It quite simply made my Christmas

I loved this box and the beautiful handmade supplies. My kids and I made a ritual of opening our advent calendars every morning, and it quite simply made my Christmas. I am so thrilled to have a complete TSS set of row counters and stitch markers, including some smaller chains, and I LOVE the gorgeous, simple jewel-toned charms. The brain pin, and the floral pattern on the bag are not my cup of tea, but the bag is good quality and the perfect size for a sock or hat project. Funny story about the socks: my best friend bought me an identical pair for Christmas and delivered them early, but my daughter (age 7) fell in love with them and I let her take them. When I pulled out the Day 16 box, squishy but too small to be yarn, imagine my delight when a new pair for me appeared! They are not robust socks, but they are whimsical and cozy. Thank you TSS for curating a unique and fun advent box, giving me the gift of quality time with my children, and lovely handmade tools for my knitting. Keep up the good work!

DID NOT DISAPOINT!

This is my first Advent Calendar and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I don’t know how you got the project bag or the skeins of yarn in the small boxes but what a pleasant surprise with each box. I liked each day and will look forward to the next.

My Favorite Advent

This was my favorite advent of this year….and I spoiled myself with a few:). Beautiful tools, particular the scissors, which is a work of art. Happy new year and I’ll be signing up again for next year’s advent.

Such an amazing presentation

I absolutely loved it! It was such an amazing presentation and Every item was unique, useful, and excellent quality. I look forward to 2022’s box and hope there will be another beautiful bag and maybe even a magnifying ruler !

It filled my entire wish list

I loved the 2021 Advent Box! It filled my entire wish list–a complete set of all sizes of row counters/markers, a shortie counter, and a K-I / K-D set. I was very impressed that there were only 2 ‘lighter’ days (the candy and the socks–I loved the candy and the socks will be regifted {that’s ok}). I really would have expected more “filler” but am so glad there wasn’t. Thanks!

I squealed with delight!

This was the first advent box I have ever signed up for and I truly did not know what to expect or if I would be disappointed. I squealed with delight on day 1 when I got the bag. And on Day 2 through Day 25. I was so sure that I wouldn’t get a pair of wonderful scissors so image how excited I was. Everything was wonderful and I’m definitely planning on the box this year, By the way, I needed a box to hold my embroidery project and was excited with the lovely box I received for my gifts. I have to confess I ordered another box from a knit shop and was so disappointed with then items they chose in the plain cardboard mailing box and and little envelopes to hold their items. So I appreciated your wonderful box all the more! Thank you!

It’s so nice to be able to have something just for you

This was a great idea and lots of fun. I opened a box daily and like a child I wanted to “cheat” and open more than one! I enjoyed all of the gifts and will be using them throughout this next year. Not sure if I can afford it again for next year, but will be making that decision closer to time. It is nice to be able to have something just for you, when you are shopping for everyone else.

Got me far more brownie points than I expected

Bought this for my wife and did not really know what to expect. She absolutely loved it. The quality of the items in the calendar made it a real treat each day. She was always excited to see what was in the box. She loved the project with pattern and yarn ( mohair of course ) This got me far more brownie points than I expected
~ David Smith

All things I needed

I absolutely loved every item in the boxes. It was so much fun each day. All the items were things I needed so that was a plus! Will do it again!

There is something so wonderful about getting a little treasure every day

I love my Advent box. Opening a box every day leading up to Christmas was a morning ritual for me. In fact I was wishing we could have advent boxes for every month. There is something so wonderful about getting a little treasure every day. I loved that Day 1 was the beautiful bag where all of the marvelous little surprises could be stashed once discovered. This box was a gift to myself after a very hard 6 months and turned out to be some of the best self care I have ever given myself. I am already looking forward to the 2022 Advent Box- I can’t imagine my holidays next year without it.

A true delight

This Advent Box was a true delight – beautifully and professionally done. Dawn’s love for what she does showed in every aspect of it! I highly recommend Dawn’s business – Quality in the highest degree!! <3

A magnificent Advent Box

This is/was a magnificent Advent box. I had 4 this year for different things, but this was the BEST. Great idea to have the bag be day 1 so I could protect all my other treats. I love your row counters and stitch markers, so I really was spoiled. I loved everything about this box.
~ Kristina Nelson

I loved everything!

I have loved everything I’ve ordered from TSS and the 2021 Advent Box was no exception! Dawn and her crew really put together a splendid collection of surprises. Like others, I couldn’t believe that bag was stuffed into such a small box! I especially enjoyed the shortie row counter (kitties are my spirit animal) and the scissors are gorgeous. Even the salted caramels were a wonderful treat. I’m planning to order next year’s Advent box, too!

