December and Advent are coming soon. In the knitting community on social media, it is time for many Christmas knitalongs and mystery knits. I had no intention of joining any of them. But suddenly I was involved in two knitalongs, and had signed up for two more which will start later. Then I wanted to sew myself some Christmas/winter project bags. I looked in my fabric shelf and found treasures I had forgotten. About 10 years ago I bought some fabrics from the US online on sale. At that time it didn't cost too much in postage, and it actually paid off compared to Norwegian fabric prices. These fabrics were perfect for project bags. They are different on the front and back, so here are pictures of them on both sides.
The first I joined was FørjulsSnadder knitalong on Kule Julesokker. It is a mystery knit from BeasStrikkedesign that runs in November. They have found their place in this knitting bag and are ready for the next part of the pattern.
Så ble jeg med på Abbaknit Designs julesamstrikk. Der kan en strikke så mange en vil av hennes småstrikk mønstre. Noen av mønstrene hennes var strikket med Drops Air. Jeg hadde noen nøster Drops Air liggende som jeg gjerne skulle brukt opp, så da passet det bra å bli med der. Jeg har strikket to Airy fletteluer og en Airy flettehals . Jeg har enda et nøste, så kanskje det blir mer.
Then I joined Abbaknit Design's Christmas knitalong. There you can knit as many of her accesoare patterns as you want to. Some of her patterns were knitted with Drops Air. I had a few skeins of Drops Air in my stash that I would like to use , so it was a good idea to join in there. I have knitted two Airy braided hats and an Airy braided neck. I have one more skein, so maybe there will be more.The first mitten mystery knitalong I signed up for was Vinterflora mittens by Vivian Aas. It begins on November 19. The yarn is ready with one of the new project bags.
Den andre vottesamstrikken er fra Torirot design og heter Julevotten 2023. Den begynner 1. desember.
The second mystery mitten knitalong is from Torirot design and is called Julevotten 2023. It starts on 1 December.
Wow, you really have your work cut out for you! Your project bags are darling and I just LOVE those mittens!
SvarSlettI must knit some fun mittens for my 2 year old granddaughter. Her mummy got her a pair last week and she is fascinated by the idea of keeping her fingers warm inside them!
SvarSlettDu sydde flotte vesker Marit og strikket nydelig. Posene er veldig gøy med de morsomme mønstrene.
SvarSlettFint strikkemønster fra Abbaknit, jeg liker flettet :-))
Jeg ønsker deg mye moro med strikkemysterier... "Vinterfloravotter" starter på søndag og så Torirot i begynnelsen av desember.
På Torirot - strikker sammen - jeg strikket "The Secret Garden" og "Soria Moria". Dette er veldig gøy :-)))
Jeg ser frem til å se arbeidet ditt.
Jeg sender deg mange glad hilsener. Viola
So many lovely projects for winter knitting. I like the bags you've made and the mittens too.

The mittens pattern and colours are very nice and the bags are cute. You have now many projects !
SvarSlettWow, saa flink du er
SvarSlettTakk! Du står som anonym, vil gjerne vite navnet ditt :)
SlettI admire your organization for projects! Yarn organizing has not been my best trait. Now fabric, that's another thing :) I guess it's all in priorities. lol
SvarSlettHei Marit. Ser du har vintervær der du er også. Her melder det også mildvær til helga så det kan bli ei supeglatt jul hi hi. Veldig fine juleposer du har sydd, så artig å finne stoffer en har glømt, Hender jeg også får en overraskelse når jeg åpner boksene mine. I kveld baker jeg julebrød med masse rosiner, nydelig med brunost. Må nevne julesokkene også, veldig flotte. Ha en fin førjulstid, stor klæm fra Helgeland.
