Christmas Boot Crochet

A blast from the fairly recent past. I've only been making my own X-mas cards for three years now, but each one has featured a fridgie/applique ornament with a Texan theme. In 2007 it was a Santa Claus Cowboy Boot. I already kinda posted it at Ravelry but I've revised the instructions and added a chart and will link it properly this time.

Thank you for the boot crochet pattern. I adapted it and made a cowboy boot applique for a crocheted purse for a cowboy-themed silent auction. I posted it on my website if you'd like to see how it came out. Thank you again for sharing your crochet talents. :-)

Oh, it didn't link my name to my blog, so you can see the boot. Here it is ... It's not spammy, I promise. :-) www.suzannebroadhurst.com Where Life Meets Homeschooling
