Let's try this again...

... 10 months later!

Originally I wanted to start my Christmas mojo blog back in January 2013.  I'm not much of an online social media expert, but I had the brilliant idea that a blog will keep me on track with my many crafty projects.  Ten months later, here it is. 


My wish one day is to have a Christmas house filled with handmade items only.  Cookies, cakes, knitted items, crocheted snowflakes.  I take inspiration from these two men, Arne and Carlos:



Apparently, they are both somewhat knitting rock stars in the crafty world.  I had no idea they were so popular.  I bought their book 55 Christmas Balls to Knit last year when we were in London.  I will be using Wolle Rodel's AllRound yarn from Idee here in Charlottenburg.  I love the colours of red and white and with a high wool content (40%), I think this yarn would be just perfect.  Plus, it's 1.99 Euro.  Can't beat that.
