If you ever come to visit us at Christmas time (unless you’re my niece and nephew), you won’t find a tree at our house. We’re not anti-Christmas or anything, but we don’t have kids, we do have cats. If we’re home for the holidays, we’re home alone. It just doesn’t make sense to put up a tree. It’s also a little hard to get into the Christmas spirit when you’re surrounded by blue skies and palm trees. And where would I store holiday decorations in the off-season anyway? But I am susceptible to the charms of a really good wreath — the more minimal and rustic the better. So this Churchmouse Woolly Wreath is a holiday knit I can get behind. Such a clever use of loop stitch, and while I love the off-white version, it’s this ultra-rustic looking brown one that really gives me the swoons. If only I had the garden gate to go with it …
p.s. If ever I were to crochet a snowflake, this would be the one.
