Christmas is slowly creeping up on us, only just over 11 weeks away, so now is the perfect time to start getting prepared.

Makower have released a lovely new range of Advent calendar and Stocking panels.

From the Adorn collection, an easy-to-sew fold-pocket Advent, decorated with Christmas trees in traditional Christmas colours, plus a splash of gold metallic.

From the Country Christmas collection, a beautiful Advent panel featuring woodland creatures in a house and woodland scene. Also available from this collection is a stocking panel with similar wintery scenes.

Finally, from the Nutcracker collection, an advent panel featuring the titular character from the well-known story, as well as fairies and rat kings.

Come in store to take a look at them, plus all the others we still have from previous years.

Edit: as there have been a few responses to this post, if you intend to come along, can you let us know, as we are limited on space!! Thanks!

We run a Crochet Class every Wednesday morning, from 10-11/11:30, at £10ph.
It is not a set class, in that you choose what you'd like to make, but there is a teacher on hand to help with any unknown stitches and pattern reading.
It is for any level of experience, whether you're an absolute beginner and you've never picked up a crochet hook, or you're more of an intermediate level and can do all the stitches, but you get stuck on more complex stitches or struggle to read patterns.
No need to book, just turn up.
Don't worry if you haven't got any crochet supplies! All of that can be purchased in store, including hooks, yarn, patterns and other little accessories.
