November 18 and 19, digital work and another wreath

Well the newsletter proved to be a bit of inconvenient (or totally annoying really) and I spend most of Monday trying to fix it, designing a total new one instead. Since I also made a Newflash for Gratitudebeads (actually bot were in Dutch) it was a busy digital day.
Today I finished another wreath, with two yarns worked together.

I discovered that my favourite one (the green/purple one) is no longer sold online in the Netherlands, but I still have a small ball left.
I decorated the wreath with small bundles of yarn

and then tied little get well notes to it (from our Friday knitting circle)

And when I started cooking dinner I also took a picture of those little miniature Christmastrees (at least that is what my children call it): Romanesco it is called (a combination of broccoli and cauliflower). It tasted just fine, and now I'm late again for my blogpost. Better next time.

 

November 17, Christmas wreath

For my newsletter (which I still have to post...) I made a Christmas wreath with small reindeer (not crocheted) around a styrofoam circle (17 cm diameter).

You cannot see the small leaves around, which I made by making 5 double crochet, 5 single crochet around and the on the other side the same. Then double crochet all around (the rim) and then leaves on the otehr side (but exactly opposite, so 5 double crochet where I started with 5 single crochet and vice versa). For the middle I used a different thread (and a smaller hook) and I like that it forms a star in the middle.
