\"Christmas<\/a><\/div>\n

Happy Christmas! <\/p>\n

Here’s the rest of the Christmas Crochet-Along roundup (if you missed my previous post, the other entries are here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\"PlanetJune
\nMeg<\/a> used variegated yarn to great effect with her baubles.<\/p>\n

\"PlanetJune
\nDi made some wonderfully sparkly baubles using beaded crochet with seed beads – I really love these!<\/p>\n

\"PlanetJune
\nPoor Ginger has been in hospital (get well soon, Ginger) but still managed to complete a few baubles for the CAL – now that’s team spirit!<\/p>\n

\"PlanetJune
\nReem made an exact twin of my white Christmas tree, but used beads instead of pins to make the baubles.<\/p>\n

\"PlanetJune
\nErica<\/a> made this Christmas pudding as her first CAL.<\/p>\n

\"PlanetJune
\nKatie<\/a> made Rudolph and all Santa’s other reindeer too – how cool is that?! And she cleverly adapted the technique from my PocketAmi witch’s hair to make a bearded Santa.<\/p>\n

\"PlanetJune
\nThis bold red Christmas tree was crocheted by Jo-Ann.<\/p>\n

\"PlanetJune
\nLinda did a little outdoor decorating amid the snow in Sweden with some Christmas puddings (and a couple of Christmas whales thrown in for good measure!)<\/p>\n

\"PlanetJune
\nHattalahutta stuffed her tree and decorated it with pearl headed pins and silver star sequins.<\/p>\n

\"PlanetJune
\nNicole<\/a> has been busy, making a poinsettia and a tri-colour candy cane…<\/p>\n

\"PlanetJune
\n…and a cute little white Christmas tree!<\/p>\n

\"PlanetJune
\nErica didn’t have any green yarn for her pudding’s leaves, but used green thread to great effect instead.<\/p>\n

\"PlanetJune
\nJana<\/a> made her poinsettia into a tree ornament with a little hanging loop.<\/p>\n

\"PlanetJune
\nLena<\/a> says this poinsettia and pudding were her first completed ravelry projects \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

\"PlanetJune
\nAnd last but definitely not least, Kim adapted my Elf pattern to make a cutie Merry Mouse to go with her other PocketAmi!<\/p>\n

All wonderful, I’m sure you’ll agree… And now to the winners! I used random.org<\/a> to draw 2 from all the emailed entries:
\nFirst prize<\/strong> ($10 gift certificate) goes to Jukatca<\/strong> – congratulations Judy! \ud83d\ude42
\nSecond prize<\/strong> (free pattern) goes to Robin<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

But nobody’s a loser around here: I’ll email runner-up prize discount codes to all<\/strong> the CAL participants within the next couple of days!<\/p>\n

Thanks so much for taking part; seeing all these sweet projects has really put a smile on my face. I hope it’s done the same for you with these roundup posts \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

And one more thing before I settle down with Dave and Maui for some tea and Christmas cake: I hope you’re having a very happy Christmas. Cheers!<\/p>\n

UPDATE: <\/strong>I missed a few pics from my updates – oops! Here they are:<\/p>\n

\"PlanetJune
\nCora<\/a> ran out of time to finish her tree, but did complete a cute snowman for the CAL!<\/p>\n

\"PlanetJune
\nRebecca had the lovely idea of making baubles to decorate the tree for her family reunion – each family gets to take one home at the end of the reunion. She also modified the pattern to make some into the ‘candy’ shape you can see here – clever!<\/p>\n

\"PlanetJune
\n…And Rebecca also made this cute elf and snowman into tree ornaments by adding a hanging loop to them. <\/p>\n

If I’ve missed your entry too, please let me know so I can add it to this post!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
