Christmas Trees!

You know when I said in the previous post that I had an idea...  I was looking at the picture of my edging and all of a sudden I saw... Christmas trees!  Yes, I could change the shape a bit and the edging would make great little Christmas trees.

And here they are:

I don't have any browns in my stash at the moment (I am about to remedy this problem and hope to receive some in the post today) so I did the first sample with jungle greens and black (photo below) and the second one in leafy greens and mocha light (photo above).  The mocha light gave me another idea though... you could use cream or white for the chains and small rings and it would look like Christmas trees in the snow!  It does a bit in the photo above even with the mocha light.  Don't you think?

I will give the pattern away to the first 10 people to comment on this post.  It's not been test-tatted yet so for the first ones who try it, I would welcome feedback.  After that, it will be available in my Etsy shop.  I've even designed a corner for it so the edging could be used for a handkerchief or as a frame.

And finally, one reader asked if she could have the stitch count for the small rainbow motif I made in the previous post.  It's very simple, mostly 5-stitch counts, and here it is:

In case I don't get a chance to make another blogpost before the big day...

Thank you for your support and interest during the last year.
