You knit a sweater with one of your advents. I remember seeing you knit on it on vlogmas one year. Loved it. With a black main color I believe. I tend to power through my advents before the next advent arrives, but I do have a past advent that is currently being knit into a Daft days cardigan. Which is why I don't have an advent this year. I don't want them to pile up and stay unfinished. I made a Boxing Day shawl, a fun shawl with lace and brioche sections, a flax and other things I don't remember. Edit to add. I just remember my spinning advent. I spun 23 days of it, but the knitting of it has been in progress for years 😂 it might never get done.
I have several ghosts of advents past. I pulled out my 2020 project & hope to finish it this year. Fingers crossed. ETA it’s the dust of snow wrap by curious handmade & super squishy & cozy.
The small amount I've spun I tend to knit hats or socks with it! But I tend to make it more for socks. I have two skeins I've not used yet actually that are mostly silky bases so I'm scared to use them and the colours are gorgeous! Maybe I should make a top for the summer... 🤔 What kind of hand spun are you talking about? Show and Tell maybe?? 🤗
Came to the comments to ask the same question, the vest looks lovely! Might have to dig around in stash and make one for myself (and if he's lucky, the hubs too).... when all the last minute gift making is finally done. 😬

Yes I did! I love that sweater! Its the Shady Side by Samantha Guerin
Spinning an advent and knitting an advent are two different advents haha

Did you knit your vest, if so which pattern did you use? Love it to bits, and I need more vesty action in my life.
I did! Its the High Tide Shell by Lindsey Fowler! Worsted weight and a DREAM to make. I made Jake one too
