'Tis the Season To crochet'

I had to whizz into the town centre today.  I never hang about.  I don't enjoy it.  We are lucky to have a large indoor shopping precinct though but the shops are so unoriginal.  Not to grumble too much though, I popped into a 'Bargain' Bookshop called 'The Works'.  There are lots of these in the UK.  I found this very cute book for an absolutely bargainous price.  Cheaper than your average magazine.  I flick through pattern books like these like they are going out of fashion!   I prefer a good pattern book to a Novel!  This really is worth a looksy.
It is choc full of ornaments:
Gift Ideas:
Greetings card ideas:
Decorative favourites:
Garments and accessories:
I want a pair!
Aren't these cute?
He has to be my favourite.  There are loads more patterns and ideas in this book.
Another seasonal cutesie I have spotted today in Blogland that I wanted to share is this sweet little Angel tree topper.
I think she is adorable.  Complete with her little crochet halo.   You can find her at  'The Smiling Robot'  She was designed by Grace.  I think she is very clever.  The pattern is available for free on Ravelry Here.
Have you found any Christmas Crochet Goodies?

    Dear Lucy, thanks for sharing those ideas! Love them! I liked the stockings a lot -- I actually designed my own stockings which I will photograph and show on my blog when I unpack my xmas decs. I also make some little stockings for the tree. Fun times, eh?
    ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

    such a cute post
    i love the penguins and the mittens :)
    the angel is adorable too and who can resist a gingerbread man?
    i have presently been ordered to rest and this gives me time (at last) to do a bit of crafting. i think i'll add the angel to my list. she would look so pretty on top of a christmas tree.

    I know 'The Works' are in alot of towns, but an undercover shopping centre too, close to Birmingham. Surely we are not in the same town?

I appreciate and enjoy reading all of the feedback from your comments. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and sharing your thoughts. Sadly I have found it necessary to enable word verification, something I was trying to avoid...but I am receiving an unmanageable deluge of Spam! We don't want that do we? xxx :)
