PRINTABLE PDF CALENDAR – £3.00 (approx. $5)
(also available for purchase on Etsy)
Colourwork inspiration every month… forever. Sound good? This is a PDF calendar which you can print out again and again, for yourself or as gifts. Each page has a colourwork panel that you can colour in however you like. I’m not exaggerating when I say the possibilities are endless!
You can then use your designs in your knitting. Setting the motifs into mittens, hats or scarves is particularly easy and I’ll have a post up later this week that shows you how.
I’ve crammed as many different motifs in as possible, so you can use them in your knits in many different combinations. There’s a range of modern (skulls, owls, etc.) and traditional (scandinavian, shetland, andean and anatolian) designs, and if you include the front and back covers, there are 14 panels in total.
Things I ♥
- Colouring in! I’d forgotten how much fun it is. And these little Bic pencils are the cutest.
- No need to worry about “messing up”. Just print out another copy.
- Checkboxes! Each day has a corresponding checkbox so you can mark off days, or record streaks. For example, aim to knit every day for a month!
- When the month is over, you can cut out & stick your design in your knitting notebook.
What to Do
Once you download your PDF, you’ll need to open it in Adobe Reader (or Preview on a Mac) and print whichever pages you’d like. Then you simply cut along the lines. If you’d like to punch a hole in the top to hang it, just don’t cut along the top and you should have plenty of room. A paper guillotine would help, but I just used scissors. You can peg your calendar page to a ribbon, tack it to a corkboard, or attach it to your fridge with a magnet. :)
Bonus
Your PDF also includes 2 printable To-Do List Cards with dates, checkboxes, and, of course, designs that you can colour in.
win!
As I mentioned in the last post, I’ll be picking two random members of the Laylock Designs Group to win a free calendar every week until the end of the year. I’ll announce the winners on this thread, so I don’t need to blog about it every time. The first winner, as determined by random.org and the Ravelry member list is…
#14 – carrotmusic!
Congratulations! :)
Have a wonderful week (& month) everyone!

Thank you. Short rows and colorwork have been two of the knitting techniques that I’ve avoided. Now, with the calendar, I’ll become a convert and fall in love with colorwork like several of my fellow guild members.
