Because of lockdown I’ve started much earlier than usual, several things on the go, mostly from Jean Greenhowe’s patterns, since they’re not difficult and always turn out well.
Has anyone else made the Alan Dart Advent Calendar? It’s a Sirdar pattern, I don’t think it’s on his website. I found it rather late last year, only in September, so was frantically knitting to have it ready for 1st December. It’s huge - probably needs to hang on the back of a door, but little Gdcs loved it. A lot of work, but like the JG patterns, it did turn out like the illustration.
If anyone else fancies making one I’d advise starting now!
Here’s mine. Pattern said to knit the ‘ribbon’ but given about a million rows I just stitched on bought ribbon instead.
I’ve previously made 2 of the lovely JG Nativity sets, one for Gdcs and one for their pre school - they also turn out v well if you follow her very detailed instructions exactly.
