It is a crochet Chanukah!

[MOBOGAL]

Yay! My folks are the awesomest. For Chanukah, I have already received a ball winder and a swift. And tonight I got 2 beautiful handmade wooden hooks, and woven labels with my name for gift giving! My fam may not understand my crochet obsession, but they are doing a great job supporting it! I hope you all have as merry/happy a holiday as I have been having!

Sounds like you got some great gifts there - Enjoy them and your holiday

Happy Chanukah Mobogal. Those sure do sound like awesome presents. Enjoy everything. I got 2 crochet books for Chanukah, but only because I put them on my amazon.com wish list and hinted to my daughter to look there LOL.

What great gifts your family has given you! Now you can make things for others, so the gifts will keep the circle of giving going strong all year! Happy Chanukah!

What great gifts!

[MOBOGAL]

Thank you all for your kind wishes and sharing in my excitement! I knew you all would appreciate how neat the gifts were. I do have an amazing family, and even though they aren't here for Chanukah, I get to celebrate with them in spirit! I'm already planning many many more projects...and I'm sure I'll be posting lots of pics. I'll try to take pics of the hooks and post them here later. You are all wonderful, and I have loved reading your supportive words!

Happy Chanukah! The 2006 knitting page-a-day calendar had knit dreidels on yesterday's page. So that's a challenge to our designers here to come up with a crochet version.

 

We celebrated Chanukah by making tamales (a Mexican Christmas tradition) yesterday at the home of a friend who is a Jewish vegetarian from Santa Fe. What a great blend of traditions from all over! Patty

Congrats and Happy Chanukah!

 

BTW- does anybody have any crocheted Chanukah patterns that exist already? I'd like to start hoarding them, but am not really interesting in converting knitted ones right now...

Congratulations! It is wonderful when your family supports your hobby.

 

Happy Chanukah!
