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

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 

GIANT FLOWERS...CoveredHoops

Remember this post a few weeks ago, on Giant flowers?

 LINK HERE

for lots more pictures of the flowers and variations

Some progress has been made, i decided i wanted to put at least one flower into a hoop, it took 2 buys to get the correct size. None of the hoops cost me more than a £1, but I now have 3 different sizes. 
Who knew Hoola Hoops came in so many different sizes? They are all different thickness's too!

COVERING THE HOOP

Covering the largest hoop at the moment, for the large blue flower.

I'm over half way with about 5'  3" / 160cm and have almost used a 
full 100g of dk cotton yarn with a 10st strip.

It's going to be 8' 4" [100"/254cm] long. To go all the way around the hoop, you'd never guess a large hoop could be that long would you?

BAG: Flower decoration and a bit of recycling...

To decorate or not?...never really sure.
