I’m not sure it’s doable, knitting a mini-mitten every day during the run-up to Christmas, but we’ll see. I’m really looking forward to spending quality time with them and am not going to hurry. If they’re not finished ‘in time’ I’ll just keep knitting on in the New Year.
I read about this Advent Calendar in an e-mail from Rosy Green Wool, a German producer of organic yarns. I’ve subscribed to their newsletters because they are not too frequent and there is usually something interesting in them. Their post about this project can be read here on their website.
Sabine, the author of this ‘Knitting Letter’ as they call it, has knit one for each of her two children, and it’s fun to see them in the un-Christmassy colours she’s chosen, very different from my traditional ones.
Yeah! I hadn’t read this post previously… so I found the link to this pattern!
A girl can dream, can’t she…even though her goals are a bit ambitious!!!!!!!
Ah, you’ve found the pattern. In fact, the mini-mittens aren’t all that much work. I didn’t time myself, but I think that they took me about an hour and 15 minutes each. So if you were to start early in the year and knit a little on them here and there you could easily have them finished before December 1st. Or why not make just a few with the same pattern on both back and front and hang them on your Christmas tree, or tie one on a ribbon to decorate a gift?
