Crochet snowflakes and christmas in my heart

These little crochet decorations simply make me happy - I´m so glad I learned how to crochet this year! :-)

Snowflake from the book "Þóra"



Crochet hearts, the one in the front is from the book "Þóra" and the one in the back is a free tutorial, found here


I really loved making Lucy´s (attic24) snowflakes - they are so easy to make, quick and really really pretty! I just couldn´t stop making them and had to try out other materials than cotton... bulky lopi, léttlopi and einband (jurtalitað), which I dyed myself with dandelions and Rumex longifolius (njóli)

Since the light was so poor last week (it´s dark most of the time at the moment) I wasn´t able to take any pictures (word of the week). This shot is in a way a little something to compensate for that. Last weeks task was to choose a little spot (a room, a corner of your garden, balcony... ) and look for something interesting to take pictures of.
I went right outside my front door and tried to find something interesting there - not an easy task - but since I love moss, this little spot, covered with green moss is really interesting in my eyes...

  1. Hallo liebe Kristin,
    ich bewundere gerade deine kleinen so liebevoll hergestellten Dekorationen ... traumhaft die Schneeflocke ...
    Sehr gefällt mir die u.a. mit Löwenzahn gefärbte Wolle ...
    Dieses Jahr habe ich auch Einband Wolle gefärbt und finde sie sehr gut geignet, da sie ganz feine Nuancen innerhalb der Farbe zeigt ...

    Die Dunkelheit ist auch für mich ein Problem beim Fotografieren, ich nutze jeden Sonnenstrahl aus ...
    Ich hoffe, die kurzen Tage schlagen dir nicht aufs Gemüt und sende ganz liebe Grüße nach Island ...

    1. Liebe Susanne,

      es freut mich wirklich sehr, dass dir meine Dekorationen gefallen :-) Einband laesst sich wirklich sehr gut faerben - es nimmt die Farbe meistens sehr gut an!
      Ich finde die Dunkelheit einfach nur gemuetlich - sie stört mich uberhaupt nicht - abgesehen von dem Problem mit dem Fotografieren...

      Liebe Gruesse nach Deutschland!

  2. Hi Kristin, love your little crocheted decorations. The golden snowflakes are such a cheery colour at this darkest time of the year!
    Your moss photo makes me think of beautiful rolling green hills.
