gift advice for a knitter

RooMama · 12-10-2014, 09:09 PM

My 22 year old niece is a knitter and I'd like to get her something yarny for Christmas. I don't know her level of expertise, I know she has made scarves and some hats. I have a budget of $25. I'd like to get her some really nice yarn and maybe a pattern that would work with the yarn and maybe some of the stick things, too. I have no idea where to begin. Help!

I agree with gift certificate. Yarn is such a personal preference. That being said, craftsy sells some kits (yarn and pattern) that might work for you.

I got my mom a knit crate for her birthday. They have subscriptions as well as kits. My mom said the yarn was very nice.

google "magic ball of yarn" those are always super fun, and you could do a nice one for that amount.

a few nice stitch markers, some nicer yarn, a pattern, and the needles recommended for the pattern.

if you want ideas of what she would/ could knit you can ask her mom too if she knows what level. otherwise i'm sure a bunch of us could come up with some ideas
