  • Winter solstice, which will happen on Saturday, December 21, 2024;
  • Hanukkah, which begins on the evening of Wednesday, December 25, 2024;
  • and Kwanzaa, which begins on Thursday, December 26, 2024.

No matter which holidays you celebrate, if you’d be interested in making wine or liquor a part of your holiday celebrations or gift-giving efforts, I invite you to check out this festive free pattern for crocheting a wine bottle cover.

I'm excited about this book, Delicate Crochet by Sharon Hernes Silverman! I am super proud of the 2 patterns I contributed to this pattern collection. I hope you'll check out the fingerless gloves and the beaded necklace I designed for this book. Both of them are gift-worthy and quick to make, which means they're ideal for Christmas crafting. Thanks for taking a look at them!
