Tenth day of December

This scarf has been made with the same idea I knit the luxurous black shawl I had designed. This looks different because of the colours and yarns. The idea to make it is the same. First knit and then crochet the edges. Simple and also a beginner can do it.

Ninth day of December

These candles are made of beeswax sheets. It is easy way to make candles with natural wonderful scent. These candles can be made also with the children. No hot stuff is needed. Just roll the sheets. If the sheets feel dry and crumbles, just warm them a bit by a hair dryer for example and then it all goes better. You can also use the hair dryer to warm the bottom of the candle to smooth the bottom and make it stand better against the surface. Also the side seam can be warmed a bit and smooth gently to stay in better fit.

Eight day of December

One simple gift idea also for small children to make is to twist an easy keyring from yarn. Only little bit of material is needed.

First put the yarns through the ring. Then start to twist the yarn from both ends. When there's enough twist (you can feel the yarns get tighter) make sure the ring is in the middle of it. Then fold the twisted yarn and hold the ends all the time. Let the key hang free so the yarn will get double twisted (both ends get twisted around each others). Make a knot at the end so the keyring is finished.

Seventh day of December

If you need a gift idea for a craft friend, why not to buy some luxurous yarn. You know, it's difficult to buy special yarns for yourself. You consider them too fancy, too expencive -too everything. But if you give some for your friend it feels ok. So why not swap luxurous yarns by the Xmas! You know how wonderful it is to have such a gift! This yarn is Wetterhoff's Sivilla yarn. It consists of 30% silk and 70% wool, it includes Aloe vera, Jojoba oil and vitamin E.

Sixth day of December

I designed something special for the indoor horse stable Christmas. Also toy horses need blankets for the winter. These blankets are easy to knit, need only little mount of yarn and just a little bit of time. The front can be cord like under the stomach so the button is not necessary needed. Only your imagination limits what kind of blanket you can knit. This is just a simple example for you to see how it is done. The edges have a crochet decorations to keep it all shaped up. Let your imagination flow and have some fun!
