Crafts - December 2025

[smallhobbit]

As shown in my Christmas post, I continued with cross stitch cards - this is the last one:

And I began the calendar SAL for 2026.  The theme this year is stamps celebrating events throughout the year.  I didn't want to do the stamp outline, kept the picture:



I also finished off the cake frill I began last year but ran out of time:



I knitted a star



And knitted the final 4 squares for the KAL



The flowers need finishing, but there will be a pause, as J gave me yarn for Christmas:

All your cross stitch looks lovely! And I’ve never thought to knit a star before but it looks great! Your knit-along squares are super cute. Yay for new Christmas yarn though.

Thank you very much! The star was a really easy pattern (I can send it to you if you'd like). The squares should look good once finished - whenever that is.

Yes, I sent him a link with instructions as to how much and which colours to order. It turned out he'd done exactly the same last year. It's a great present - the fun of creating and then something to wear.

Everything looks wonderful as usual.

What are you knitting this time?

Thank you very much.

It's another jumper - with bold flowers on it.

All your projects look lovely! And I'm always so pleased by the cross-stitch cards you've given me - so much time and attention to detail!

What is a cake frill? I tried to look it up, but it still wasn't clear to me. What I've seen (that wasn't frosting) looks more like ribbon? That you wrap around a cake? Is that correct?
