DON'T GET THEM YARN // Gift Guide for Knitters

Hello Fiber Folks!

This gift guide is the ultimate gift guide for knitters! It can be tricky to pick out yarns for a knitter, but I totally get it...you want to get the special knitter in your life a lil' something more than a gift card (no shade to the freedoms these offer though).

Please leave a comment on which of these ideas is your favorite and/or tell me your favorite gift to give (or receive as) a crafter?

Happy Knitting and Happy Holidays!

Emily

Great ideas! I would add a yarn bowl, I would love one for my at-home projects. It’s an object I wouldn’t splurge on for myself but as a gift it would be much appreciated- beautiful in wood or ceramic!

I love the book end idea! I have knitting books up in my knitting room and I have THE MOST BASIC black metal library style bookend for them! That's the kind of thing I think we would all use but never think to ask for :D

Oh my gosh as soon as you mentioned an Instax camera for journaling and added it to my Christmas list!! Thanks for this video, I struggle finding things to add to my gift list because I'm so particular about what yarn I want and never know what to tell people to get me. Happy holidays!

Great video! I would also had a project bag/ tote bag for the knitter that likes to knit on the go! I have one from teamoy that can fit anything but also like a simple beige tote bag (bonus point if it has a knitting/crochet related pun on it). Also anything from cocoknits…everything is just so aesthetically pleasing

If they use straight needles maybe an interchangeable needle set. I know my In laws got me a set from knit picks for Hanukkah even though I usually crochet I’m interested in picking knitting up again.
