And the Winner is..........

Autonomous Artisans, with her comment left on Day 8 of my Handmade Christmas Advent Calender. I have notified her, and will sent the goodies out as soon as I receive address details. Thanks for all your comments, I enjoyed reading them.

What's happened to days 14 onwards you ask? Well, Like most of you, I've been taken over by work, school plays, dance shows, housework and let's not forget Christmas......

Once I've knitted up a couple of items that I promised I would make for people for Christmas gifts, I'll continue with the Handmade Advent.

A merry christmas to you all, hope things aren't too frantic!!

Day 13 Handmade Christmas Advent

Christmas tree bears by little cotton rabbits. I had to include something from Julie at Little Cotton Rabbits. I love her blog and admire both Julie and her work. Her little cotton rabbits are completely amazing, perhaps one day I'll get to her etsy shop here in time to buy one. Have a read of Julie's blog here. It's really inspiring and one of the best blogs I've read. Thanks Julie for sharing your patterns. I've made some people very happy with these itsy bitsy bunnies.

Day 8 Handmade Christmas Advent

Hand Knit Chunky Green Neckwarmer by Tomato Tea on Coriandr

This super chunky and soft neck warmer was hand knitted with a 100% acrylic yarn in a beautiful and unusual stitch to give it an interesting texture. My favourite colour too!!

The nature of the stitch makes the yarn extra thick, so it will keep its wearer toasty warm and because it is acrylic and not wool it is super soft and not itchy. The neck warmer is embellished with two wooden buttons which slip in between the stitches so the wearer can button the neck warmer up as they like. See Tomato Tea's Coriandr shop here and read her fab blog here.
