Top knit tip

To complete the Gingerbread house Snow globe, you will need to create a twisted cord. The general rule is that your finished cord will be roughly a quarter of the length of your original yarn. Fold your yarn in half, twist, then fold again to produce a cord that has eight strands. Tie loosely together at one end. Fold the strands in half and loop them over a hook, pencil, doorknob or even a friend’s finger. Stretch the yarn out as far as it will go then twist repeatedly in the same direction. When you can’t complete any more turns, allow the yarn to twist in on itself, unhook the yarn from whatever was holding it in place and trim the loose ends.
