Notes

Since I started this so late in the game, and I have 2 test knits in progress, I will try to at least knit one sack each night for the girls to open the next day.

Doing a crochet chain because I hate knitting icords.

For the cestari and thicker yarns, casting on only 20 st to get about the same width.

I did everything in worsted but one, so I am thinking about knitting another with 100purewool that I have availabe and ditching the cestari one.

I started by knitting them one by one, but the second half I would knit 2 or 3 at the same time.

Haha, I finished the calendar 2 years exactly to the day I started it :)

I am considering making the last one bigger with scraps of all the others and put a bigger trinket in it.
