The Unique Sheep - Christmas Advent Calendars

For the past three years The Unique Sheep has been creating Christmas Advent Yarn Calendars.  They are a lot of dyers out there creating Advent calendars now, partly driven by Ambah O'Brien's ADVENT patterns.  The first year I purchased one calendar - the Bright and Bold colorway.  The second and third years I purchased both colorways.  This year I was on travel for work the first two weeks of December, first to Norway and then to California, so I was not able to open my Advent calendars every day.  Instead I waited and opened them all this past weekend.  The inspiration for this year was A Christmas Carol and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Here is the complete set of A Christmas Carol.  The top picture shows how they were boxed and the bottom picture puts them in numerical order, which forms a circular gradiance.  The boxing order was:  8, 20, 7, 9, 19, 18, 5, 4, 3, 2, 16, 17, 15, 1, 24, 14, 15, 12, 11, 23, 22, 10, 21, 9


Here is the complete set for A Nightmare Before Christmas,  The top photo shows how they were boxed, and the bottom picture shows them grouped into their four sets.
The four sets are:  Lock, Stock & Barrel (top left, gradiance), The Electric Oogie Boogie (top right, gradiance), Sally (bottom left) and Speckle (bottom right).
