Ask the Geeky Girls -
Jane (JanieB) from London asks:
Do you have any knitted Christmas decorations? Are you planning to make any knitted Christmas decorations this year?

I am currently using leftover sock yarn to make a mini mittens garland using the Smitten (a Holiday Garland). Previously I have knitted mini socks and made them up into festive bunting. Last year I knitted a Christmas wreath too.

We mention: Satsuma Street

WE NEED MORE QUESTIONS!!!!
