Better late than never

Should have posted this several weeks a go.

I'm still working on my Advent Mystery Shawl. I"m about 9 rows from a bind off. Hope to make that possible by the end  of the month.

Two of my Knit Night buddies and I are working on Nefertiti Shawl. One friend knitted hers with lace weight and mohair, and motivated us to try our hand at this great pattern. I'm working my shawl with Yarn Bee, Hint of Glam  from Hobby Lobby. The Colorway is Teal. I started the shawl with my Chaigoo Bamboo size 3 needles. This yarn is a loosely spun yarn and I was having a lot of issues with the yarn splitting. I changed to size 3 Karbontz by Knitters Pride and now the splitting is less of an issue.

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
