I absolutely adore the Karen Adams calendars.  I've used one for the past several years after receiving my first one from my friend, Kathleen.  The first one came as a set with the easel.  You then can purchase refills every year.  

The artwork on each month is just that... pure, beautiful art.  I think they are worth every penny.

However, this year,  I decided to save some of my pennies and make my own using none other than knitting for my inspiration.  

I used a template that I created years ago, but it's fairly simple to do on your own.  And printed them on white card stock.
