Knit up an advent calendar with mittens and clothespins.

Advent calendars are such a nice way to celebrate the countdown to Christmas. Why not make one as a gift this year? We are going to tease you a little bit, and not show you the finished product, which is inspired by a catalog classic. But it would be purl-fectly wonderful if you went to The Vintage Umbrella to find out why we think this advent calendar is the best one we've seen to date.
