Fifth Wedding Anniversary
The traditional fifth wedding anniversary gift is something made of wood. This is an easy one - easier than, say, tin & aluminum (10th anniversary). There's lots of good ideas out there:
For our fifth wedding anniversary, Jim is getting hand-knitted socks made from Crystal Palace's Panda Wool yarn. Panda Wool is a 51% bamboo, 39% wool, 10% rayon yarn. This colorway is called "Menswear." I started on them last Saturday. They're a little further on than in this picture that I took yesterday - there's now 5 little cable-y things instead of 2.
I have another colorway called "Nightshade" that I will start on when I am done with these socks. So Jim is getting two pairs of socks for his anniversary present.
- Coupons written on thin balsa wood
- Anything made out of paper, such as books and tickets
- Anything made out of rayon (manufactured from wood pulp)
- Wooden art, such as carvings, crosses
- New kitchen cabinets ;-)

I noticed that you made the adorable pea pod, but the pattern is not available any more. Is it in the magazine by any chance or was it just a free pattern? Thank you.

I love the pea pod, but can't get the pattern since Interweave isn't offering it for free (or purchase). Is that where you got it? So precious. Thanks,
