Looking for the Perfect Gift?

Here are Some of our Favourites...

 

- Under $25.00 -

 

Anina's Pick:  One skein of soft and fuzzy Astrakan with free cozy cowl pattern.  A quick knit for a last minute gift idea, a sample of which is available for viewing most likely on Anina at our Pt. Grey location.

 

Other staff picks...

 

Namaste's Better Buddy, great for storing notions and available in a wide range of colours.

 

A great selection of Woolpets needle felting kits - from easy to intermediate, these make a perfect stocking stuffer.

 

Other great stocking stuffers include Laura Nelkin's Butin Collar and Mudra Cuff knitted jewellery kits, or, Blue Sky Alpaca's Pretty Cheep Bags. 

 

- $25.00 to $50.00 -

 

Jan's Pick: Lothlorian Gloves and Socks because she's always cold and they keep hands and feet toasty warm! They also make a great gift if you are running out of knitting time.

 

Other staff picks...

    

Biscotte & Cie Hibou kit, which contains the yarn, beads and pattern to make these adorable owl socks.

 

Know Knits, GoKnit Chic bracelet kit which contains yarn, rhinestone accents and instructions to make two unique bracelets.

 

For a traditional holiday stocking, the Felted Sweater Stocking pattern is perfect.  It is knit from the top down using a bulky weight wool such as Cascade Ecological Wool, and can be hand felted for a softer look or thrown in the wash for a tighter, smaller stocking. 

 

- $50.00 to $100.00 -

 

Amanda's Pick:  Four different limited edition Soakboxes which include yarn and glove pattern, a bottle of Soak, luxury hand cream, and matching nailpolish. Amanda plans on giving these to a group of friends for a knit-a-long / manicure party.  A perfect gift!

 

Other staff picks...

 

Limited edition Addi Diamond Art 10 mm, 32"  circular  needle complete with a visible core of genuine Swarovski crystals.

 

Knitter's Pride Dreamz deluxe needle set or straight 14" needle set.

 

Della Q  Lily Double Point roll, perfect for organizing double points rather than getting lost in a drawer and ending up with two of every size. 

 

 - Over $100.00 -

  

Kathleen's Choice - Jade Sapphire cashmere scarf kits for him or her in a wide assortment of colours and including 7 patterns to choose from. Exquisite...just like Kathleen's refined taste. 

 

Other staff picks... 

 

For that someone special, a hand-crafted Offhand Design bag is a gift that will be forever treasured. 

 

Wisdom Wrap pattern designed by Gina Wilde is described as "an easy exercise in satisfying colour play, meditative knitting, and luxurious fiber."  The pattern calls for Alchemy Sanctuary and Silken Straw and uses a Shibori felting technique that creates a finished fabric that is soft and translucent with a graceful drape.  Make it for that someone special or provide the pattern and materials for a fellow knitter. 

 

Any of the ever-popular Addi Click Interchangeable kits are sure to please even the most difficult to buy for. 

 

Or, if you just can't decide, a gift certificate in any denomination is always a perfect solution!
