Have you thought about making your own yarn advent calendar or holiday countdown calendar as a gift for a friend (or for yourself)? In this video I share some tips and ideas on making your own calendar and reminisce about the lovely yarn scraps I came across in my stash from past projects. 

I’ve also made a free PDF ebook guide to walk you through all the steps!
