Little Trees Washcloth Knitting Pattern
The sister to the Christmas Tree Farm Washcloth, this pattern features just 5 Christmas trees (or plain evergreen/coniferous trees, seeing as they’re not actually decorated). These are more shapely trees, and remind me of what I consider to be the standard Christmas tree cookie cutter shape. The progression of the Christmas tree size was of course partly inspired by my series of cactus washcloths, this one in particular along the lines of the Little Cactus Washcloth. And more tree washcloths were possible simply due to the size of a ball of Knit Picks Dishie. There was no question that I would be able to knit, at the very least, a…

Christmas Tree Farm Washcloth Knitting Pattern
Christmas trees have been the theme of this Christmas season for me. They’re always an important part of course – it’s not really Christmas until the tree is up.

Make the Nowel Christmas Tree Skirt
I have had a number of ideas for Christmas tree skirts floating around in my head for years. It’s partially because I have had my own Christmas tree for 5 years (this is year 6), and have never had a tree skirt, mostly because I couldn’t find one I really liked. Or couldn’t decide, I am a very deliberative person. Then this year my sister asked me for a tree skirt for herself. She has a pencil tree because when she and her husband first got married they lived in a pretty small apartment that was just over 400 square feet, and even though there wasn’t much space, there was…
