Katherine of Making Chicken Salad continues to feature great tutorials on her crafty blog. The latest is a finger-knit rope that looks lovely as a holiday garland. She's provided great step-by-step photos to get you started. I guess I missed out on this technique when I was a kid but you can be sure I'll be adding some to our decor for Christmas.
Have you guys started planning for the holidays yet? I like to get my gift list started about now so that I have enough time to procrastinate before actually making/buying them. I've got Christmas decorations from last year that I'm still excited about but would like to accomplish an advent calendar of some sort and finish that quilt that I started. I can tell holiday decor ideas are starting to trickle into Flickr feeds. It's the best time of year for crafty eye candy! Expect a post on that soon.
xoxo,
Rachel

I made a finger knitted garland last year for the tree. It turned out wonderful!!Have fun!
I've already started my "handmade holiday". I'm really excited about it! Thanks for sharing.
I was so sad that I couldn't make this cute garland, since I don't know how to knit. But now that I see it's finger-woven, I'm going to try it out for sure! Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for the link! I've been telling my sister I could crochet us some holiday garlands, but this looks like a fun new technique to try! And easy enough I might even be able to teach my sister to do it... :)
Just found your blog, and LOVE it!
I too need to get started on some holiday projects. It will be here before we know it!
