Advent Knitting

Today is the 15th this month and year are almost over. I managed to get more knitting done than ever before, blogging not so much. I will try to gather my pictures and post some of the things I completed this year. 

I signed up for 2 Advent calendars this year. I started the Jimmy Beans Yarn Craftvent 2019, but haven't even finished Day 1. I will get it later.

My Lola Bean Advent Calendar is for Mini skeins, so no knitting. It was a little late since AC was sick so the mailings were a little late. Well mine finally arrived and it was well worth the wait. Here are the first 15 days.


I'm still on Week One of The Homespun House Advent MKAL, but I'm loving the yarns I have received so far.




Thanks for stopping by,
Gwen

Yarn and Thread

We are really in the 4th month of the year. Well that would be halfway through the 4th month. Easter seemed so far away and now it's only 7 days away.
Right now I'm working on a C2C baby blanket that I wanted to present by Easter. I'm working toward the last corner but I'm not sure I'll be finished and have it blocked in the time I have left. 😓

This weekend I started working on Smash again. I decided to go with the purple Hawthorne Tonal, Eugene, instead of the more red tonal that  I bought. The Eugene seems to match the purple specks better.

I've joined the Ice Drop Addicts FB group. I've completed a few and 2 pop cap Ice Drops. I would like to work to one-per-week. I haven't made it there yet. There are do many variations, I'd like to have one each for myself as well as enough done for Christmas gifts. Fingers crossed.

I've been looking for a way to wear/display my enamel pins. Thanks to All About Ami, I think I have the perfect solution. I'm using her instructions to make a liner for a see through bag. The first base I started  was a little to big, (I think my bag is smaller than hers.) so I decreased the number of stitches on my second try. Fingers crossed that it won't be too small.  
I'm using the recommended 24/7 Lion Brand yarn, but I'm using Aqua instead of the Ecru.

Thanks for your visit.
