I purchased a Craftvent set from Jimmy Beans Wool again this year. This is the fifth year I have done this, although I have only knit three of the projects. I went a little Advent kit crazy this year. Along with the past kits that I’ve bought that I haven’t knit up yet I think I can do a year of Advent, which is what I may do in 2021. I haven’t even opened all of the Advent kits that I bought this year. For some reason I decided to open this one, but obviously I did not abide by the open one a day rule. I started this on December 3 and finished it on December 12. I don’t feel bad about spoiling the mystery, as Jimmy Bean posts pictures of the finished project on their product page. I think they learned one year that not everyone likes surprises. This was an interesting knit. The texture is a bit different because you have lace sections that are separated by slip stitch and fisherman’s rib. I wasn’t sure how it was going to block out when I was working it, but am pleased with the result. I couldn’t stretch the lace out as much as I normally would, but it still looks good.
