Midway through the video, the sound glitches. Somehow, a couple of words were cut out, and the sound doesn't match video for the rest of the video. I tried to alleviate the problem by covering my face with pictures! Oh, well, maybe technology will be on my side next time!
Poll - you can answer in the comments... Should I leave the color wheel as is, or add some basic colors to the wheel? Maybe always leave Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Pink on the wheel, but remove "specialty" colors as they come up.

I have chosen Christmas as the Subject.
I live in Australia which has red, white and blue as the colours for our flag. So I have made a Christmas tree wind spinner which can be used as a decoration.
This was free handed using yarn I had here. Hook size 4mm.

I went with Old Glory and the 4th of July. The pattern is a YouTube tutorial by Apinyarn for Christmas sacks. I heard about this pattern from Ella, of No Catchy Name.
I used a 3.75mm hook and acrylic scrap balls. This patten works up super fast.

First thing that popped in my head for holiday in flag colors was of course something for the Fourth of July but I wanted to do something that I could sell at my upcoming markets. I have several Christmas markets this year so I went with a snowman. the pattern is Billy the Snowman by My Woolly House on Etsy. As always, I used random scraps and my trusty 3.25mm hook.

For this Wheelie Wednesday challenge I created a red, white, and blue birthday cake to celebrate USA's 250th birthday. I referenced the Strawberry Cheesecake free pattern by @PrettySweetStitches with a few alterations. Made in Bernat Blanket and a size 6 hook. The cake will serve as a centerpiece for 4th of July celebrations.

Unfortunately, I was unable to complete this challenge fully, due to a family bereavement.
Boxing Day, 26th December, UK public holiday. Started in England (red and white) over 800 years ago when churches started to open their collection BOXES and distributed Alms to the poor. Progressing over time, the gentry giving boxes of leftovers and coin to serfs and servants.
I am going to embellish and use it as part of a Christmas blanket, probably in 2030,

While looking at photos from our local 4th of July parade, I saw 4 toddlers sitting waiting for festivities to start. BING! Fake sparklers for those littles. I freehanded one on a curler. The "spark" is just a loose wrap of yarn and glued on. I used a 5mm hook and #4 yarn. It was fun to create.
My bomb pop is a pattern by TwinkieChan, a free pattern on Pinterest. I added a dowel stick for the handle instead of a pen. Voila. Again, I used a 5mm hook and #4yarn.

I used a pattern by Shadey Acres on Ribblr called Second 4th of July mini chart.
• This was made using Red Heart Super Saver and a 6mm hook.
• I'll be using this as the center of a blanket here in the next few weeks.
