A treefull of knitted birds

I started knitting these birds the summer we lived in Ann Arbor. I made a couple of new ones recently and now they are all hanging merrily on our candle tree. The book is a gift from a friend, Connie, who I taught to knit. Connie is a bright and bubbly gal who just retired and is a new volunteer at the clinic. This is the second book by the author, Kate Jacobs. The first book was about a yarn shop owner that had a group of very eclectic knitters come in weekly for a group knitting session. I loved the idea of having a group to knit with so I am trying to encourage several people at the clinic to knit. I have taught Connie and Mahayla and they are doing really well - I am so proud.
