Advent calendars originated in 19th century Germany as a way to mark off the days until Christmas and modern versions involve opening a gift each day for 12, 24 or 25 days. I’m not sure who created the first yarn advent calendar but they were a genius – what could be better than opening up a yarn present each day?
Instead of adding your to your yarn stash with an advent calendar, why not make your own? It’s a great way to be reacquainted with your carefully collected skeins and balls, as well as providing motivation to make something beautiful with them at the same time.
Making your own yarn advent calendar is all about using what you have, and with a little bit of creative thinking, you can make one with things already in your home.
I hope you love making your very own Yarn Advent Calendar, and I hope it gives the motivation to make something beautiful at the same time!
With love, Lynda.
