A gift guide for my fellow knitters
I don't know about you but I'm in the midst of thinking about all the gifts I need to get for the Christmas holidays. Something about opening the first door of my advent calendar and walking by the Christmas market doing my errands in Bath has definitely sparked those thoughts. So while I'm prepping my shopping and possibly gift knitting list, I've put together a little gift guide for my fellow knitters. Great if you need to get a gift for your knitting friend or send it to that person who needs a little hint about what they should get you.
For the gnome obsessed
Seriously, is there anything cuter than a knitted holiday gnome! Pick one gnome or make the whole growing knitted gnome family. These gnomes are a super quick knit and great for using up some single skeins in your stash. You can knit it in a day or a weekend all while trying out a new knitting technique like roosimine Estonian inlay knitting, knitted fringe and knitted braids. The challenging part isn’t knitting the gnomes but deciding whether to keep them for yourself or gift them to a knitworthy person.
For the accessory lover and technique knitter
I’m a technique loving knitter and I’m here for all the excellent notions and tools that will make it easier. Like with any hobby, who can resist a new tool! These beauties will help you tackle new techniques with ease and make sure they look like your a master knitter- because you are!
Tackle roosimine and intarsia with ease using yarn bobbins to keep that yarn under control.
Ensure your mittens are the perfect fit with some mitten blockers
Discover the fun of knit fringe using a Fringe Tool where your fringe will be perfectly even. Your friend’s and family might not believe you made it, it will be that good!
For the extra special knitter with lots of projects to store
Every knitter has a bunch of WIPs, so why not store them in style! A selection for colourful limited edition machine knit wool project bags to my personal all around favorite project bag - Hide & Hammer’s 03 project bag but with special Knitster Girl roosimine print.
For the perfect knitter stocking stuffers and secret santa gifts
You can’t go wrong with any of these gift perfect for a stocking stuffer or secret santa -especially for the wanderlust knitter!

A yarn store passport to record all your yarn filled adventures and collect stamps from every shop you visit around the world. Record your impressions of each yarn store and the souvenir stash you purchased.
For the mitten knitter
Why not put together a cute gift bundle for making the perfect pair of bespoke mittens! Combine Color & Knit Mittens, a mitten knitting pattern book meets colouring book, for your knitter to have fun creating their mitten and pair it with the tools to bring it to life. Include yarn bobbins for taming yarn and maybe inspire adding some roosimine to their mitten. Finish it off with mitten blockers to guarantee a good fit. An excellent gift bundle for a project a knitter can knit during the holidays.
