What to give a crocheter as a gift
Looking for a gift for a knitter or crocheter? I have some ideas!
Buying hooks and needles can be tricky unless you know the size they use often or a brand they prefer. These are very personal to a crocheter or knitter. Same with yarn and patterns.
What may look pretty to you may not look pretty to the person you are buying for. That would be like asking my cat to go pick out lettuce and bananas for me. He wouldn’t know what he was doing!
Useful tools that support the craft, knit and crochet shirts and tote bags and even yarn tools will make every fiber artist happy this holiday season.

Does your loved one have too much yarn? They may be a yarnivore! In all likelihood, there is a good chance your friend has a yarn addiction if they knit or crochet. I haven’t met one who isn’t! The colors, ideas and softness of yarn whenever they go to a craft or yarn shop is just too tempting to resist.
