new to knitting

I'm in the process of teaching myself to knit as a way to de-stress and also it's stopping me snacking in the evenings.
Can anyone point me in the direction of some super easy Christmas decorations? I'm not fancying making clothes. I've made some triangles for bunting and just need to work out how to join them all together but I'd like to try something christmassy :D

    I used to knit loads but not for years just started again as my DD is expecting my first grandchild. I have to keep looking at You tube for instructions on how to do things stiches etc. Believe it or not I picked up the needles and I couldn't remember how to cast on..or off LOL...

    Why not join Pinterest, plenty of great ideas and tutorials there. Failing that type Knitting and how to etc into google. There are plenty of sites there, uk or US.

    Good luck, Sue

    Ravelry is the way to go as mentioned above - just remember to actually do some knitting nit just look at the many patterns. You can search for 'free' ones by the way.
