Merry Christmas!!!! Well what’s left of the day, I’ve had a lovely day with my family and actually managed to get some crochet time in this evening too.

My parents came over for Christmas dinner, and I had made my mum the Golden Rod sweater designed by Eleven Handmade, I’ve made one before but I’d bought some yarn from the Little Box of Crochet Grand sale, the willow and lark woodland in oatmeal, it’s such a pleasure to crochet with, anyway I gave my mum the sweater today so I can finally share a pic

I really do enjoy Eleven handmade patterns and she has some amazing ones on her Etsy shop , make sure you have a nosey.

I’ve also finished drake the dragon from the unicorns and dragons book, this was chosen by Max my nephew towards his Christmas gift, I’m really pleased with it and he loves it too!!

Isn’t he fab!!!

And whilst I’m on a roll! I’ve actually, finally finished my ubunto CAL!!! I’ve really enjoyed making this, and enjoyed not getting stressed out keeping up with the cal, I’ve completely gone at my own pace

It’s been so nice not being at work the last few days, catching up with friends, finishing Christmas shopping, I think a few days of rest and crochet are in order and then it’s time to start finalising things for February! It’s The Crochet Sanctuary very first birthday in February and we’re gong all out, I’m so looking forward to it, we had a great year last year and we’re looking forward to another, so many things amazing things planned!

Oooh I almost forgot I finished last months Little Box of Crochet, I really do love a mandala

And I really enjoyed making this although excuse the picture it needs blocking!

Oooh also I’ve finally put The water garden pattern on here too, under patterns I think this has personally been our favourite design this year

Anyway I do believe that a whopping 4 finished items! Not bad for me!

I hope you’ve had a lovely day

Happy hooking
