This 24 color mystery skein is a lovely way to count down days until a special event.
This year's color story theme is Exploring the PNW and will not be traditional Christmas colors. You could count down to a holiday like Christmas or Hanukkah. Or you might choose to count down to the Solstice, the New Year, or your birthday!
Whatever day you choose to count down to, start working a stripe a day 24 days before that date.
Here's what I'm doing to ensure that your Advent is truly a surprise. You will receive two identical 50 gram skeins, already caked up and hidden inside a canvas bag. The two strings from the center pull balls will be peeking just outside the top of the bag so that you can cast on without ever looking inside! As always, there will be a thin stripe between each color to let you know to stop knitting for the day if you don't want to see the next color.
Keep in mind that if you choose to knit a stripe a day, you may not finish your project within 24 days! For instance, if you are counting down to Christmas and you decide to make socks, beginning December 1 you could knit one stripe a day until Christmas Eve without repeating any colors, but you might not be finished with your socks! If you would like to finish your socks for Christmas Day you may choose to knit 2-3 stripes a day, depending on the size being made, gauge, etc.
Advents are available on my sw Corriedale Fingering and High Twist DK bases. Each Advent will include a coordinating mini skein that is the same color as the "in-between stripe" - 20 grams fingering and 40 grams for DK.
If you plan to order multiple advents: Please note that each order produces one shipping label. I am able to combine two advents into one package going to the same address. More than two will require a separate order. Thank you so much for your understanding. If you have questions, please send me an email, I'm happy to help.
For International Customers: All orders will be shipped via USPS. Please refer to the Post Office list of International Mail Suspensions to see if service is available in your area. I do not collect any duties/tariffs/taxes, only shipping fees.
Advent Preorders will ship by September, 2025.
