I found the pattern on Ravelry and noticed that several other people used this as wedding gifts making blankets and pillows. It is pretty symbolic of two lives becoming one, and fit perfect with our Redwood tree theme. I thought the pillows were really cool and may make them in the future but I decided just to make a single panel and weaved it over a branch to hang it on the wall above our bed. It was my first time reading a pattern chart, I did okay but made a few mistakes, it was easy to lose track of where I was, especially when knitting around children.
The yarn is Patons wool and much darker brown than the photos show.

That is simply gorgeous! And very clever decoration too, what a lovely reminder of something so sweet.
It is beautiful and I love the sentiments. The fecks of colour through the yarn remind me of autumn leaves. Jacinta x
This is so incredible, Heidi! And I love the symbolism. I especially like it hung from the branch.
Oh wow this is incredible!!!!
You are very talented.
I wish I had fraction of that talent ;)
Just discovered your blog-beautiful! I absolutely love this pattern, and the way you wove it onto the branch. Thank you for the link. Just might become an anniversary gift for someone...
