After the big storm we had to cut down our little birch grove beside our house. When Kevin and I built our home we made sure to save as many birch trees as we possibly could. Now they are all gone. Kevin is creative and he had a wonderful idea, which takes some of the sadness from our missing trees.
Our new coat tree.
When the boys come in from sledding, ice fishing and skating this winter, there is a new place beside the fire to hang their hats, gloves and scarves.
The shipment of Madelinetosh I received on Friday did not disappoint! I am not lacking for projects!
I enjoy playing with the color combinations. After the hats are all done, I would love to knit a pair of color work mittens with the leftover yarn. Any pattern suggestions?





Very cool idea Kev and speaking of Nostalgia, I recognize the scarf hanging from it in the one picture!! I miss my scarf like that :(
Well you know how to knit another :)
I really like this idea. I miss those trees and what a great way to use the “destruction”.
that is such a clever idea! !I love birch trees too- they are just so unique and beautiful.
Love it; great job, Kev! I had to add it to my pin board… so spiffy!
Love the tree! such a fab idea! I cannot wait to see what you whip up with all the lovely mad tosh!
