I needed a wreath for my front door, but didn't have extra cash to spend.
I found an old hay wreath in my closet and rummaged through scraps of yarn.
I wrapped and wrapped the hay wreath until it was all covered. I like the bumpy, natural look rather than the perfect look I've seen in other wreaths.
I talked about finger knitting my garland for my tree this past year. I did the same with an old skein and wrapped that around the wreath.
I only wanted the wreath partially covered.
I tied in the ends. Look at all that texture!
I wish I could give a knitting tute, but I'm a novice myself. I just learned how to knit a cord.
I took the cord and stitched the ends together to form a flower.
I tied the flowers to my wreath.
I added contrasting buttons to make each flower pop.

I really like the flowers and design of the wreath. It looks very cozy and wintery.
