The posts about the knitted Advent calendar, originally published in December 2005, will be featured in December 2021.
Thank you all for the comments on my Advent calendar. It was fun to make, and I feel happy about it every year. I have done a number of felt ornament kits, a felt snowman wall hanging, and of course my snowman rug. It’s great to have and make Christmas ornaments, but can a family have too many? My excuse is that I will off-load some of them to my daughters when they grow up.
After a holiday marathon of reading Perry Mason novels (I bought some and my daughter gave me more), I was ready to knit again. The yellow vest is started. It’s an abridged version of the Seveness technique, using only five different yarns instead of fifteen or more. Here’s the progress so far. The yarns are from Lion Brand.
I have several projects that need immediate attention, including administrative work. Even Perry Mason reluctantly dealt with his correspondence from time to time, though he had Della Street to help him. My personal goal is to send off my tax return by the first of April. Better get going.
