About this time of year one begins to reflect on things in general. The usual questions are being thrown around. Questions one sometimes does not want to answer. One in particular springs to mind!
Have you been naughty or nice?
I have to admit that I am usually on the naughty list. What can I say. Being naughty does have its advantages, but I am trying to be good.
I thought that if I created a Christmas based crochet item, and offered it as a free version on my webpage, surely that has to tip the balance just a bit towards making that nice list.
No guarantee for sure, but I have to try!
So here it is, the Christmas Goodie Sack!
This works up fast, and is fun to make, (or so my pattern testers tell me. Totally of their own free will. Really, truly).
Mmmm, that reminds me. I really must remember to release the pattern testers from the pattern test command centre (the basement), at least before Christmas. Ah, well. I am sure they will be alright!
But back to the Christmas Goodie Sack.
Linked stitches are used to create a densely stitched bag, large enough to hide some really decent Christmas Booty within.
No sneaky eyes peeking here!
Surface slip stitch is used to add a Christmas scene to the front of the bag. Snowflakes are added for that extra special Christmas look. A draw string completes the sack, ensuring no Christmas Goodies fall out.
Please visit my webpage for the free US version of the pattern.
Ad free PDF versions are available on Ravelry and Etsy in both US and UK Terminology.
Help a girl out by heading to Ravelry and popping this pattern into your favourites.
You, know who, may be watching and every little bit of praise helps. Apparently (or so I have heard), he has a list. He checks it twice. I really must be on that nice list this year!
