"Thank You" Projects (+Snowflake/Holly Border Pattern)

I try to make a point to work on something as a thank-you project whenever someone gives me yarn.  At the moment, my list includes a filet tablecloth(or table runner, depending on how long my baby yarn lasts) for my great aunt, a pillow for my great aunt, and an as-yet-undecided project for Aunt Suzie.  Aunt Suzie is a fashionable lady, so I've got a general category to work with: clothing and accessories.

While I contemplate what to do for that, here's the progress I've got on the tablecloth/tablerunner:

Soft leaves that also form the icy snowflake border, and a small berry between each set.  A perfect border motif.  I'd know-I made the pattern myself for that purpose.




 





Here's a little more detail on the filet motif...

And here's a little three-month-early Christmas present for you all.  I put 15x15 squares between the motifs on my project, and used a USC2(2.75 MM) hook with Red Heart Baby Yarn.

Have fun!
