‘Tis the season for Christmas knitting! As I was reading through my blog subscriptions I was inspired by Glenna of Glenna knits to knit an Advent bunting. I had a quick rummage through Ravelry, and came up with this lovely (and free) pattern collection (the author simply asks that you donate to the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation in lieu of buying the pattern). Since I am me, I am making a few tweaks to the designs by switching out some of the ornaments that are not really my style, and I plan to join them all together with a simple crochet chain.
Here are my plans by day (photos courtesy of Frankie Brown):
Day 13, Day 14, Day 15, Day 16
Day 17, Day 18, Day 19, Day 20
Day 21, Day 22, Day 23, Day 24
The last day is Christmas day, when I will assemble all my tiny ornaments into a grand holiday bunting!
The patterns use fingering weight yarn and very small needles. Since they are tiny they only use a little bit of yarn – great for stashbusting and sock yarn scraps.
Would you like to join me on this adventure?
