Christmas Ornament

This little ornament has been missing for a number of years, but was found again on Sunday. My grandmother made this for me in 1987.



It's made from a tiny little berry basket, about 2 inches long by 1 inch wide by 2 inches high. Gam-maw wound up a half-dozen little yarn balls in Christmas colors and hot glued them in the basket with a pair of nails to be the needles. She added a little trim and a sweet note on one side, along with the year. This would be a great little gift for the members of your knitting group. You could use a different type of basket, different colors of yarn and trim, and even paint the nails to match the color scheme. Heck, you could even add a magnet on one side and voila! Even the 'fridge door can do a little knitting!
