Lace Bits: Advent Calendar

 

Jean Leader writes: Once again David and I have produced a Lace Advent Calendar which you can

find

on my website:

https://www.jeanleader.net/calendar/index.html

<https://www.jeanleader.net/calendar/index.html>

For anyone not familiar with it, starting from December 1st there is a window

that can be opened with a new lace picture every day, patterns on two of the

days (they have different coloured numbers), and a competition that you can

complete when all of the days with clues have been revealed.

Spread the word and have fun
