Did Santa bring you FIBER????

[monkeybabies]

Hope everyone had a very merry! Just wondering if Santa brought you fiber or any other crochet paraphanelia? I got $$ to buy some fiber and new hooks....but I also got a bunch of new books like 365 crochet stitches a year, Vogue Knitting Stitchionary IV crochet, The knitter's book about yarn...and a special gift from Jasmom...Everday Crochet. Do tel........

[rlanto]

No, Santa did not bring me fiber. But then I'm not too upset about that because I have enough!!

[oldbonboys]

I didn't get any yarn or the like. But Nanna decided that a memory wire mobile was some other crafty item that I could try my hand at (and in my favourite colour - pink too.)

 

It was a very crafty Christmas, with a number of the nieces receiving scrapbooking items from Santa and Grandma. Nephew even got me to teach him how to "spool Knit".

[Warrior Maiden]

Nope, nothing craft wise, which is actually good, because I have enough on my plate trying to get through my existing stash.

Crochet related I received Nicky Epstein's book 'Crocheted Flowers' and 13 balls of Aunt Lydia's thread...each one a different color. My husband said he sure got the stares in Hobby Lobby....lol...he was like a chick magnet buying thread.

 

My son got me a new camera. It's a crochet related gift because he knew I needed a new one for posting pictures here.

[Priszm]

No, no craft items. I did get a visa gift card though that will be used for some books I want. Sure, everyone asks what I want, tells me to make a list and when I do, I didn't get a single thing from my list (which included several crochet books) :-( Oh well. I guess I'll have to go shopping.

Me too. I guess I wasn't good this year. Next year, I'll be good, just wait.

 

[Real Deal]

No, but I gave fiber to my Auntie next door! She had recently mentioned a particular variegated she really liked, and I know she is on a limited income, so I found her 6 big skeins of the variegated.

 

Also, I really enjoyed crocheting on Christmas. I began a new shawl for myself, and worked on it all afternoon and evening. I'm very happy with the way it is looking and the amount of progress I made on it.

No fiber, but I did get and edgerydoo!! :cheerMy daughter (bless her heart) pointed my husband in the right direction for me! Can't wait to get started...I am off to the after Christmas sales today to get some fleece!

[Blondie]

I never ask for anything crochet related because I never know what I want to work on next. I could get yarn or thread for Christmas and it could be months before it is used for anything. Although one year as a stocking stuffer my DH got me a little zipper case to keep my hooks in and organized. I still use it to this day.

I have been talking about wanting to spin my own wool for months now, and blessed be, the kids were actually listening. I got a spinning wheel and stool, with accessories such as a lazy kate and a niddy noddy. But wait, hubby was listening too, He got me wool and bamboo roving for spinning and handcarders and a ridged loom. Oh, and lets not forget books to figure all this out as I have never spun anything in my life. It took most of the day just to put everything together.. What a great day it was. Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year!

[Tomeygirl]

I got a michaels gift card from my sister and from my husband I got 8 skeins of bernat soft and chunky some 3 purse handles purse snaps and 1 bed doll and 2 of the classic dolls

[rascalsmom]

My son got me a Joann gift card, which made me quite happy!

[Empress Busy Bee]

Nope, no fiber. Then again Santa knows if that's what I'd got, he'd be sleeping on the back porch. I don't want yarn for Christmas. I'd rather pick it out myself.

I did get two books (one was knit) and the calendar. I asked for them though.

Oh and I've been good this year.

[ZoeZoesmom]

No fiber, but I did get the Crochet Stitch Bible from my DD. I am so excited:clap I can't wait till this weekend when I can play!

[samistrange]

I didn't get fiber for christmas exactly, but I did get a pre-holiday bag of happiness from my dad. He knows things are really tight this year and I had whined a little to my mom about not being able to buy yarn. So dad being dad went out and bought me...are you ready for this?...70 balls of Lion Suede! That's not a typo, SEVENTY balls! He found them somewhere for 99 cents each! I'm so spoiled.

[grannyannie]

I got 4 skeins of baby yarn from my SIL. Of course, her son and DIL are expecting in May, so I know that it will be put to good use, lol!

Whoa! You hit the jackpot! Good for you!

[Titus2woman]

I got Season 1 of "The Office" and a piece of Choxie~WOOHOOO! Love what I got, and I'm enjoying slowly acquiring my fiber. I can only do but so much at once, and I'm already overwhelmed with STILL trying to finish crocheting for Christmas! (((((HUGS))))) sandi

I received 2 gift cards for Michaels and 2 gift cards for Joanns from my daughters. I also received a scrapbooking guide and a knitting book from one of my students, I don't knit so I exchanged the knitting for a crochet calendar. I also received some money which I used to purchase a sewing book.

[crazycrochet]

I received a gift card from Hobby Lobby and JoAnn's and the 2008 Crochet pattern a day calendar from DH and a set of beautiful bamboo hooks from my sister.

[esiepiela]

I didn't get fiber BUT I got $$$ to buy some!!!! Can't wait to go shopping!!!

[CrisKad]

No fiber for me, but that's because I had a black friday yarn spree.

 

This year I got a pair of sneakers, slippers, socks, a purse, a trenchcoat, a steohen king book, and pajamas! My family really went all out!

[angelfire]

No fiber for me either. I spent part of my day explaining to my son what Crochetville is about as my DH decided to bring up a reference to this group when I gave my mom an afghan. it is alright though because even though I didn't receive a single g/c or anything crochet related, it was a great day with family and I gave out four crochet related presents and my daughter gave crocheted dishclothes to her brother, sister, father and grandmother.

Idid get crochet hook earrings that a friend made when I returned home tonight...how cool is that?

[LittleJadeFrog]

I got $25 Micheal's gift card! Plus I got $$ and walmart gift cards from everyone else but I was told that was supposed to be for the new TV.... $600 would go so far at Hobby Lobby...
