Christmas in July! Our Advent Calendar Kit and Pattern | Purl Soho

Amidst summer’s lemonade, swimming pools and fireflies, it may feel pretty counter-intuitive to think about Christmas right now. But hard as it may be to replace thoughts of popsicles with visions of sugarplums, July’s long, lazy days are a great time to get started on a very special holiday project!
