Let It Snow............

..........the crochet kind, you understand!
 
My hexagon blanket has had to take a back seat in favour of festive crochet projects I'm afraid.
 
 
This week I have been whipping up snowflakes for the living room window.
 

They are blocking as we speak.
 
 
I used the lovely Lucy's pattern for the top ones and the big one was made using Sarah London's 2012 snowflake pattern.
 
Snow Bite anyone? 
 
 
How have I only just discovered these? They are Christmas Mini Eggs, yummy!
 
Also managed another snood using the pattern from Annaboo's House.  I had some Sirdar Indie yarn left over and it's gorgeously chunky, perfect for this pattern.
 

And baked a boiled fruit loaf for hubby to take to work.

 
Hope you're all having a lovely week!

  2. Dear Victoria
    What lovely projects you have got on the go. I am looking forward to seeing the snowflakes in all their glory. I think the snood will be perfect for the winter months to come as well.
    Best wishes

  8. Lovely snowflakes Victoria! How have you only just found Snow Bites ... They have been around a long time, as they are a traditional feature in my children's stockings, but can't remember when that started! Love them xxx

  24. Hello, I'm visiting you from Fiona's place at Raindrops and Daisies! I was interested in scrolling down your pretty blog entries and to discover the snowflakes which I have been doing too! I got stuck on Sarah London's snowflake until I saw yours pinned out and understood the pattern better!
    I have also done the Red Heart's snowflake (from which Lucy based hers on) and another one of Sarah London's called "Simple Snowflake" from 2010. It's very easy and lovely and still posted. You may want to look it up!I love sweet peas and the name of your blog! Sandra
