This morning I spent a couple hours doing the final bit of seaming, and finally finished the things I’ve been working on for the past week: a small flock of Emotional Support Chickens.
The in-laws do stocking stuff exchanges every year, and this year I decided that, due to the absolute clusterfuck of the incoming administration, everyone could use a little bit of extra comfort.
The pattern calls for worsted weight (which produces a chicken the size of the brown one at the back of the flock above), but for these, I used fingering weight. These all came from 3 balls of KnitPicks Chroma, which has built-in color changes that make these even more fun.
I’m not yet done making chickens, but at least all the ones I needed for today were done in time (and bonus, at this point I pretty much have the pattern memorized now, which makes working on the remaining chickens even quicker and easier.

It’s a little sad that the very last puzzle in this advent calendar is of the elves completely destroying this poor family’s Lego brick Christmas tree, but I suppose that was really the whole point of the theme anyway.
I’m definitely going to miss having one of these silly pictures to look forward to every morning, but hopefully they will have a different calendar next year, since I would happily make this an annual tradition.
‘Tis the season for Holidailies.
I really enjoyed your advent puzzles! Considering getting my own sometime, though yours were the best.
