Star Garland

It's been raining...and raining...

and raining some more today.  

You know how much I love it!

I still laugh at myself for thinking it'll rain hard for 10 minutes then 

stop for another 8 months like it did in Las Vegas.  

(even though I know better here in Seattle.)

  It's funny what you become accustomed to over the years. 

So I sat, drinking hot tea by the fireplace,

(a loose leaf blend called "Seattle Sunset" from 

Savrika Tea in Kirkland )

 listening to the rain against the window. 

I started crocheting star garland with my favorite,  linen yarn.

Star garland...for the holidays, or everyday.

You can make them any size, or any color.

I'm using a 3.50mm steel crochet hook with linen yarn.

Step 1:   Ch 5, join with a slip st to form a ring.

Step 2:   Ch 3.  14 dc into the ring.  Slip st to 3rd ch of ch3 to form a circle.

Step 3:   *Ch 5.  1 sc in 2nd ch, 1 hdc in next ch, 1 dc in next ch, 

1 tr in next ch.Skip 2 dc, slip st in next dc.

* 

Repeat from * to * four more times to create five points, ending with

slip st at base of first point.

Fasten off for single star,  

or

Ch 20, and repeat from Step 1 for garland.

I'm looking forward to a lovely, and quiet Thanksgiving with Russell.

Lots of cooking, watching football, reading, 

relaxing, and probably more crocheting.  :-)

However you plan to spend the holiday,  I hope you find abundance 

and happiness within your heart. 

Blessings,
