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.. 



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

CROCHET AND TECHNOLOGY.

How Technology can help with design...I should be doing other things, but they aren't as much fun so sharing a few new Tartan and Checks for the Cal to come this week...
Just a little playtime, the one round granny squares aren't joined for these picture.  t
They will be when i decide on the final blocks, but just so you can see whats possible with these little gems...

A slightly more sophisticated check/tartan with this collection of mini squares 


checks or stripe combo's can be achieved with the one round granny square 


still like little pennies, but they will be joined at each corner when the final block is decided on..enjoy
