Christmas Crochet.

I just returned home from a rush trip to California. My family had a mini get together to exchange gifts, say hello, get some Chinese food, and head back our separate ways. It's always so wonderful when we get to see each other, it's never often nor long enough. I have the greatest family. I wanted to share a couple of photos of the gifts I had made my niece and my niece that will make her appearance in January. The above are little dresses I made for the new baby. Sorry for the messy backdrop, I was in a hurry to wrap them and hit the road. I'm sure next year I'll have some cute photos of the dresses in action.



This bad boy is a poncho I made for my two year old niece. She didn't grasp the concept since it didn't have arm holes. She put it on, flapped like a bird a few times, took it off, threw it on the floor and took off to go play. That's okay, I have high hopes for getting a photo of this piece in action as well.

The pattern for the pinafore is here. 

The pattern I based the poncho off of is here.
