Nutcracker Advent Colors
In 2021, we took inspiration from The Nutcracker Ballet, in all its forms (ballet, music, movies, etc.) for our colors. For those who bought the 24 skein set, we set a puzzle - we gave you the pictures from which we chose our colors and challenged you to match the day with the picture using just the yarn you received. Below are the pictures, the names of the yarns, and the days in which they appeared.
1. Waltz of the Flowers
2. Ballerina Princess
3. Party Goer #1 - red tonal yarn
4. Clara
5. Mother Ginger
6. Party Goer #2 - green tonal yarn
7. Sugar Plum Fairy
8. Nutcracker fabric
9. Party Goer #3 - golden yellow tonal
10. Drosselmeyer
11. Shiver
12. Party Goer #4 - blue tonal yarn
13. The Mouse King
14. Harlequin
15. Party Goer #5 - gold tonal
16. Pink Nutcracker
17 Dew Drop Fairy
18. Party Goer #6 - purple tonal yarn
19. Candy Cane Dancer
20. Hawthorne
21 - Party Goer #7 - Aqua Tonal Yarn
22. Phillip - the guard
23. Flower Dancers
24 - Party Goer #8 - Pink Tonal Yarn
We hope you enjoyed opening your advent calendar and working with the yarn as much as we have. Mary Beth is still working on the Skyline Shawl by Helen Stewart - It's taking time but she loves the way it looks.
So, how well did you do?

This was a lot of fun,😄 i know I overthought some of my answers, lol. 😅 it was really neat to see how differently I interpreted some of the concept pictures than the Toad Ladies did,(I was so sure Day #16 was the Candy Cane dancers!) I realized I tended to be more directly literal with my interpretation of the images, when quite often the answer was a more abstract vision of it. I hope everyone else had a good time,too!