I treated myself

At 84, I had never had an advent box, so treated myself with this one this year. My 3 year old grandson kept wanting me to open my “present” so Gramma bought him his own lego box, so we could do it together. I think I was as excited about it as he was, we did it every day together.It was so much fun, I think there were only 2 that wasn’t as much fun for me, one was the two pieces of candy in one, they were good tasting, just not my fav, and the other, though cute were the sox as I never wear socks. I have polenty of the little boxes and when I realized I was getting the different sizes of chains, I labeled the boxes with an S, M, L & XL, so could keep the sizes separated, and they all fit into the pocket on the very well made bag. I just finished a 6 month job, Syncopated Brioche wrap, so now I can get back to my regular knitting and can actually use the counters I couldn’t use too much on the Brioche. Whether I’d buy it again, not sure, as I feel I have all I need at this time of my life. But really enjoyed this box this year. Wanted to thank you, but couldn’t find where, so glad to comment today. Thank you for a delightful fun Christmas gift to myself.

Well worth the money!

I loved this box. I’m new to Twice Sheared Sheep, so I don’t have a lot of their products. I do now! I think my favorite part was the bag in the first box. It’s a super nice bag and it was handy to put all the other things in. The quality and quantity of the items did not disappoint. Well worth the money!

My first Advent Box and will NOT be my last

This was my first Advent Box and will NOT be my last. I absolutely loved it. I already owned 2 of the tins but I can always use more (larger size is welcomed too although box size may limit that idea) and can gift one or two as well – so will not go unused. I have used the bag for a “carry my project” back and forth – it is awesome and super cute, love it!! The scissors are perfect – everything was great, I will be doing this again. Thank you!!
~ Kimberly Hunter-Smith

A great box of treats

This was my very first Advent box and on a scale of 1-10, I would rate it an 8. Since I have the patience of a two year old, I tore into it after 2 days and the only thing I was dissatisfied with was the yarn. There was not nearly enough of it. I have started a next year’s. Advent Box $$$ collection so that I can be among the first to order mine this year. Thank you for putting together such a great box of treats.

A surprise for myself

For various reasons, my hubz was unable to go xmas shopping this year, so I told him I would buy a surprise for myself, and this advent calendar was it. I opened all the cunning little boxes xmas eve, when we usually open them and I so enjoyed all the little luxuries there–tools I wouldn’t buy for myself but have long lusted after. I’ve put several of the chain row counters to work on projects already, love the scissors, and the various little treats, including the fuzzy socks and candies. I imagine the sturdy red outer box will find some use as well. Overall an Aplus.
~ Carol Loranger

SOOOOOO WORTH IT!

My first advent box and it was SOOOOOO WORTH IT! The bag on day 1 really set the tone and has been the perfect size for small projects. At first, I wasn’t in love with the row counters (why so many?) until I realized it was ALL the sizes! So having a tin for each size was perfect in the end, even if it did take me a few to figure it out. I think I would have preferred a “what is your usual size” or “what yarns do you work with” type of questions because I tend to work with large and extra-large needles when I knit and alpacas/natural fibers. I did realize the smaller sizes will be nice when I am doing crochet work. I appreciate the pattern, but I am fussy about my patterns and it’s not a hat I would normally make. On the other hand, my principal got excited when she saw it, so I gave it to her. Overall, it was a box full of joy, and every morning, I looked forward to sitting down and opening up the next box with my coffee. I know that last box with fancy scissors had me over the moon. Overall, I am already thinking about next year’s box. 🙂

A wonderful little thing to look forward to

I absolutely LOVED this advent calendar! It was gorgeously packaged and so much fun to open each little box every day, it definitely gave me a wonderful little thing to look forward to. I wear the cute cat paw socks all the time, am in absolute love with all my stitch markers, and am so excited to use the row counters – they’re incredible. The pouch is everything and I might have a few more tins than I know what to do with, but it’s been kind of fun to sort all my stitch markers. And, of course, the scissors! They’re absolutely lovely and have been in daily craft rotation since the day I opened the box. Such a delightful box and I’m already looking forward to next year.

Knitting essentials

This was the first advent box I have ordered. I waited and opened everything together on Christmas day. Your advent calendar was awesome. I enjoyed opening each one and discovering what new treasures I would have to add to my knitting essentials. I have been wanting the row counters and now I have 5 different ones. The stitch markers and the tins are a great addition, too! Love everything. Thank you for putting it all together!

The box and packaging were absolutely the most luxurious and beautiful things ever

I actually think this is worth 4.5 stars. First off, the box and packaging were absolutely the most luxurious and beautiful things ever. I’m keeping the empties for some advent related craft next year. I found the quality of most of the items was excellent, and I was happy to get a full range of row counters and stitch markers, as I have been wanting some for a while. That said, as someone who tries not to overload myself on excess supplies I’m glad I didn’t already own an abundance of markers and such. This worked beautifully as a starter kit for my knitting notions. The fuzzy socks were fun, but seemed an odd choice to include in something that’s geared toward handmaking things, and I get it that not everyone is going to knit themselves socks, they just seemed weird to include. I got two 2oz cakes of merino wool that are nice and soft, though the colors don’t really compliment each other. I liked the addition of a pattern, that was a fun choice. I would have loved a code to redeem digitally on a designers website instead, as the printed page is just a piece of paper that is easily ripped or lost. Overall I adored the box; it was a real treat to myself but there are a few things that could have been tweaked to really put it over the top.

You get your money’s worth!

While being pricey, if you can afford to shell out, you get your money’s worth! This is not your average advent box, and the tools are very useful. The salted caramels this year were a nice touch.
