How I made my own DIY Scrappy Yarn Advent Calendar | An Italian Knitter

[@cearamichalowske]

Whoever receives your box is going to be so thrilled! I love that you took the time to match the tea bags to the yarn, that's such a nice touch.

[@ShanaH414]

Matching the tea bags to the yarn is exactly my kind of crazy. :)

What a lovely advent and special gift for a knitter!

[@YalaHernandez]

Bello regalo !! 🎁 super creativo!!!🎉🎉

[@MikiCrespo]

Amazing idea🧶🍫🍭

[@braindrain27]

Such a good idea. A nice gift for another person or yourself, use what you have, make it cosy ❤ I will do this for me cause I‘m stash busting. I‘m going for a shawl out of sock yarn scraps

[@ChibiChidorii]

I think it could also be a cool idea if you have a friend who wants to learn to knit/crochet but is very beginner, you could include some scrap yarn pattern or do a knit along with them ❤️❤️❤️

Love you and your matching teabags 🌈

[@deekay1641]

How thoughtful of you. Thank you for all the ideas.

[@craftingkirsty]

Fab video as always 😊

[@Top-g919]

Fabulous, I will certainly try this idea next year. ❤

[@ruthmcniff4765]

So thoughtful and lovely!

[@lindarogers3608]

How lovely!

[@veroniqueMTL]

Great idea! Thank you for sharing it ❤

[@trudydelich2920]

So fun! Thank you,

[@noramcdonald2669]

I would love to receive your advent calendar😍 I don’t think I have yarn info for my leftovers. Maybe now I will hang on to the label with my leftover yarn. Lesson learned!

[@kukieknits]

Not me watching this the evening of making and ordering an advent calendar for myself outta Holst Garn! We are so on the same page!! And the same blanket pattern too 😂

[@ThePineCottage]

What a gorgeous collection you curated! ❤ I hope to do a swap like this next year!

[@lorieast5347]

What fun!! I love hearing your thoughts about why you chose some things and what your process was putting it all together. That makes it even more special. Next year, I want to do this.

[@tacistudio]

Such a good idea. I’m making one to exchange with a friend this year 😍

[@kathyscott3683]

Thank you, Francesca, what a great idea, my husband said he would like to make me one with my scraps, how lovely. I can't wait to see what he comes up with.

Hey. I bought a calendar from snaleyarn to. I had a sad year, i am in griev and make me a present myself. I Love italy and my men loved it to😢. Je passed away and for remembering of loving our time in italy and the beautiful colors from snailyarns, i dit it. That make me a little bit Happy. ❤ greatings from germany.

[@rosamimmino1393]

Lovely idea to make an advent calendar for oneself - and a very good excuse to rummage through my yarn stack (which I love to do -;)

[@NurturingandKnittingPodcast]

Such a great idea. I’d love to have a partner to exchange a diy gift box like yours with next year. Lovely ❤❤❤

[@karenhenderson2624]

Me too. Putting it on my radar for next year.

[@SimpleBegiknits]

Thank you for sharing your process! I was trying to think of how to make my advent swap more special, and I just love the idea of adding the tea bags!

[@dianabloomdesigns]

This was lovely! It makes me want to think of making an advent for myself or a friend.

[@BresKnits]

This is such a cute idea!!!! I wish I had knitting friends near by I could do this with! It is literally as you said a whole some idea!

[@slow_knits]

now I feel so bummed that I didn't participate in Rebecca's swap!!

[@carolynlambert6989]

G’day Francesca, this is exactly what I was looking for and didn’t know it 😂 what a wonderful gift idea for another knitter or crocheter or for just myself ✨✨✨ I’m going to make up a little yarn parcel for a young girl aged 8yrs who has just started knitting. I’m hoping her interest will continue and it’ll encourage her to keep learning and enjoy this beautiful craft. One of my adult grandaughters Ashleigh Jewel is a crocheter and her Mum, my daughter, has taken up both crocheting & knitting this past year so I’ll be sending a knitting parcel their way too. This could be for any occasion or just for no reason at all, love. 💕THANK YOU so happy am going to go and start winding 🧶 🧶 🧶 🧶
