Hello needleworkers and supporters! Welcome to @needleworkmonday’s Featured Posts #18! This is a weekly Curation showcasing the needlework of our very own Steemians. Every Monday we get together to share our love and passion for the needle arts using the #needleworkmonday tag. We enjoy each other’s creations, ideas, patterns, tips and shortcuts.

We strive to bring to you great quality work filled with tutorials and inspiration. Please help us keep these wonderful needle arts alive and thriving by supporting our work and community.

Let’s dive in to today’s curation...

#NEEDLEWORKMONDAY : making felt hedgehogs by @brittandjosie

What better way to decorate for Christmas other than DIY? @brittandjosie shares with us a cute project that can be done with your kids. Making your own decorations brings on great memories and a sense of achievement! These cute little hedgehogs look simple to create and are a great holiday addition.

THE ULTIMATE CROCHET CONTEST: Santa Claus scarf, crochet knitted. 🎅 by @carolinacardoza

@carolinacardoza shares with us her love for Christmas and about the traditions in Venezuela. To help keep us warm and get into the holiday mood she is sharing this lovely Santa Claus scarf pattern with a video tutorial included.

#needleworkmonday :: Crocheted little zipper dumpling coin pouch with lining 😊 by @marblely

One thing that’s a lot of fun about #NeedleWorkMonday is we sometimes get to see each other create unique items without using patterns. We call this winging it! @marblely does this very thing when creating this cute little zipper dumpling coin pouch. She wanted to experiment with these for Christmas gifts. The pouch is made out of beautiful and shiny polyester yarn. Come along the journey with her as she shares the steps to achieve her creation.
