Tannenbaum

We tried to use mostly recycled items, like these broken zippers I made into ornaments

Entered into my first big civic project since living here, organizing a Christmas tree to be auctioned for a local nonprofit. We're all knitters and spinners so we chose a fiber theme for the project. Everything was spun, or knitted or spun or sewn -- you get the idea. We had more than 100 ornaments by the time we were done and yards of wool garland. It sold for $600 and we felt proud (although some sold for thousands).

 

We were proud of the tree topper, a last-minute addition. See the ball of yard with needles?
