Most Wednesday mornings I attend my weekly knit group in the welcoming atmosphere of Nicky T's Cafe in Oldmeldrum. Nicola and her staff couldn't be more accommodating!

The closest I got to a photo of Jana! |
Wasting no time, Jana jumped straight in and had us creating a woolly hat from a section of loo roll tube knotted with soft grey yarn.
Combing these strings created a beard and moustache to go with the woolly hat.
A quick trim, and a helping hand from the hot glue gun, meant assembly of our first decoration, a wee tomte or gnome, was complete - and the evening had only just begun!
We moved swiftly on to the next challenge - a macrame angel.
Possibly the most challenging part of the evening for me was making the angel's wings but, lots of knots, a comb and a trim later, and she was done.
Didn't stop me wishing I had an extra hand at some points!
Keeping the momentum going for the knots we'd just learned, Jana patiently guided us though another two decorations before the end of the workshop. So intent was I on finishing, I didn't take any progress photos. Here's my evening's work -
And here are the lovely ladies from the class sharing their favourite makes.
Thanks to Jana for a wonderful introduction to macrame at Nicky T's Cafe.
