holiday SNOWMAN crochetalong!

[darski]

Get out!! I love that tote. Just proves that all the best people are at the Ville. I am mazed at all the talent that we have here. Truly amazing

[QueenOfCrochet]

That is so cool to be among such talented people.

 

Darski~That would be really cute, good luck.

[darski]

I made this snowman because I love mantle mittens. I don't actually have a mantle so it's a door hanger for me

 

 

I am trying to write a pattern but it is pretty much a crochet by the seat of your pants thingy. Most of you could probably copy it if you want one.

 

I might still get the lights across the top or add a brim ... we'll see.

Darski.. That is really adorable. I love it!! It looks pretty simple to make. I may just give it a try next week!!

[QueenOfCrochet]

Darski~That is so cute, great job!

Great Job on your mitt, Darski! It's so cute. I still haven't started my snowman yet; I did get some white WW last night though for it. Probably tomorrow....

That's real cute Darski.

I've done a couple of small snowmen. I came up with the pattern myself! That's big for me. I've never done a stuffed animal or anything stuffed for that matter, so for me to come up with a pattern was a big thing. I'll post a picture soon. Gotta get back to making squares:hook

I think I found the perfect gift for some people at work. I am going to make a few of these http://hometown.aol.com/lffunt/snococoa.html I think these are great! Sooo cute!

Just found this post and i am about done with a snowman that I made out of plastic bags. i needed to make b/c i heard that people make staffed things out of plastic and use what the handles that they cut off to use for the staffing. It does work great for staffing. I just need to finish stuffing it and make a hat from trash bags and a scarve. Don't know what color bags i want to use for that. The pattern that i am is from a snowman that someone gave to me for christmas some years back. While i hope i can put a picture up here when I am done.

Darski- I love your snowman door hanger!!! How fun!

 

Here are my snowman parts. I will be assembling them this weekend.

That is toooo cute! I don't have a mantle either , the first thing that popped in my head was it would be a cute little stocking for the kids. Santa fills our stockings with little things, so the big stockings don't look full and my oldest always looks soooo disappointed(not that he doesn't spend 10 minutes rippin through everything else to realize he only has the stocking left!)

[darski]

A mantle mitten is a replacement for a stocking. I just think they are cute and always wanted to make one. i was thinking that the thumb would be a neat place for some very special but small item.

[Mom w/a Motif]

I started a snowman today. I have been going snowman crazy today. My four year old and I made one out of paper with little snowflakes all around (ahem, I mean *I* made one...) It was still fun though. Then I looked through all my magazines where I thought I remembered snowman patterns. I am almost positive I had one with about five different snowmen out of thread. I'll look more tomorrow.

Hey!!!! Someone should start a snowman swap!! Huh? Huh?

I started my mom's snowman doorstop today...I'm hoping to breeze through it this weekend so I can work on lapghan I'm making for my dad!

I thought I would share this bit of Snow wisdom in this thread...

Oh I'm in! It's been a while since I've done a CAL. I bought yarn ages ago to make a snowman and this will be the perfect jump to get me going.

 

Plus it will be a nice distraction from the move. (I hate packing.)

[crochetaj]

I finished mine! It's a little guy, but I am just pleased as punch with him.

Pattern: Snowy McFlurry, my own design
