O Christmas Tree

Sarah London has a mystery project on her blog most months, where she reveals a new project over the course of around four or five blog posts.  This month started with bright green and fluffy white yarn – suggesting something very christmassy, of course.  So I dived in, and ended up with this.

A crocheted Christmas Tree, made from granny squares.  Mine is smaller than Sarah’s – she crocheted enough grannys to make an advent calendar tree, but since I already have an advent calendar in the works I stopped at seven squares.  Mine will hang on the front door come the beginning of December (which is way too close for comfort).

That fluffy yarn really does give a terrific snow dusted effect!  Both the green and white yarns are cheap acrylics from K-mart.  It’s very kitschy crochet Christmas.  I strongly suspect that this is in the realm of completely love it or completely hate it.  Now to crochet a star to go on top.
