Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays because it is about three things we especially love: food, friends and family. Without the added tension of costumes or gift giving, it seems almost relaxing compared to Halloween and Christmas...especially if you aren't cooking and can just devote yourself to friends and family!
In this newsletter we are bringing you a FREE extra-quick holiday project to knit or crochet by Kristin Nicholas, one of our TV experts and the author of a sumptuous new book about color knitting. We've also included a review of an excellent new crochet book crocheters will definitely want to add to their library. So, have a cup of tea, make Kristin's quick HoHoHo Ornaments and take a moment to give thanks for all the joys of this holiday season. |
Colorful Kristin
Those of you who watch Knit and Crochet Today on public TV will recognize Kristin Nicholas as one of our knitting experts. Her colorful and clever knitted patterns are always popular with our viewers, but her color knowledge and expertise range across many arts and crafts.
For three years, Kristin restored and decorated the 1751 cape cod house that she lives in with her husband and daughter. Visit her blog and see her fabulous home dec skills, needlework talent and, of course, her knitting and crochet. Her colorful life doesn't end at the front door, however. Since she lives on a working sheep farm in Western Massachusetts, that has resulted in some colorful blogging about farm life too.
Most recently, she turned her skills back to her love of colorful knitting. Her new book Color by Kristin showcases 22 new designs, lots of color tips and clear instruction on how to finish the unique projects including techniques such as steeking and alternate edges. Get details on how to order Color by Kristin to the left, or visit her website to learn more about this talented desginer and to order books and charming gifts for yourself or a loved one. |

 Kristin designed these super-quick and easy ornaments just for the Knit and Crochet Today newsletter. Download the directions for both the knit and crochet versions. Make multiples for a one-of-a-kind tree. Vary the look by changing the size and color (great way to use up leftover yarn) and get the kids involved in this easy project. They would also be great as coasters or as gift cards. Just glue a piece of heavy paper to the back, write a personal note and these personalized ornaments will remind friends and family of you year after year. |
