Crocheted snowflake earrings

There is much happening outside as Xmas arrives. Lots of hustle bustle in the shops, on the road, in the school too and everywhere. For me, if its to say, its like a busy family since last few weeks. A very busy husband with his office work, some travelling too, now hard working just before the Xmas shutdown. So needless to say, all the household responsibilities on my shoulder. Sometimes I enjoy it, sometimes it takes my breathe away, managing three little ones in this very cold weather, waking them up in the morning when they are cuddling inside the warm duvet(feel so sorry for them, but no way until holidays), up and down to/from school, cooking, feeding (ahhh, the most difficult task, I should say for me, don't know about others), doing dishes, teaching them and finally putting them to bed. All happens monotonously. Sometimes feel like watching a black & white  art film. All the same. But in spite of all these, if something comes to my rescue is the crochet. I feel relaxed as I see my yarns n hooks.Oh there, did I forget to mention, I have joined a teaching course too. So its a big rush. I wonder sometimes what would I have been if I hadn't found myself out to crochet.

 

A small amount of time dedicated to my yarn and hook gives me that unexplainable pleasure, as if all my pains disappear and I get a very good night sleep, which ultimately as everyone desires. This week my post is about the snowflakes earrings I managed to make in between my rush. I couldn't think of a pattern of my own. So I borrowed Lucy's pattern. That was so well explained as always she does.

 

I wanted to make snowflake ornaments for our Xmas tree, as kids love to hang this and that. But then I felt how it would be if its a jewellery. So thought to make an earring out of the pattern. Since the thread was so thin, I chose 1mm hook. The thread being so fiddly to handle, it took sometime to finish off with the second round and then proceed to third round. However, it came out well. I also added tassel as I love danglers much and finally finished off with the findings. Excuse me for the poor lighting as it was taken on a rainy day with  maximum day light available. After I finished it, I gave a light press to the earrings as it was curly at the points and the tassels too. And finally an earring was born  that day. Its really so pretty that I would love to wear it. Its so light that we don't feel that we have wore an earring. Only if the tassels tickle on your neck, may be you feel it.

 

How are things at your end? Hope you all will have a lovely weekend and good Xmas shopping. Its time for me to have a good cup of coffee. So see you soon in my next post. Byeeeee... Happy weekend and happy crocheting.
