Holiday Calendar

January 5th

1 day till 3 Kings Day

Oranges are in season this time of year, thanks to the Florida orange groves. I always pick up at least one case of them. If your compost pile is getting full of orange peels, try making these tiny wreaths instead.

Keep your neck warm during the Holiday season with this handmade scarf.

This Christmas scarf is hand-knit with white mohair and gold tones lame yarn. The little mistletoe applique is hand-crocheted with bedspread weight cotton thread. The entire scarf is very soft, perfect for wrapping next to your skin.

If one mistletoe isn't enough embellishment for your taste, you may want to pin a few wreaths to it as well.

These Christmas wreaths are hand-crocheted. They make great appliques for scarves, hats, shirts, and purses. They would also look fantastic hanging from a Christmas tree.



Both items were hand knit and/or hand crocheted by Diane, owner of The High Plains Knitter store on Etsy. Diane told me that she enjoyed making them both. "I love knitting and crocheting", she said.


Stop by Diane's store today and enjoy the store-wide sale.
