Square by @createdbycarolien

Have been working on a mask for our local festival. Called it Under the Sea Applique patterns from the Sea Life Friends blanket by @kates.crochet.creations (except for the anemone, the seaweed and the tiny starfish which are my own design). Mask itself is my own design too.

A blue crocheted mask with blue ribbons. On the mask are sea creatures appliqued. In no particular order: a pink/purple seahorse, a yellow jellyfish, a red octopus, a lime-green ray, an orca, a blue dolphin, an orange anemone, and two tiny starfish, one purple, one yellow. In the background there is green seaweed. Mask displayed on a wooden background
