Every year I find my "holiday" pattern. I can't manage to design AND make it through the holidays at the same time, I need a pattern by someone else, something I don't have to invent as I go. Some years it's been a hat, others a scarf. This year it's something completely different....
I've been in a knitting fever lately working on sweaters, and other stealthy holiday projects. But when I go out knitting with friends or have them over to tea, I need something quick, something simple and something cool to knit. And I found the perfect pattern in Chris de Longpre's Winter Fir Tree pattern. They're quick, and simple, yet not boring. And they look so cool on your dining table, or under the falling flakes. You can make one, or a whole set.
The pattern calls for worsted weight and I'm using 2 strands of sock yarn held together which works perfectly. It's a great way to use up those odds and ends of yarn you have around. Thanks Chris for making my holidays complete!
Knitting fever is very good for cold wintry days. Love, love, love the table runner.
