Winter Wonderland Yarn Wreath
I finished my holiday knit yesterday (Ysolda’s Peaks Island Hood pattern) and while I really want to start a new knitting project, I haven’t figured out the right one to start yet. And I think I need some help learning colorwork. So I figured it was a good time to use up some stash yarn (heads up: Lion Brand Babysoft Pompadour is the worst yarn I’ve ever knitted with) and make a yarn wreath! My friend Paula sent me a link to a tutorial of sorts last year and I’ve been meaning to make one ever since. I even went to Michael’s last year and wasn’t able to pick up the necessary items to make something. Even this year, I came home with two small wreath forms instead of the one big one I intended to buy (they were sold out), but I figure this way I get to make two – one seasonal and one more general one (I’m thinking blue/brown/cream argyle). My friend Kristin helped me pick out the perfect add-ons for the two concepts.
I call this one Winter Wonderland (aka I put a bird on it). Black and white. Classy, right?
Pretty!! I need to find creative ways to use up all my yarn…
Also, not sure if you intended the reference, but my mind went here when you said “put a bird on it”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XM3vWJmpfo
Great to see you updating here! <3
I knew it was a reference, but not to what since I’d only heard people use the phrase. Thanks for sharing the video!
