FINGERKNITTING

(For all Sabbats)

Use a symbolic color to fingerknit a rope to represent the Sabbat being celebrated. Tie each new piece to the previous seasons' pieces to form one long rope that keeps getting longer the more time you spend on the path. There is no effective way for me to explain fingerknitting to you so that you will be able to follow the instructions (though you can watch other people demonstrate on YouTube, like this one), so just know that it is a way of weaving the yarn together to create a thick, loosely woven rope. If you can't find anyone to teach you how to do this but still like the idea, try braiding or doing any other kind of knots you know to get a ropelike creation going.

Colors appropriate for this:

Yule	Red-Green-White mixed
Imbolc	White
Ostara	Dark green-Light green-White mixed
Beltane	Pink and Blue mixed
Litha	Red
Lughnasadh/Lammas	Orange
Mabon	Yellow
Samhain	Black

If you look at the appropriate symbolism for each Sabbat, you will find the colors of the season listed. If you would rather formulate your own symbolic main colors for your yarn (i.e., you'd rather not have any mixtures, et cetera), feel free to pick among those listed in each Sabbat's section in order to choose the colors most appropriate for you.
