I love receiving packages in the mail especially when the company or person took time to wrap the item. So, I decided that I
needed to make a pretty bow to attach to my Christmas advent calendar. I knitted 12 adorable Christmas socks to countdown the days before December 25th. It is a fun way to get in the spirit of Christmas. I just needed the perfect touch before I sent it out.
