Five Easy Crafted Holiday Gifts and Decorations
Living in snow country this Snow Gear Garland Pattern is ideal. I am going to start making this because I am completely consumed by the playful colors and will make a few pieces using Darn Good Yarn worsted-weight silk-yarn to vary my textures as well as color. I know I won’t get this finished for the holidays but I am going to make a few and who says this bold winter decoration is just for the holidays?
Holiday knit toppers with endless ribbon options
I don't know about you but it was a banner year for tomatoes at my home and I gave mine away!
Did you make salsa?
Or jam from the blueberries?
Its time to raid the pantry and whip up a knit topper. Be sure to grab some unique ribbon at Darn Good Yarn for these quick toppers! Ribbon stash options
Macrame can be a quick and easy way to create natural beauty. The bells are festive and I might suggest beads, bows, or a few berry boughs that you can remove after the holidays. I am drawn to the ease of creating this wreath for a last minute gift and it sure would go well in my home ;). Darn Good Yarn has options for Jute in stock and if you don’t have time for the wreath, this Whimsical Garland is on sale to Deck the Halls. Please let us know if you try it with the loopy jute wreath pattern!

While we are on the subject of Garland I wanted to share with you this kid created tutorial (less than three minutes in duration) for Easy Finger Knitting Garland Video for Kids . This garland can be as long or as short as your crafter wants and I love how it looks on the tree. It is a fun and easy way to have the older kids creating and join in the spirit of giving.
Create, relax and give this season from your friends at Darn Good Yarn!
