The Greatest Gift Guide for Knitters

The Greatest Gift Guide For Knitters

Happy Holidays everyone! I’m just making it through some last minute deadlines and turning my eye towards shopping. It’s time to put in those last minute orders, and today I have the greatest gift guide for knitters. You’ll love these gorgeous tools, kits, and patterns. They are perfect for experienced knitters and newbie knitters alike! Not to mention, I would love anything on this list, like this adorable hat kit above from Fancy Tiger – wink, wink (hoping my husband still reads my blog!)
