As you can see customers have there own ideas for Christmas. Here are two creatures that have been brought in for display as Christmas toys. There is a snake in Light and Lofty and a turtle in Super Saver, both yarns from Red Heart Yarn. They are made up as they go, by this creative friend of Yarn Elf, who is my substitute when I am gone, His nick name is Yarn Elf Substitute.
He likes to do his own thing in crochet and does quite well without patterns, though I do offer suggestions on crochet technique to help him out so it looks more professional or finished.

Some books arrived yesterday to help with gift giving thoughts and maybe some small projects.
One or two skein projects can work up fast. Or Maybe the books could become a Christmas gift.
Another thought could be a book and the yarn for a project out of the book.
To update you on one of my projects. The snowman
candy cane holder, has the snowman finished. All he
needs are the arms sewed on and the face applied. There is a crocheted hat and scarf to finish him off. He should be a great hit with the great grand kids this year as well as there other visitors.

That's quite some zoo from YES! Check out Alan Dart patterns, he is quite popular these days for his cute critters and other items. Your snowman will bring on the season...guess it's time to decorate the workshop in tinsel and holly, seasonal choruses and wrappings.
one book missing from your pic on one-skein projects went out the door under someone's arm as it was unpacked....
