This year I’m hosting Thanksgiving for 12 people and wanted to make place cards. At Joann fabric store, I found a pretty skein of gold-and-brown mohair yarn; difficult to knit with, but easy to wrap around a cardboard template (from the November issue of Martha Stewart Living). Making the turkey head and wings recalled elementary school: tracing templates, cutting out shapes, using glue. I roped in my mom to help me (last week I was lounging around on vacation in New Mexico, where I grew up), and we did them all in half an hour. The hard part is going to be fitting the real, 19-pound turkey in my refrigerator. Click here to see more turkey place card ideas at MSL. — Bunny W.
