Maybe I could go for a cowl in broken seed stitch with sockyarn doubled???Domics Pinnwandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210186916714388948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323233517176111261.post-47632045987914584662018-09-24T13:43:54.516+02:002018-09-24T13:43:54.516+02:00Sorry, I don’t have any specific Advent project su...Sorry, I don’t have any specific Advent project suggestions to offer but I do like to use sock yarn scraps in lengthwise linen stitch scarves. I’ve made a few - they are so bright and colourful! And they’re very popular... every time I knit one somebody begs for it straight off my neck!<br /><br />I like the Advent themed sock KAL idea.

I made them a priority now and stopped knitting on the Breathing Space, but they take longer than you may think. I need about 2 hours per sock which is about a third of the time I would need for a regular woman's sock.Domics Pinnwandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210186916714388948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323233517176111261.post-59758730283620736902018-09-24T09:51:23.886+02:002018-09-24T09:51:23.886+02:00Oh, I love the idea of the Santa Hats!

I am not sure about that Finnish sock thingie - I think it was in English but also could be that it was in Finnish and I used the translation function. I might bring up the advent calendar topic with my local knitting group, maybe we can organize a swap of leftovers, thanks for the inspirationDomics Pinnwandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210186916714388948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323233517176111261.post-41489750925891352892018-09-23T22:45:43.079+02:002018-09-23T22:45:43.079+02:00I'm of no help in the idea department, but I l...I'm of no help in the idea department, but I love your Christmas hearts - and that you gave them out through the year after Christmas. So fun! For everyone. I love the idea of advent knitting (or crocheting) but I know me and I know I'd fall behind and my grand plan would soon just be like any other project I start. I finish it when I finish it. You've given me some ideas, though, and I thank you for that. Happy knitting on those 24 little socks. They are adorable!Beckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940604077427078249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323233517176111261.post-35856068279292186022018-09-23T21:29:44.248+02:002018-09-23T21:29:44.248+02:00I have no idea for your advent knitting.

I need to get started on those soon so they can have them for their tree.<br /><br />Your hearts are precious. I might have to add those to the ornament list for one of the coming years.Leftycrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607852055622555069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323233517176111261.post-33749659948722281302018-09-23T20:12:24.936+02:002018-09-23T20:12:24.936+02:00I have a list of 24 advent knits on my year of pro...I have a list of 24 advent knits on my year of projects list but I haven't started any yet! eek....I better get going as I only have a little over two months to be done.Yours are lovely.

In the ...The hearts are cute and make a great idea. In the past I've knit 24 little mittens which I put a treat in for the children to have each day of advent but they make a really pretty garland decoration. I've also begun some little mini jumpers which I'm hanging on the tree with little wire hangers. The little mini jumpers can be personalised as well which will make lovely gifts. Lots of choice for mini items to be knit or you could try the advent wrap my Ambah O'Brien which is for little advent yarn calendars or indeed just a selection of scraps from your stash/leftovers. There may also be some new advent themed patterns that will come out nearer to Advent also.Ruth (the-habitual-creative)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09448530532886990917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5323233517176111261.post-87589672087815928112018-09-23T17:32:44.126+02:002018-09-23T17:32:44.126+02:00Love the hearts, but I have no further suggestions...Love the hearts, but I have no further suggestions I'm afraid. I really enjoyed the land of sweets cowl and I love the scrappy crochet blankets, but they are not really an advent thing. I'm knitting little socks but you are much further along than me.
