Looks like I've got a wee tree farm - pattern from Annemarie's Haakblog - I used a 3.5 mm hook with #3 yarn - the pattern is easy....
Made these package tie-ons from the same pattern - used #4 yarn and made them one layer with no stuffing - sounds a bit like a recipe, lol.
This is Kola - she belongs to our 93 yo neighbour, J. J brings Kola to visit us regularly - Kola knows where we keep the doggie treats and isn't shy about asking for one or two or ..... J is as sharp as a tack, totally independent - does her own shopping, cleaning, cooking, gardening, still drives, etc. We consider ourselves blessed to have her for a friend - she tells the most interesting and entertaining stories - recently she told us about Christmas when she was a kid. One of her stories was about how she sang loudly and knew all the words for the songs for the Christmas concert but couldn't hold a tune to save her life - how we three laughed - she went on to tell us that the teacher invited her to stand at the front and lead the choir but to mouth the words only.
