Just a Few More Days 'Til You Know What-- Last Minute Gift Ideas!


Uh-oh, did you procrastinate? Not to worry! We have gift possibilities for everyone on your list-- knitters and non-knitters alike. For example, you could get a pattern and yarn for some lovely something, wrap it up for your beloved non-knitter and include a card promising to make the wonderful knitted whatever really soon. That is definitely a win-win since you get to knit and they can look forward to an after Christmas gift, too.

As for the knitters on your list, including you? Oh there is no end to the possibilities. Have you checked out the book room lately? There are plenty of practical options-- books that break down techniques, include simple or complex patterns, etc. But there are lots of whimsical book options, too. We recommend keeping a stack of both kinds on your coffee table so even when you aren't knitting, you can be scheming about your next project.



Along those lines, we've got Clara Park's new Book of Socks for sock knitters and the Haapsaluu Scarf for lace fans. Stitch dictionaries are always a good idea, and we have best of collections from Interweave, Austentatious Crochet and more .

We've also got lots of great things for stocking stuffers: Lantern Moon tape measures (they come in adorable forms like sheep, peppermints and turkeys), project bags, decorative stitch markers, notions cases, keychain needle gauges & shawl pins.

What if you STILL can't decide? No worries! We have beautiful gift cards you can give so the knitter/crocheter/weaver/spinner in your life can decide come on in and decide what to get.

Stay tuned for our big Christmas Day Drawing. It's not too late to enter. Just leave a comment at this blog post!

I've done this with partially finished projects! But I like your idea better because it makes it look more planned, rather than a desperate plea for more time!
