Kaleidocatty!
Curl up under the Kaleidocatty Blanket. (Cats love a woolly-wool lap-blanket.) It's a modular hexagonal colourwork blanket - but it can be assembled as a wrap, scarf, a bag or a scattering of tiny cushions instead. It's a lot of fun to knit!
The kit contains;
- 25 mini-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 x 100gr skeins - two in white for the colourwork, and two in a coordinating mid-grey for the border.
- 2 mini-skeins so that you can get swatching ahead of time.
- the Kaleidocatty 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.
Yarn
DK wool - a springy, bouncy, sturdy wool with a bit of crunch and character. (40m in each 20g skein)
DK merino (organic) - a soft merino yarn with a lovely drape. (45m in each 20g skein)
The wool yarns are pictured in a little lineup. They're ordered, left to right, as;
- DK wool
- 4ply wool
- DK merino
- Bounce merino
- Sleek merino
Colours
We're going full whimsy this year, with a bright-pastel unicorn-coloured rainbow, and a soft grey contrast for the border.
The yarn shown isn't the yarn that will be in the calendar - that would ruin the surprise. The yarn circle is last year's Carnival colourway, and the yarn lineup is the Unicorn yarn I dyed for sweater kits, and which made me desperate to dye a perfect unicorn rainbow.
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 Mewnicorns & Caticorns - all things bright and sparkly.
All advents will be sent using a tracked service. Calendars will be dispatched in plenty of time to reach you before December the 1st. I'll be in touch in September to check for address updates, and with full details about when and how they're being posted out.
