Because I did post this earlier when I was working on it, I did finish my Advent Scarf on the 24th.
I really enjoyed working on this and learned alot but I don't think I would do one of these again. It is a huge commitment for the month of December. I am happy with how it turned out (about 88" long) and wore it for Christmas...very warm!
I am going to continue my tradition of starting a new project on New Year's Day. I have chosen Carriage House Samplings Alphabet Blocks. Here is my tea-dyed linen and threads. I am undecided about the solid stitches that surrounds the names. I was going to go with all one color, the one on the bottom, but I'm now wondering if I should make them different colors, using 5-6 different ones.
I am really excited to start this. It should be fun. I plan on stitching 2-3 squares a month.
No big plans for tonight. I am still fighting this cold...day 5. However, I think I do feel better today.
I wish you all a safe and Happy New Year!

Hi Jill, it´s worth the time, the scarf is beautiful...I knitted one through last year because Xmas time isn´t that good for me, I have to finish several gifts so I have no free time to knit an extra for me;-)))
Happy new year,
Gaby
