Here's an unusual story from the Associated Press . Fiber artists are decorating trees in Yellow Springs, Ohio with knitted sweaters. Well, it has been very cold in Ohio this winter.

I have spent the past three years knitting birthday scarves and felted purses for each of the 72 staff members at my library. I have tried to use a different yarn, technique or stitch with each scarf. I have included patterns for the scarves on my blog. When this project is done I'll start to knit more ambitious projects.
