Gift Ideas for your Favorite Knitter

I walked through Walmart last week where Christmas decorations are already set up and in full sale mode. I found the same at Home Depot and Hobby Lobby too. This is mid-October.

As a crafter I need to start early.  I have a number of projects on the needle (see my previous post, Attention Deficit Knitter) but I have to sit down now and make a list of gift ideas so I can complete these and get them wrapped.

If you are not a knitter, but are married to or best friends with a knitter, perhaps you need some ideas.  So, getting into the gift giving spirit, here is a short list of ideas to help you out.

At the top of my list is a set of Bamboo needles.  I bought my first pair a couple of years ago while we were on vacation. While my husband drove I wanted to knit and needed some supplies. Ever since my then my needle preference is definitely bamboo. They don’t slip with the yarn as easily as the metal ones do and they feel very comfortable in the hands.

Patterns and ideas are always needed by a knitter. **here’s an idea, if you give your knitter a pattern book, mark something you really like. Perhaps you will receive a reciprocal gift**

Twelve Months of Knitting Pattern Book

Twelve Months of Knitting Pattern Book

*Twelve Months of Knitting Pattern Book *Category: Knitting *Publisher: Potter Craft Knit your way through the four seasons with 36 inspired clothing, tableware, bedding, and accessory projects that aren’t just winter-worthy. Everyone loves a soft handmade hat in January or an aprs-ski sweater to wear in the lodge, but from Twelve Months of Knitting you’ll also learn to surprise your friends and family with other equally thoughtful gifts, like a spring-break bikini or beach cover-up, a floral shopping bag in April, a lovely knitted table setting for a summer meal, a kimono wrap for the first brisk days of fall, or a flashy holiday cardigan. Whether you’re just learning to knit and purl your first basic winter cap or are interested in perfecting an advanced skill like intarsia or lace, you’ll find tips and techniques throughout that will hone your current level and help push you to the next one. A handy planner is included to help you figure out when to begin a season-specific project (so you’ll know how many days you’ll need to finish in time). Each month of the year offers three projectsone for beginners, another for intermediates, and a third for the experiencedall in a range of sizes. While thoroughly detailed in its instructions and illustrations, Twelve Months of Knitting challenges old and new knitters alike to embrace knitting as a pasttime without seasonal boundaries.

Looking to start a Prayer Shawl ministry or group?  This book may help.

The authors share stories of how the knitting ministry has touched lives and hearts around the world. They offer directions for knitting the shawls and for starting a parish or community-knitting ministry.

 

One of the ladies in my Knitting Bible Study has a pair of these. They are fun and a great way to knit in the dark.

    I love bamboo needles! I couldn’t relax and knit well with metal ones because it seemed I was always struggling to keep from accidentally losing stitches.
