CROCHET ADVENT WIPS CALENDAR

Local radio were talking about all the unusual Advent calendars there are these days, which got me thinking about all the unfinished project i have and all the stitches/rows/flowers/square i should be doing to complete a few projects, or those small Christmas presents i want to make...

IDEA!

A CROCHET ADVENT CALENDAR

It might clear a few unfinished project 

or make a few stocking fillers.

I've given it a lot of thought and gathered together a few ideas I want to complete or make, so from tomorrow 1st December 2018 i will start my 

CROCHET ADVENT CAELNDAR

If you have a few things lying around that really need completing then join me, MAKE A LIST OF ALL THOSE UNFINISHED PROJECTS

You could complete or at least get started again on a long forgotten project at the back of the cupboard 

I bet you have a few, even if its just one and you just do one row, 2 rows, 3 rows on it each day, something will be well on its way by Christmas

Share your pictures on my Facebook group if you want link below.. 

Sue Pinner Granny Squares

i'm going to start with a couple of small presents but it could be anything you need to complete or make for Christmas, hopefully this will be like the 

15 Minute Rule and we will all clear a few forgotten projects

for example for me it will be...

DEC.1st: One Headband.....alpaca

DEC.2nd: Two wrist warmers...alpaca...

and so on but i won't spoil the daily surprise, have a go it might be fun and will certainly help clear a few projects, I'm sure
