After the unnecessarily complicated socks I decided to try another toe-up pattern. This one is sooo much quicker and easier. In less than ten days I've produced a whole sock and the second toe. Very pleasing indeed!

Today's #ArtAdventCalendar is a snowperson for day 23. They are wearing a smart purple scarf.

Day 22 of #ArtAdventCalendar brings us a gift, wrapped with a big bow.

It's a snowflake for day 21 #ArtAdventCalender.

Ho Ho Ho! He's getting his sleigh ready for next week. This is Santa.
Another one that makes me chuckle because his smile isn't in the right place, but I don't think he cares.

And day 19 #ArtAdventCalendar is some holly with lovely red berries.

Day 18 (missed a day again, sorry). A rather cheerful gingerbread person whose neck is just a little bit longer than it should be. This is one that makes me chuckle every time I see it. Glad to see this one out on display.

I made this blanket a few years ago. Has a similar vibe. But this was a pattern, not something I made up.

And today we have a Christmas tree.

I still haven't got the actual tree up. It's in the garden, just waiting to be called into action.

Here's one of these that makes me laugh. It's a pair of cosy red mittens (not a pair of boxing gloves, honestly!). Day 14 of #ArtAdventCalendar
December 14, 2024 at 11:26 AM
It's a bauble for day 13 of #ArtAdventCalendar. I still haven't got my tree up yet...

Midway point update. I've been posting one at a time. I thought some people might like to see how they are looking as a group.

Looking forward to filling in the gaps over the coming days.

Day 11, running a day late. It's Rudolph!
December 12, 2024 at 6:47 PM
And here we have them! The socks are done. Thank goodness. They have been a looooong time coming. Now comes any of the other projects I've got lined up for when these are done.

Potato really wants to get on my lap. This is very much the wrong way to try to get there, but at least she's trying!
December 10, 2024 at 4:42 PM
In exciting news. I only have the cuff of my unnecessarily complicated sock to do. #Knitting #Socks
