black friday

We don't really 'do' black Friday* here in the UK

though it's catching on.

Anyway I thought I would link the day with my recent makes,

which contain black.

These beauties are for my friends kids

 whom I've been making silly Christmas gifts

for a few years now.

Their tastes are on the Gothic side,

so I went for black yarn,

which I rather like,

even if it makes my eyes turn spirals like the fellow below.

Remember last years makes?

*black friday falls the day after thanksgiving.

It denotes the beginning of the Christmas holiday shopping season,

where many shops have huge promotional deals.

The 'black' name relates to businesses

recording their losses in red ink

and their gains in black.
