"Why is my Circle Ruffling?
You maybe Stitching too loosely, and want to go down a Crochet Hook size. You may be accidentally adding stitched through the project, or at the join. Be sure to count your Stitches each row. When all else fails.... Block it!
According to Martha Stewart, No one does. Read Her Post at This LINK
I was quite interest after living in Germany for a few years, and could not find anyone who had heard of it.
So decided to do some searching on my own.
Apparently it's not German. But it's still a Fun tradition.
Here is how the tradition works
After the kids are tucked in bed,
hide a pickle ornament, not a real pickle,
on the Christmas tree. The First one to find
it in the morning get s a special surprise. It's fun because it is silly and the pickle is green like the tree, so it's hard to find. I think the winner should get a big jar of gerkins. See The Video on my Youtube Crochet Channel At This LINK
