This is the installment plan option; you'll be charged the amount shown four times in total, on the same day every month.
This year's new Catvent Pattern is the Catmiration Shawl. It's got subtly-catty gentle lace and texture, will be loads of fun to knit, and you can wear it as a floaty shawl or an epic wraparound scarf or just let your cat nest into it. (They deserve it.)
The kit contains;
- 25 mini-skeins. Each skein will be labelled and wrapped. 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.
- 1 x 100gr contrast skeins - in soft grey.
- the wrap pattern, plus a second scrap-friendly pattern of your choice
- plus little crafty extras scattered throughout the calendar, including an extra-special extra for Christmas day.
Advent information, including details on customs and taxes for EU and US customers, is available here.
Yarn options
Wool yarns
4-ply wool - this is a springy, bouncy, sturdy wool with a bit of crunch and character. (80m in each 20g skein)
4-ply sleek merino (organic) - this is a smooth, sleek merino with a gentle shine and a bit of drape. (80m in each 20g skein)
Non-wool yarns
Alpaca/silk/cashmere - new this year! - utterly lush, soft yarn with a gentle halo. (80m in each 20g skein)
Camel silk - as soft as buttery kitten-bellies, and glows like moonlight. (80m in each 20g skein)
Colours
This year we're burrowing into the fallen leaves, admiring the glistening frost, tiptoeing past the hibernators and keeping our eyes peeled for the first hint of spring. It's Cats In The Winter Garden!
Expect soft ochres and sages, heathery purples, faded rose and icy blues, with a mixture of semi-solid and some very subtle variegation. You'll unwrap a slowly-emerging rainbow.
The yarn shown isn't the yarn that will be in the calendar - that would ruin the surprise. It's the last several 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, expect soft shades and garden creatures as well as - of course! - plenty of cats.
If you add the stitchmarker calendar I'll be in touch nearer the time to check which style of markers you'd like.
