May be Christmas?

It's only the third of May - why am I thinking about Christmas already? Well, I bought a Christmas advent panel. 24 little pockets to fill and have delivered before 1st December. In reality, before mid-November, my usual trip to London for the Knitting History Forum, so it's only six months. The basic calendar has been put together - but oh, those pockets are so tiny! It's going to be quite a challenge to find items small enough. I am cheating on some red and white items, but reversing the colours. They've also got to be recognisable - some patterns are so tiny they are just blobs. Off on usual French holidays soon - whether I do any Christmas knitting there is doubtful. I have got the patchwork dog to take to the Club, to keep in with their theme. The weather here the last week has been cold enough for snow - and we got it. Better improve over there!
