Hi CJ,
I'm all for getting prepared early this year!
I really like the idea of knitted wreaths,but can't link to the website..are you allowed to let me know the address for it?
Thank you very much!

Hi Willowbob

The wreath pattern is here :

http://www.knitting-and.com/knitting/patterns/christmas/i-cord-wreath.htm


If the link won't work for you, you can find it by googling Knitting Pattern Central which is a site full of free knitting patterns, then clicking on the Christmas section.
