Dec 6, 2008
Knitters deserve special gifts! Here are some ideas for luxury gifts that are perfect for keen knitters.
Wooden Knitting Needles – Wooden knitting needles are a true luxury for keen knitters. They are lightweight and smooth, making knitting an absolute joy. Wooden knitting needles are often handmade and this makes them more expensive than mass produced metal or resin alternatives. Single sized pairs are available as well as knitting needle sets that contain a range of the most popular sizes. A set of wooden needles will make a really thoughtful and luxurious gift for knitters.
Interchangeable Knitting Needle Sets – Interchangeable knitting needles are an innovative idea ensuring that a knitter always has the correct size of needle for a project. These clever knitting needle sets contain a range of difference knitting needle sizes plus cords that join them to make circular knitting needles. Interchangeable knitting needle sets make a great gift. Three of the main brands of interchangeable knitting needle sets are: Denise, Options and Boyes Knitmaster.
Knitting Bag – If 'knitting bag' conjures up thoughts of old fashioned granny bags then think again! There are a wide range of specially designed knitting bags available in contemporary styles. Knitting bags contain pockets and straps that will hold knitting needles and yarn safely and will help to keep things organized. Knitting bags come in a range of styles including knitting totes and messenger style bags. These are a perfect gift for knitters who are often 'on the go'.
Handmade Stitch Markers - Stitch markers are a useful knitting accessory. Many handmade and hand crafted stitch markers are close to jewelry in their design and created from silver and gemstones. These make lovely gifts and are often found for sale in yarn stores.
Knitting Needle Organizer – Knitting needle organizers are a great way to keep knitting needles together and in sets. These are available in many styles including handmade knitting needle organizers. These are often created from fabric and this means that there is a wide choice.
Blocking Boards and Wires – Most knitting benefits from blocking. While this can be achieved by carefully pinning out an item, blocking boards and wires make the job simple. This is a particularly useful gift for a knitter who enjoys knitting lace.
Knitting Audiobook – Most knitters find reading and knitting incompatible! The mix of turning pages and keeping stitches on the needle often results in a horrible tangled mess. Therefore audiobooks are a great alternative. To make this even more of a special gift for a knitter, there are many knitting related audiobooks available. These include knitting related fiction books through to knitting handbooks in audio format. See Audiobooks for Knitters for more information.
Buying Luxury Gifts for Knitters
Local craft stores are a good place to shop for luxury gifts for knitters. As many of these items are also handmade, however, other places to look include craft markets and stores that sell handmade items. Online websites, such as Etsy, are also a good place to look for unusual handmade knitting accessories that are perfect for a special gift.
