The Knitters Thread

hello everyone *sticks head round the door* I finally picked my needles back up, finished some more preemie hats and sent them off. My mother is knitting up baby garments faster than anything - she's now done 6 white of varying sizes, 2 lemon, and blue and a pink (we don't know what flavour we are having). So I've decided to make some christmas decdorations. I figure they should be quick-ish and Christmas is a nice target to aim for.
I loved the Jean Greenhowe christmas tree decorations, but no-where I've looked has her pattern? Anyone any ideas where I could get one? Or know of any similar free patterns (free si always good!)
Thanks x
I can't promise that all my replies will illicit this responser.mac, you are so wise and wonderful, that post was lovely and so insightful!

After watching my Turkish friend knit very quickly in the 'continental' manner, I fired up 'you tube' and learnt how to do it. It is really very much easier than how I did it before.
Does anyone esle knit 'continental' style?0 -

I saw a small knitted witch, ghost, pumpkin cat and cauldron on ebay and thought I could probably manage to knit them myself. Having searched the web I think they are probably made from a Jean Greenhowe pattern. But as I live in Spain I can't get them out here. has anyone knitted something similar and could you give me an idea of how to start or even (dare I say it) email the knitting details. Thanx0
