How To Open the Advent

Starting December 1st you’ll open the yarn marked according to the day of the month.  Start with Day 1 and work your way, each day, to Day 24  The 100g skein is listed as Christmas Day: however, I’ll be opening mine on Dec 1st.  You can too!

We will be knitting all month long.  I’m a slow knitter, so don’t worry if you are a slow knitter too!
