There’s something about Christmas that just takes us back to childhood, isn’t there? Maybe it’s the seasonal sights and scents that seem to zap us back in time, or maybe it has something to do with returning to our childhood homes and spending time with extended family. I say — why wait until December to experience all the fun and festivities? Let’s have Christmas in July!
My wish for each of you is that you find some time all year long to recapture the wonder you felt at the holidays as a child, and to enjoy every season to the fullest.
That’s why I’m bringing you a “Christmas In July” version of my Fairy Tale Knits yarn Advent calendar. This Advent-style knitting kit is the perfect reminder to take some time to do something you LOVE, every day. Unwrap some fun every day for 25 days in a row with this exclusive kit designed for adventurous knitters and crocheters!
The theme of this year’s Christmas in July Advent calendar is Saturday Morning Cartoons. Revisit all your favorites in this bright, whimsical collection! Each cartoon-rific colorway is designed to coordinate from one to the next in numerical order, so you’ll be able to pair them up in one giant project, or mix and match in a variety of smaller ones.
The Fairy Tale Knits Yarn Christmas in July Advent Calendar includes:
A full-sized skein of yarn in my Pegasus base (75% Superwash Merino wool/25% nylon, 463 yards per 100 grams). This larger skein will be a tonal colorway, the perfect background to pair with the minis or to use on its own for a special project.
24 individual mini skeins of yarn in the same base (20g or 92 yards each), individually wrapped so that you can open one per day (or night). The minis are all speckle dyed for that extra dash of festive fun. (If you’re counting, that makes it a total of 480 grams of minis!) Each mini skein is inspired by a different cartoon character or show.
The price for each Advent calendar set is $190.
Want more details? I’m not going to spoil the surprise by putting out pictures ahead of time, but here’s a list of the cast of characters you can expect to unwrap each day in your calendar (not necessarily in this order):
