Christmas Origami!

As well as knitting, I also enjoy origami (the Japanese art of paper folding). As dull as it sounds, it's really fun and some genii have managed to come up with some really spectacular patterns! This origami site has got a lot of really good Christmas origamis.
I'm thinking of reinventing the Christmas paper chain, and stringing Christmas origami together (even though it wouldn't technically be a chain). I doubt it would last until next year, unless I kept it neatly folded in a box somewhere, but it won't take long to make and will hopefully look really nice.
See you soon,
Goose

It's perfect for guarding your Christmas tree, or sitting above your fireplace. It also makes a great gift as you could make it a whole wardrobe of hats and scarves.
