SweetGeorgia Advent 2020 Preorders are Here!

Can you feel it? That soft buzz of excitement humming beneath the surface? It means the holiday season will soon be near, bringing with it our brand new Advent 2020 kits!

It comes as no surprise that SweetGeorgia is enchanted with colour and this twinkling season seems to bring it all home. Bright-coloured packages tied up with string, pine and conifer shades decked out in ribbons of silver and gold, sparkles of sunlight across the frosted ground in dazzling hues of pink, blue, and purple, blue jeans and cocoa mugs in front of a crackling orange-flamed fire … we could go on and on.

We’re hoping to capture that colourful magic in our Advent 2020 kits, with a slightly different twist than in past years. This year, we’re offering two colour palettes to choose from. Each features twelve mini-skeins of our popular Tough Love Sock uniquely packaged with surprise extras and daily instructions for the mystery patterns.

Two colour palette options to choose from – warm or cool

Each Advent 2020 kit contains twelve brilliant SweetGeorgia colours of Tough Love Sock mini-skeins (80% superwash merino, 20% nylon). There are 985 yds / 900 m per set, 82 yds / 75 m per 0.75 oz / 22 g mini-skein.

LIMITED QUANTITIES

We have very limited quantities available and recommend placing your order as early as possible.

Due to limited supplies, we unfortunately will not be able to release any further sets for sale after they have sold out. There will also be no waitlist. Our apologies for this limitation.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN EACH KIT?

• Twelve mini-skeins of Tough Love Sock
• Three mystery patterns geared towards intermediate knitters and weavers.
• Three delightful yarn accessories
• Materials to display for a holiday ambiance

Cast on date for the kits is intended to be December 1st, but of course you can enjoy working on your Advent at anytime!

DID YOU SAY PATTERNS?

YES! Each kit contains instructions for three different pattern options: two knits and one woven! Makers can choose which pattern they’d like to make after they receive their kit:

• a lace + garter shawl for those eager to build new skills
• a lace + garter lap blanket for those eager to whip out a quick cozy project
• a scarf for those who are eager to weave throughout Advent

For both shawl and blanket, knitters should be comfortable with (or ready to learn) yarn overs, ssk, k2tog, kfb, s2kp, and short rows, such as w&t and hiding wraps. And if you’re not familiar, then we’ve got you covered with all the tutorials to help! Tutorial links will be available closer to Advent start.

The stitch patterns will be both written and charted for your preference.

For the woven scarf project, you would need a multishaft loom that is at least 16 inches wide and there will be a mix of different twill weaving effects, with it only requiring about 15 minutes of weaving each day.

WHEN WILL THEY SHIP?

• North American orders: Advent kits will ship the first week of November
• Outside North America: Advent kits will ship mid-October
  (We’ve noted that some non-North American orders may take anywhere up to 75 business days to be delivered. We continually work to ship International orders as quickly as possible, but are unfortunately unable to guarantee delivery times.)

PLEASE NOTE! Any additional items added to your Advent 2020 order will ship at the same time as your Advent kit. If you would like to receive these items separately, please place a separate order.
