Knitting and Crochet Advent Calendars—Are You Buying One?

Yeah, that’s true—time flew by soooo fast. And I’ve been “on the edge of my seat” with you every day, wondering what’s inside the bags. 

Yes, I’m going to miss the little bags a lot, too!

Today I got 50 g of bright salmon pink yarn and another set of safety eyes. There were so many different and very special ones—I think I can now recreate any living creature! 😂

And the Grinsequalle is finally finished:

I’ve now started on the last little animal from the St. Nicholas bag, but there are still a few more waiting in the queue, so I’ll have plenty to keep me busy even after Christmas—soooo great!

That’s really great.
Once all the doors are open, could you take another photo showing all the skeins and projects together?

Yeah, I should be able to manage that.

nice

But that’s going to be a “huge” photo....
I’m already looking forward to the next Advent season 🙈😍🙈

Well, veronika-t15 can also split this up into several summary photos if necessary. 

Now the last bag has been unwrapped! Merry Christmas to you all!

It contained 150 g of really great cotton yarn—of course, again with a suggestion for what it could be used for—plus a lovely bag and a very sweet greeting card:

Here’s the print on the bag again. It’s a perfect fit!

So, there it was—the LaCritza Advent calendar. I haven’t crocheted all the animals yet; I’m currently working on the third one from the St. Nicholas bag, so it gets to be in the photo too, but I’ll finish up the rest as well.
Looking at it now—so many things, that huge amount of cotton in such great colors—my goodness, what a wonderful Advent it was!

Thanks for the photos.
Wow. That’s really a lot, and you had fun with it. 
So it was worth it?
Will you do it again next year?

I’ve mostly just been quietly following along, so I have to say, it’s really worth it—there are gorgeous colors in there, and you’ve already made such cute little animals, Veronika. I’ve added this to my list for next Advent season.
And reading this, it looks like LaCritza will have her hands full with wrapping next year.
Well, I’d like to wish everyone a Happy New Year in advance—we still have a birthday to celebrate before New Year’s Eve, so there are still some preparations to be made. 

Yes, I’ll definitely get one again—it was soooo nice.

And the next little creature is finished—a grinning kitty!

You’re really hard at work.

It’s going okay—I’m just having fun with it, and that makes everything go faster.

For the Grinsebärchen, there was yarn in the calendar twice—once this one:

And one in light gray. But since I’d had a pattern for a little gray bear sitting in my downloads for ages, I used that instead of making a second grinning bear.

They both turned out great.
You’re really fast.

Now the Grinning Frog is finished, too.

To be honest, Veronika, I had so much fun looking at your LaCritza figures. It’s amazing what was all in there (your full photo).
All these figures look so cute, and they make me want to try making them myself.

Thank you so much for sharing. It was really fun.

Hugs, Andrea
