For Dear Friends - The Ornament

A few days ago, we got together with some dear friends for fondue and laughter. It was a wonderful evening. These friends had never quite gathered like this before, for these are my knitting friends...the ones I meet every week at the local coffee shop...I had a few surprises up my sleeve, as did some of the others...these ornaments were one of them!

When I first saw this ornament over on Pinterest, I knew I had to make not one, but a bunch! I put it in my bag of tricks to craft for the holidays!



I used a glass ball as my base and wrapped the yarn around it after tacking it down with hot glue to start. The knitting needles are actually very simple...you'd never guess! I cut bamboo skewers to the length that I wanted and glued wooden beads to the top! They really were very simple to make and I'm in love with the way they came out!

My friend Kerrie, over at Sea Kettle Diaries posted a brief tutorial on how she made hers after she saw my pin. Go check hers out! They are just as beautiful! She has a different spin to her needles too!!
