Yes, knitters, crocheter, spinners, weavers, etc. are worthy of go od holiday gifts. For the past few years, I’ve created a holiday gift list for yarn crafters. It can be used as my own personal wish-list. Or for suggestions for knitters, crocheters, spinners, etc. that you know.

Top-10 Holiday Gift List for Knitters, Crocheters, etc.

1. HiyaHiya Sharps 9″ Circular Needles Set (promotional link) – Perfect sock project bag with everything a sock knitter needs

Having a little kit bag for sock projects on-the-go has been a joy lately. You can either buy this sock project bag already put together or if you wanted to get crafty and make a nice project bag and add the following items to it:

2 x 9″ 2.25mm sharp fixed circulars, 2 x 9″ 2.50mm sharp fixed circulars, 2 x 9″ 2.75mm sharp fixed circulars, and 1 x 9″ 3.50mm sharp fixed circulars

2. Jumbo Ball Winder (promotional link)– This has become my favorite of all ball winders…big balls, small balls, fingering, bulky…works great

Even if you replace someone’s ball winder with this one, at about $50, this is a great gift for every yarn artist you know.

3. Wooden Yarn Swift (promotional link) – I have two of these (medium and large) and I just love them.

They’ve come down a lot in price, so you may want to combine it with the jumbo ball winder up above.

4. Yarn Ball Spinner (promotional link) – Like a Lazy-Susan for unraveling yarn while you work

These are really inexpensive…great little gift for members of your yarn group.

5.  Interchangeable Lykke Needles in BLUSH Color! (promotional link) – This is on the top of my personal wishlist in case anyone wants to buy me a gift!

Yes, I know I have the Lykke Driftwood set of needles, but these are bright PINK! I really love them.

6. Dropped Stitch Latch Hook Tool Set (promotional link) – I own multiples of these for upstairs and downstairs and on-the-go knitting projects

Most knitters pick up dropped stitches with a crochet hook…I find this works 10 times faster.

7.  Darning Needle Case (promotional link) – Cute jalapeño plastic darning needle cases. Buy multiples for all your friends!

Don’t worry that your knitter already has some of these accessories…they can always use more. One for their on-the-go project bag, one for their television knitting, another for their bed knitting. They will appreciate this thoughtful gift!

8. A Treasury Of Knitting Stitch Dictionaries (promotional link)– Getting all four of these “treasuries” by Barbara Walker would be an AWESOME gift for any knitter!

Stitch Dictionaries are an integral part of many knitwear designers and none does it better than Barbara Walker

9. Readers – Reading Glasses (promotional link) – Like most people of a certain age, I need a pair of these in each room. I have one specific pair that I look good in that goes in my travel knitting bag for when I meet with other fiber-people.

This pair are bi-focals, which I love for television knitting! I should add this to my wish-list too…I can never have enough readers.

10. HiyaHiya Accessory Gift Set with bag (promotional link) – Every knitter needs an assortment of small scissors, needle gauge, tape measure, etc.

Don’t worry that your knitter already has some of these accessories…they can always use more. One for their on-the-go project bag, one for their television knitting, another for their bed knitting. They will appreciate this thoughtful gift!

Current Knitting

I’m very happy with how the Craft Show went this past Sunday!  The nearby vendors were awesome. My display looked great (even though I didn’t get ANY photos), and my sales were very good for a 6 hour show.

I did take a short video segment of my table.

I ended up having 7 pairs of half-finger gloves to sell and sold a total of one pair. So much for my success at choosing great hand-knit gifts. The popular item at this show was garter-striped, lengthwise scarves.

So I’ll be working on a few of these simple scarves between now and my other craft show in a month.
