We always host “Jeffsgiving” and it’s the one time of the year that I like to dress up the table. I’ve grown a bit tired of the gold and brown rectangle placemats we use every year so I decided to look into crocheting something new.

I recently discovered tapestry crochet thanks to a few cute Miyazaki patterns from Ty_Balie that I saw on Instagram.

These cute little crocheted Santa jar covers were put into hibernation last year when I was unable to get them finished up in time to ship back to Illinois for Mom to gift at Christmas. I’m pleased to report I got all the beard curls sewn on in time to ship these back for Christmas this year.

I was looking for another project to use as a stash buster when I came across the Twisted Ear Warmer by Carrie M Chambers and thought it was super cute.

I previously wrote about how I’d purchased a large amount of cupcake and mandala yarn without having a plan of what to do with it. Thanks to Ravelry, I was able to see what other people had made with these yarns and came across Morale Fiber’s Elf Coat.

I discovered Tessa of Tzigns on Instagram sometime in the last year or so. When her Everyday Sage Tee design starting popping up in my feed this summer I knew I had to make one for myself.

When I heard CrochetwithAlannaMiall had designed a dress version of the Nami top, I knew I had to buy the pattern and crochet one.
