Psst… looking for a quick holiday decoration? The other day, I wanted to fill out an area on my tree and always wanted to do something with Lion Brand’s Wool-Ease Thick and Quick in the Starlight colorway.

Finally, I decided to make up a quick and easy star garland – like seriously, with this chunky yarn it takes minutes to get a star made! The subtle sparkle with…

The story goes that the pickle ornament is hidden on the tree, and depending on the version of the story you follow…
I’ve always been a bit reluctant to put up holiday decorations. It just feels like there’s such a small window of time that they get to be enjoyed, so I decided to make this amigurumi snowman pattern – the great thing about this fella is that he’ll last from the beginning until the end of the winter season! Materials: Worsted weight yarn in white and orange. I used red and green for his hat/scarf, but feel free to substitute whichever colors you want to make them in. Size E(3…
