All of my snowmen are named for family members,
except for McJoty. Let me explain the reason
for this name. McJoty is made entirely from
the chain stitch. The chains that this snowman is made
up of came to symbolize to me the chains that bind our family. All my snowmen
start with chains, and in that way we are all the same, bound by our family
ties. So, now came the task of choosing a name. I asked my daughter, Nicole,
for help. We decided that, because this snowman was symbolic of our family
togetherness, we would take the first letter of the names of each family member
and try to come up with a name from those. Not an easy task with J, T, K, S, R, J, N, M, C, and T.
We did have to add a few vowels and, yes, a few extra consenants to come up
with the name McJoty Sparkle Shine. But that only means that we have left open
the way to welcome new friends and grand babies to our family group. We'll just
have to make sure that their names start with P, L, or H.
A very easy pattern to follow, this would be a good pattern for the beginning
crochet enthusiast.
