    In Czechia we usually take down the chrismas tree on the 6th January, which is known as "The holiday of the three wise men", you know, those guys who went to give presents to baby jesus? At that day there are usually people working for a charity walking outside dressed like the three wise men and raising money for good causes.

    So cool! If you buy more afghans for future projects, keep in mind that sometimes granny squares are joined ‘as you go’, which is fast and easy for construction, but makes for a more complicated deconstruction. My late mom made a granny square afghan that is beautiful. It’s blue, but I don’t use it because it doesn’t go with our decor. But it *is* a color I would wear, so you’ve got me thinking!

I got a thrifted granny square blanket that I want to turn into a sweater and it led me here, even though I was looking for more of a sewing tutorial, so I'm Def gonna take some ideas from here and some from other videos. No one will have the exact blanket so no one will do the exact sweater, but we get ideas from each other. I absolutely love how yours came out. I wanted more of a cardigan but now I'm debating because the collar is so so cute on yours. Great job and thank you for sharing

    Christmastree advice (also goes for wishing others happy new year): You can leave it up until Three Kings Day (6th of january). That's the official last day of appropriately giving new years resolutions as well as having your christmas tree out, it marks the end of that celebratory period. But it's 2022, nothing's conventional so do whatever you please!
