Home-Start Snowflake Appeal

Hello..........The other day over on Instagram sometime mentioned to me the Home-Start Snowflake Appeal, which I hadn't heard about, so I popped over to here to find out all about it.

Yes I was already hooking up a few Snowflakes for a yet to be announced Summerhouse Christmas project, so I figured why not make a few more for this wonderful charity, which gives help and support to struggling families in the UK because lets face it with all the cuts the government has been making, a lot more people will be struggling this Christmas.

So I've decided to dedicated this weekend to making some Snowflakes to post off  to the Charity, all the snowflakes are going to be displayed on a tree at the Christmas Handmade Fair at Manchester Central on the 22nd November and the organisers are hoping to get 30,000 snowflakes, so why don't you get to hooking up some too? As I have lots of yarn and hooks already, I've just made some snowflakes, from a pattern I already had but you can order a kit and download a pattern from lovecrochet.com, should you choose.

In no time at all I had quite a little flurry on my hands

using fine cottons and lace weight yarns, although I think maybe they still need a little blocking

I made big and small snowflakes, as we all know no two snowflakes are ever the same, you can also make a donation to help the charity, which we will also be doing here at the Summerhouse.

Thanks for helping, if you decide to join in.

Happy Crafting
