As a knitter/crocheter, yarn is such a personal purchase and when my wonderful husband said he wanted to buy yarn, I explained to him that it's much better to give a gift yard to the local yarn shop because I shop for yarn based on my intended project because my yarn preferences change based on the project. He has passed this information onto every family member ❤😂
Another good idea would be a gift certificate to the knitters favourite yarn shop. Especially if the giver wants to buy a sweater quantity of yarn but doesn’t know what to buy. Great ideas💖!
Nice wool wash and blocking mats are a couple other items that can feel like a bit of a splurge but are easy gifts that can add an extra luxurious element to the tedious blocking process.
For the knitter who has space considerations, an amish style swift and a small yarn winder would be good alternatives to the beautiful ones you suggested. Also agree with the suggestions for gift cards for an LYS - or for ravelry pattern purchases!
I’m just so proud of my friend who is getting sponsor deals and making merch and being cool and successful 🎉 🎉 🎉 YOURE a great gift! Thanks for sharing with us!
I can tell you're an incredible gifter to your loved ones because you think outside of the box and don't go for the most obvious thing. Everyone always thinks I want yarn, but I love the joy of picking out yarn for specific projects, so I much rather have someone gift me many of the knitting-supportive/adjacent ideas you mentioned! My partner is taking me to a local yarn store for my birthday in a couple weeks and said their budget is a sweater's worth...I'M SO EXCITED!
“You know how to use stickers, so I don't have to tell you about that.” Just made me laugh. Your merch is beautiful and so well thought out. Thank you for this list. Happy knitting 💚🧶💚
The thing I recently bought myself that I thought was super neat was an unconventional and one-of-a-kind yarn bowl. There's a local guy who finds things at the thrift store and cuts a yarn bowl curlicue into them. The one I got seems to be an old magazine bin with vaguely Chinese elements. I don't really use it as a yarn bowl but more as storage in my living room. So if you live with a knitter and know their taste well, some kind of aesthetically pleasing yarn storage might be nice. Nail care stuff can be useful for the same reason hand cream can be (so you don't snag your yarn). For an off-beat gift, nålebinding supplies would be fun for a fiber artist who's interested in historical things. Maybe a book on it and a couple of needles? (That's the craft that turns up in socks from six thousand years ago.)
Instantly and I mean INSTANTLY bought those two T-shirts! I am so glad I found your channel, you made me discover so many amazing artists and I love your style. Hope you make more designs, huge fan of embroidered clothing items and those two are adorable. I'd also like to add Brodé serré as a suggestion for great gifts for makers. She makes amazing d.i.y embroidery kits, but she also has adorable scissors in so many colours! I have a pair in green and I carry them everywhere to cut stray bits of yarn
My local yarn shop (LYS) has an electronic record of everything I've ever bought from them. They would be able to advice on quantities and types of yarn I might like.
I snagged a T-shirt and a sticker right away! Some gift ideas: hand care - compression gloves, hand exercise tools, cuticle oil, nail kits, gift card for a manicure or a massage. Organization: makeup bags make good project bags for socks, big baskets to keep multiple projects in, A5 binders with divided plastic inserts to store fixed circulars/cable needles/dpns. Other: tags (the kind that say handmade by and whatnot)
You said “Cocoknits,” and I heard Cocomellon… twice 😂. I had to look up from what I was doing and rewind. I guess this is a “tell me you have kids without telling me you have kids” moment
If someone isn’t able to find out enough info to buy a surprise SQ of yarn, finding out *where* the knitter likes to purchase yarn could make for a great gift card option!
Thank you so much! From my reviewing of size charts, most women's cut shirts have the same or smaller measurements than the unisex/straight cut shirts of the same size label and would require sizing up even further, so I've decided to stick to a limited product range to keep things simple for now 😊

Hahhahahaha wise husband!

Yes, 100%! 😄
@@AliMakesEverything I am secretly hoping my husband does this 🙏

Thank you so much! Tooooo much time went into it so I appreciate that some of it shows 😄 Hahahaha
Oh look, cute t-shirts and stickers! [RUNS TO BUY ALL THE MERCH]
Thank you so much! 😄
I’d add a knitting neck light to the list, such as from Lumos. My knitting friends seem to all enjoy them.
Ooh yes, I've debated getting one of these more than once! 😄
That ball winder is gorgeous!

I've never heard of nalebinding before! So interesting!
That sweater book would be super useful for an improvised cardigan I've been kicking ideas around for a few months. Great suggestions!
Ooh yes, I could absolutely see it being helpful there! Happy knitting! 😄
ALSO YOUR MERCH IS SO CUTE!
THANK YOU! I love an excuse to make cute things 😂

You made my morning! Thank you so much! 😍 Also Brodé Serré is SO cute!
Block those knits on a plant heat mat for starting seeds, even speedier, mine is about 2x3 feet and they are designed to be safe if they get wet.
Interesting! I imagine this would only be safe on superwash wools otherwise felting would be a concern? But that's so interesting!
@@AliMakesEverythingNope, it’s just gentle heat with no agitation. Like drying them on a heated tile floor

So sneaky! I like it! 😄

I like your tshirts, but I would have to go up multiple sizes to get my hips to fit. Is there anyway you can offer a woman's tshirt?
Thank you so much! From my reviewing of size charts, most women's cut shirts have the same or smaller measurements than the unisex/straight cut shirts of the same size label and would require sizing up even further, so I've decided to stick to a limited product range to keep things simple for now 😊
@AliMakesEverything the issue with sizing up in unisex is that the shoulders are far too big
Seriously woman. SLOW DOWN
Not me putting every UA-cam video on 1.5x including sometimes this one 😅
