Hey knitting friend,
I've been thinking about you a lot lately. How can I better serve and support you? What's helpful? What isn't?
On social media, I saw a ton of yarn dyers and other small makers who offer knitting yarns and notions already putting a pre-order on their advent calendar. While I understand that for yarn dyers there's a huge time commitment required, don't think this would apply to stitch markers and notions. So I wanted your input: Would you want to pre-order your advent calendar right away: earlier than September?
Last year, the first advent calendar listing released in October, and yes, they sold out! So this year, there will be more quantities of these available, but the pre-sale won't open before fall. Let us enjoy the nice weather (if you're in the upper hemisphere) before thinking about the Holidays. What do you think?
But just keep in the back of your mind that I will be offering them again. Whether I will hand sew all the project bags or not remains to be seen, although there's a high chance that I'll do it again this year, because it's fun!
Here are pictures of some of last year's advent calendars:
Last year's mini-advents were also so much fun to pack! They may come back this holiday season too.
In the meantime, if you're feeling low and need a pick me up, I recommend getting the Mystery Stitch Markers Pack, of the Knitters Delight Bundle. Lots of fun surprises in these!
