Wools Stats and Projects for November - And A Word about Advents

Well this isn't too bad. I actually got a decent amount of knitting done this month and I also sold some of my 4 ply. The result was that 1803g went out of stash. Hooray! 

However, with the money from some of my sales I bought 1000g of Stylecraft Special DK so that I could make blanket squares for Woolly Hugs, a charity that donates mainly blankets, to various good causes such as children in care, refugees, old folk etc. Plus there was that 150g that I bought in Chambery. But there was still a net decrease of 653g in the month and the net reduction for the year is 7422g. I suspect December will make a mockery of that number, but we'll see. 

Meanwhile here is what I made this month

first up a cross stitch decoration for son no 2's tree, very Scandi

I didn't just buy the wool, I  actually did make  some squares for Woolly Hugs. One  12" granny square from each of the ten colours I bought. They specify what colours to use for some of their projects.

 

And after that it was all about the socks; two pairs from the Colours of Australia yarn I bought last month

one pair made from some Halloween themed yarn from Giddy Knits

I made so many mistakes knitting these I'm never using Halloween themed yarn again, it obviously carries a jinx

And last but not least Christmas Socks for the OH made as always from West Yorkshire Spinners Signature Christmas Colourway. This year it's called Yuletide and I think it may be my favourite. I just love those narrow dark green stripes. 

I will be sharing my advents as I open them, but as 24 photos of a tea light, a small jam jar and a 10g mini skein of yarn might start to get just a tad repetitive, I will be blogging about other things as well through December.
