Leon day - it's Noel spelled backwards and celebrated today, June 25, a day that is six months since last Christmas and six months until next Christmas.

Though most people don't think too much about the holidays in the summer, crafters do. If you have a long list of friends and relatives and you want to give homemade gifts at the holidays, the reality is that many people start making them now.

In celebration of today's un-holiday, here's a cute ornament project from Lion Brand yarns. Named Hooked on Crochet, it's a plastic ball with tiny skeins and hooks, perfect for the crochet fanatic on your list. The Lion Brand site has lots of free patterns on their site, including other great ornaments such as the Love to Knit and Gingerbread Amigurumi.
