For Makers: A Gift Guide
/It’s that amazing time of year where gifting is the thing on our minds. Even in 2020, giving is more magical than ever. So we bring you the For Makers Gift Guide. OF COURSE you could always buy your maker friends yarn because that is a NEVER FAIL kind of gift. And there are so many beautiful yarns out there!
But maybe you are looking for something she or he can enjoy without having to cast on and if you are then look no further! We’ve got the perfect list for you! And if you don’t find it here - we know you will surely find it in one of these other fabulous Etsy Gift Guides.
The best part about this Gift Guide For Makers is that it also supports other makers. We are good like that aren’t we? Not only do we love to craft and create, but we also love to support our fellow creators and what better way than the circle of gifting. These are also GREAT for treats for yourself.
1. Check out this cute clipboard! Sure you can use it for photos… or… Set it up by your cozy spot and keep your project on track by using it to hold your pattern.
2: It’s like a sports team ornament except it shows your Team Knit spirit! This ornament looks classic and fun at the same time (also: the stitches look like hearts).
3: So many of us have picked up some new hobbies during the past few months being stuck at home. This needle minder would be such a cute addition to any hoop. A needle minder has a magnet to secure the minder to your project fabric (without marring the cloth) AND to act as a safe place to hold your needle when not in use. It’s a win-win!
4: Help someone special move beyond felting to join yarn on to felting some sweet snowmen with this kit! It’s always hard when holiday decorations come down. These jolly guys can help celebrate Winter past December 31.
5: Thwart winter dry hands with this lotion bar. I love the cute snowflake shape!
6: These stitch markers are the cutest way to keep track of the orientation of your garment project. I mean, who can see a sheep butt and not smile? We’ve partnered with A Needle Runs Through It for years on projects and her markers are TOP quality and always make us smile when we use them.
7: This yarn box says “Please stay under your cozy blanket - I have everything you need to keep knitting.” Along with a needle sizer and inch markings, there’s a lid to protect your yarn from curious paws.
8: Give the gift of yet another way to use up those little yarn ends that are so hard to part with. This weaving kit is such a fun way to play with color and perfect to tuck in a bag and have ready for a little create break.
9: Make her or his cozy spot even more special with a stained glass sheep sun catcher.
10: Help give a friend’s project a proper home with this drawstring project bag. And really - can we ever have too many project bags? Is that even possible?
11: Maybe you can’t get an actual ugly Christmas sweater knit up for someone this year but you could get them some ugly (but actually super cute) Christmas sweater earrings!
12: Keep stitching even when you’re standing in line with the On-The-Go Project Bag. This is always one of our biggest sellers and everyone loves having it for walks, travel or just as a bonus project bag.
13: Wouldn’t it be fun to color this knitting coloring page over a group zoom? Just a little meditative fun between stitches.
So whatever you are gifting and to whomever (yourself included) - any of these delightful and thoughtful gifts will surely make the gifting extra special.
