Thanksgiving Decorations

The Thanksgiving holiday snuck up on me even though it's at the same time as usual.

In any case, it's high time to turn out a couple of decorations for the table or the entry way.

Cool Ideas for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is  a much-loved, but often overlooked holiday.  We don't shop for Thanksgiving gifts or sing Thanksgiving carols.  But we can decorate for the season.  Here are a few ideas.

If you have guests who will be setting their drinks down in common areas, here is a way to help them recognize their glass when they come back to it.  You can make little individual decoration to tie to each glass.  All your guests have to do is remeber which design or color was on their stem or handle.

This pattern is from Lion Brand Yarns, but there are many color options and designs to choose from even if you only knit or crochet small shapes in different colors.



Okay, so I might not wear one of these, but there are those who would find this to be the perfect accessory for the holiday.  http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/L0628.html?noImages=

If you have a little more time and want to knit a lovely centerpiece for your festive table, this might tickle your fancy.
