Sunday Gifts - knitting/spinning/crochet/quilting friends
This weeks’ Sunday Gift recommendation is a request from the comment Jan left on my very first Gift Idea week. She wants some ideas for her Knitting/Spinning/Crochet/Quilting Friends…I love this one! One thing I know about crafters is that we all have an addiction to supplies and clever things. Let’s get started!
We’ll start from the beginning…gifts for those that love to knit. I had three things come to mind immediately…let’s see if I can find them…
A Yarn Bowl. The one shown above is from dancingpigpots. If you live in Wisconsin and plan to attend my Handcrafted Hoedown for the Holiday’s I’m 95% sure that JennyBlasenPottery is making some to sell at it. (this would also be great for a crocheter…)
Or some Needle Bangle Bracelets from sassafrascreations.
My last idea was some personalized knitting needles. CindyAdams makes these great, whimsical Hand Painted Sushi Roll Knitting Needles.
Onto the spinner…I’ll have to be upfront that I have never tried to spin my own yarn (although I would love to) so I’m not an expert on everything needed. Here’s where I would start.
There is a lot of wool roving on etsy like this Merino Roving – Goofing Off from ilashdesigns.
For someone like me, that wants to learn how to spin…this Drop Spindle Learn to Spin Spinning Kit from bhmalpacas would be perfect!
This Top Whorl Hand Spindle from skeinwinder123 also caught my eye as a great gift.
Onto the crocheter in your life…
Here’s a beautiful crochet hook organizer from sarahkincheloe for the crocheter.
A fun pattern like this one from ashton11 would be a nice gift along with some yarn to create the project…
And onto my personal favorite…the quilter!
The very first thing that came to mind was to get your friend/loved one a membership to FabricAlaCarte’s Fat Quarter of the month Club. I am a member myself and I just love when I’m surprised by a package of new fabrics every month. I don’t know a quilter who wouldn’t like new fabric to freshen up their ‘stash.’
A Die Cut Tumbler Block Quilt Kit from SFOQuilter would be a great idea to. These blocks are adorable and their unique shape makes the quilt even more intriguing. These kits go together easily and quickly with stunning end results: Example 1 and Example 2.
For the quilter that is a grandma or new mom, this Ladybug People Baby Shoe Pincushion is absolutely perfect. The price is right too so it would make a great stocking stuffer!
These Sewing Machine Charm Earrings from theApple would also make a great stocking stuffer!
The Quilter in Yellow from marysgranddaughter also came to mind for a great quilter gift.
I hope this gift guide helped a little…I have lots more ideas but I really must go and get some things done. Please leave comments with your ideas and any other people you are having trouble buying a gift for!

Kim,
This is a very cool idea! Thank you SO MUCH for including my Fat Quarter Club as a gift idea!
Great list of gifts for those of us that knit, crochet and quilt and a good way to highlight some Etsy Shops.
Thanks Kim
Thank you for highlighting my knitting needles! I think they are really cute too. I love the other ideas you had also. I hope you don't mind if I link you to my knitting blog. Thanks again!
Cindy
