Before the snowballing effect took place, I made another crochet flower brooch out of leftover Noro Kureyon Sock (here the ones I made back in summer)
Ironically as soon as I managed to use up most of it I found a gorgeous blanket pattern and ordered more Kureyon Sock yarn in different colourways, so there could be many more flower brooches in the future.
I managed to crochet two snowflakes before loosing interest and finding the paper ones we made last year to decorate the kitchen window.
And to keep my child's legs warm I knitted a pair of legwarmers from the yarn I bought online for my husband's hat. He is happy with blue one, but wants an yellower orange - I have a pretty good idea of the colour he'll like, but can't find it anywhere.
Katya, who sometimes refuses to wear COTTON knitted-looking dresses, because they are scratchy!!!, actually loves the legwarmers and wears them inside and outside everyday. However, she requested a green and yellow pair, because now it is her favourite colour combination. So maybe I'll never get around to knitting my pair of socks.
I wonder how other multi-crafters choose their next project and if they ever end up making anything for themselves or just keep on producing items for their family and friends.

Ooh! I forgot to tell you: I learned to crochet flowers like the ones you sent me!! (My mom figured out a pattern, after seeing one of the ones you sent me and trying to copy it, and then taught me.) Haven't figured out the bead part though...
Love the leg warmers! =)
I love the crocheted snowflakes. My very favorite Christmas ornaments are a set of tatted snowflakes that my mom had been given.... Love them. Ikeep learning to tat, then forgetting...
I love green and yellow, too.
such gorgeous things!
I have a half finished pair of socks that are for me.... and a lot of other things for other people on my to do list.
