If you happen to have an evening left - and some bits of sockwool - you could still make a small star garland for yourself or for a friend ...
I found this very easy-to-follow tutorial on Ellen Bloom's blog - though instead of acrylic, I decided to use some leftover variegated sockwool, both 4-ply and 6-ply, with a crochet hook 3,5 mm - and I spaced them a bit more, about 25 chain stitches inbetween, as I didn't have the time to make that many ...
My 4-ply stars are about 4,5 cm, the 6-ply about 5,5 cm big - so this is a small and sweet garland - but of course you can use whatever yarn you have stashed.
And if you don't find the time now, remember there will be a new Christmas time next year!
(German summary: Eine feine und doch einfache Häkelanleitung für kleine Sternchen habe ich auf Ellen Bloom's blog gefunden - mit Sockenwollresten schauen sie noch einmal so süß aus, finde ich!)

What a colourful guirlande. If you ask me you have a love-affair with sockwool!
(LOL)
Lovely homely warm garland
Glad you like it, girls!
