Christmas Craftalong

This is what I was thinking would be a faster way, but I hadn’t physically tested it out. I’m happy that, now, I don’t have to! Thanks for sharing your modifications!

I think for something more precious like a blanket that the other method makes for a nicer border on the front and back, but for coasters, the short cut works.

I have made three sets…well, almost three…I ran out of white yarn so I have 11-1/2 coasters! I need to see if I have anything in my stash, otherwise, I will have to make the last set a different color and just keep the other two as spares for myself! I am not buying more yarn for one coaster! ha ha

I was a bit upset that I could not find my Christmas Pickle ornament to hang on the tree. When I was growing up, whoever found the pickle in the tree got to open a present first on Christmas day. That tradition is no longer carried out since it is just me and Jim now, but I still want a pickle in my tree!

@Cindy made an Emotional Pickle for her husband and was kind enough to send me some sparkly yarn to make my pickle!

I love the googly eyes on him for some reason. :laughing:

My other pickles were just pickles, but I started seeing them on the internet with faces, so I did it!

Cute, you didn’t waste any time getting it finished.

Your pickle looks kinda like it’s planning to open all the presents while you’re sleeping… :winking_face_with_tongue:
