And there we have it, friends! 2016 Knitter’s Gift Guide, full of goodies that I secretly hope I get, too! What did you like the most? Anything you hope you’ll be getting this year?
so many cute ideas! I want to buy all of this, for each of my knitting friends AND for me! 🙂
Thanks, Wanda!! I don’t have anything on this list, so I was basically shopping for myself. 😉 I had a hard time choosing a knitting-themed art print, that shop had lots of beautiful ones!
Julie, I love this list!!! I should send the link to this post to all my friends, haha :))) I would love to get Lemon Watercolor (would look so great on simple white walls!) and Hanki snood kit – looks so cozy!
That’s totally why I make the gift guides- sometimes you don’t know what you want until you see it! 😉
Love this list! My favorite is the crochet blanket gift set. I’ve been eyeing all the cute crochet blankets on Instagram and getting totally inspired to make one myself. The colors are so bright and cheerful (perfect for the gray winter days ahead).
I love the crochet blanket set, because putting together colours does not come naturally to me at all! So much easier when it’s a beautiful, inspiring palette like this.
What a great list. My knitting besties will be very happy. I already ordered and cannot wait to see the copper pin and stitch holders. The mug is for me!
So glad you were inspired!! It’s so nice when someone combs through Etsy for you, ins’t it? I want everything on this list, too!
So inspiring as usual! I love that knitted lemon print! Greta stuff.
That lemon print, I so want it! The whole shop had loads of great knitting themed art prints, it was soooo hard to choose!
Oohh, great suggestions! I’m intrigued by The Fashionary. And that lemon print!!!
I’m told by other knit designers that the fashionary makes sketches for design submissions a billion times easier! It’s a real go-to.
Thanks – I was happy to support the Canadian Etsy shop of Slashpile Designs who make the knitting needle ring you featured. I was looking for a gift for a friend in Canada – who doesn’t knit – and found a beautiful pendant for her in their shop, yay!!
Great suggestions here 🙂
What a beautiful selection! I’m so flattered to have my square Simply Solid stitch markers (pack of 12) featured 🙂 Thanks so much!!
I like pretty much everything on here….I am going to use this as a very strong recommendation for my family….and there’s some good idea for knitterly friends as well! Thank you!
Such great tips and ideas! I’m going to link this blogpost to my friends
Happy Holidays!
I have some of these already and can say all are gift-worthy! Now to add the rest to my wishlist!
