What to make with your advent yarn

[@KnittingsAndSewings]

FIrst time finding your vlog. Your "advent fade" sweater from last year is amazing! How beautiful. I like your more affordable approach though. You have some great ideas and wonderful projects.

Love the faded jumper. Could you please explain how to knit 2 scrappy socks at the same time from the cuff downwards to the toe?

[@NewLeafDesigns]

Thank you! I currently have no plans for the tutorial you are requesting 😊

Great video!! I love your spector sweater! So much so that I think I'll make it with my advent set. I found your project on ravelry, but didn't see any notes on how you changed between each color. Was there a specific way you decided how many rows you knit for each mini? Thank you!

[@NewLeafDesigns]

Ooh so fun! Yes, I did have a method, now to think what it was.. I think I calculated the number of total rows for the sweater body (with help of the final measurements in the schematic, and my own gauge), then divided between the number of advent minis I had. There's a bit more fiddling involved to incorporate the fading (1 row of B, 2 rows of A, 1 row B, 1 row A, etc) but I'm sure you'll figure that out :)

Yay! This video gave me a smile, your energy is always infectious :) I think I'm going to make scrappy stripe socks with my first yarn advent!!

[@NewLeafDesigns]

Thank you so much! Haha, I was so excited to open up my first advent lol. Have fun making those scrappy socks! x

Jouw idee was zo leuk! Geniet er echt elke dag van 😀 het zou leuk zijn als je het volgend jaar weer zou organiseren, want het is zo ontzettend genieten en leuk contact met de swapmaatjes.

Such a great idea about exchanging advents, I bought myself a cheese advent calendar on Dec 1for half price. They can be expensive.

[@NewLeafDesigns]

They really are expensive! And, I mean, not to discredit the work that goes into them, but this year I just thought I'd DIY 😅
