Shelf Sitter Snowmen
Recently, a crochet customer, Kirsty, sent me photos of the Snowmen that she made from one of my patterns in Country Treasures in Crochet World magazine. I thought they were so adorable, I couldn't resist putting them here for all to see. Kirsty did such a wonderful job! I love ALL the colors she used, especially when they are all together! The PATTERN is now available at: Free-Crochet.com. I like Kirsty's use of color better than my own! They way she photographed the snowmen, made them come alive!

Tis the Season for Giveaways at Cute Crochet Chat!
Hurry on over to Cute Crochet Chat for a chance to win Christine Lucas' new book, "Huggable Crochet" published by Krause Books. A winner will be chosen next week!
Huggable Crochet Review and Giveaway
This book is titled, "Huggable Crochet, Cute and Cuddly Animals from Around the World", and is written by Christine Lucas. It is published by Krause Publications/FW Media.
The patterns for all the animals are divided into five interesting chapters, with fun names. They include The Pranksters, The Protectors, The Scientists, The Covert Operatives and The Entertainers! All in all, there are 19 crochet patterns for cute animals.
The book describes all these animals as being TRULY huggable, as they measure from between twelve inches to eighteen inches!
The patterns look very easy to follow and include wonderful illustrations that will help you create the animal to look as the designer intended. She also gives finishing tips.
There is a metric conversion chart in the beginning that I actually learned something from!
Christine takes you on a "magical tour of the animal kingdom!" Each chapter has Alternate Color Versions and I love the fact that Christine offers variations; the realistic or traditional colors for the animals AND a nice whimsical color palette for them! Such fun!
Some of my favorites animals include Sly the Snake, Bandit the Raccoon, Tiger Lily the Snail, and Hannah the Hippo!
You can learn more about Christine Lucas at her website: Scarecrow Originals and follow her on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/scarecroworigin
