It’s DECEMBER on Monday 😳?!? Do you have a yarn advent calendar this year? 🎄🎁

In celebration, show me your MINIS, GRADIENTS, things knit w/minis, gradients, etc…🧶

I had one from Fibre Fox in 2021 & Skein Queen in 2023. Be Kind Rewind shawl & Sugar Pop Wrap from the former. #ShowMeYourKnits
A grey triangular garter stitch shawl hangs on a brown fence on a sunny day. It has wide stripes in a gradient from blue to pinky-purple variegated yarn. An oaty brown rectangular garter stitch shawl hangs on a brown wooden fence. It has wide lace stripes with decorative borders in a gradient from cream through pinky-orange to brown variegated yarn.

Advent #knitting continues 🎄…I’m doing my Stripy Advent Socks in the morning & rows on my Assana shawl in the evening! This was my Xmas Day 2024 cast on 😬! 8 rows/day gets me finished by Xmas Eve 2025! Although I’m at the decrease stage, so rows are going faster 💨, maybe I’ll finish early? 🧶
In progress long rectangular hand knit shawl with one pointed end. It has a small burgundy garter stitch lace section among a white and variegated blue striped section, then a larger lace section. It will end with a smaller striped section. It’s unblocked so the lace is hard to see and the colours in the stripes aren’t clear at this distance.

WHEW! Where has the time gone?

It's December and I think this December, we're going to do things a little different. No I didn't dye an advent, however i've got a whole 25 days of fun, interesting and down right delectable things to share with you!

A new, free pattern on the blog! If you'd like to learn to knit socks but are intimidated by fiddly little needles and very fine yarn, this pattern for worsted-weight socks will help you build skills without the faff. www.abeeinthebonnet.com/blog/worsted...
Basic Worsted Sock Knitting Pattern - A Bee In The Bonnet
Sometimes it's easier to learn a knitting technique with thicker yarn. Knitting a worsted sock is a great way to learn to knit socks.

I don’t have a yarn advent calendar this year…but I do have Advent Sock Yarn 🧶 🧦🎄! 24 self-striping, well, stripes from @nicolecmendez.bsky.social! I’m doing both socks at the same time (but not TaaT). Yarn wound and contrast cuffs ready to go for the 1st 🎁! #knitting
An advertisement for self-striping sock yarn for advent. It’s a drawing of a sock with 24 stripes. Two off-white hand knit sock cuffs in 2x2 ribbing on circular knitting needles. A red satin bag next to them contains mystery stripey advent yarn that will be used to knit the socks.

Sugar Pop by Lisa K. Ross was my December 2022 advent knit, using 2021’s Fibre Fox 🦊 advent calendar minis. Wanted to pair sparkly minis with earthy woolly brown. Of course I didn’t finish it till at least 6 months later (b/c December 😵‍💫). And knit it on the wrong size needle 🙃. #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶
A box of festively wrapped and numbered little packages. They contain yarn minis, but you can’t tell that from here. 9 skeins of sparkly, variegated yarn in a gradient from green, through blue, yellow, brown, and pink. One has been wound in to a ball. The small triangle start of a hand knit shawl in brown garter stitch. The yarn minis to be used for the colour stripes are shown above it, some having been wound into balls. A little advent chocolate is also pictured. The brown and striped hand knit shawl, with much more actually knit. Three lace stripes are visible, along with the unknit and leftover yarns.

I use Amazon for everyday things because of my disabilities. But for my yarn and bespoke things I do my best to stick to individual artists, preferably women, and/or minorities. On Black Friday celebrate businesses owned by Black women, like this fabulous one!!
