This is the installment plan option; you'll be charged the amount shown four times in total, on the same day every month.
The Catvent Sweater is a top-down, catty-colourwork knit, with drop sleeves and lots of options for customisation.
It comes in seven sizes, to fit chest sizes from 75 - 160cm (allowing for 25cm of positive ease). There are three lengths to choose from and four neckline options.
The kit contains;
- 25 mini-skeins or five 100gr skeins - individually wrapped and labelled. The packaging will all be recyclable, and as minimal as I can make it while still keeping the yarn a secret and the unwrapping fun.
- 4 100gr skeins - two in white for the colourwork, and two in a coordinating grey to work the sleeves & collar.
- the Catvent Sweater pattern
- a second scrap-using pattern of your choice
- plus a few little crafty extras scattered throughout the calendar, including an extra-special extra for Christmas day.
This is the installment-payment calendar. You can find all the single-payment options here.

(45m in each 20g skein, or 225m in each 100gr skein)
DK merino (organic) - a soft merino yarn with a lovely drape.
(45m in each 20g skein, or 225m in each 100gr skein)

Colours
This year we're going dark. The yarn will be a shimmering rainbow of deep, saturated jewel tones, haunted by spooks and ghouls, bats and little black cats, and crushed-velvet 90s-vampire-movie extras.
The yarn shown isn't the yarn that will be in the calendar - that would ruin the surprise. It's the last two years advent dyes.
Extras
Add on a project bag and enamel pin in a new-for-advent catty design, or go for the whole adventstravaganza, and get the stitchmarker calendar as well. This year's theme is A Spooky GothCatvent.
If you add the stitchmarker calendar I'll be in touch nearer the time to check which style of markers you'd like.
