ready, set, knit!

If you missed our Holiday Open House, then you missed two lovely evenings of great snacks, good yarn, and fun people. But you have not totally missed out because I have a recap of the event plus continuing gift inspiration!

What party doesn't have great food? Our wonderful snacks were provided by the lovely Anne who proves herself both a talented knitter and excellent cook!

A delicious spread of ginger snaps, shortbread buttons, curry "knitting needles", nuts, fruit, and sparking water.

Anne is also the mastermind behind some great gift kits for the others knitters on your holiday list! Here we see kits for Sox in a Box, Learn to Knit Kit, Ultimate Notions Gift, and Scarf To Go. We are selling these kits through the holiday season. Come pick one up for your favourite knitting pal!

Pretty Gifts all in a row.

One of my favouites is the Scarf To Go. This is a great gift for knitters of all skill levels. It comes with a variety of yarn choices and everything you need to knit a lovely scarf.

Scarf To Go, complete with fortune cookie!

In addition to gifts for the other knitters in your life, we have suggestions for quick and simple holidays gifts that anyone can finish on time. Come in to buy the yarn, and the pattern is yours!

The Ideal Hat

I have discussed at length the joys of hat making. This simple pattern is as elegant as it is easy to make. Let you imagination go! Makes the perfect gift for the last minute people on your list.

Pure Bliss Scarf

The crown jewel of scarves--cashmere. This is the perfect gift for the most special people on your holiday list, and we have beautiful colors for both ladies and gentlemen. Make one for your husband, but be careful, you may just forget to give it to him and keep if for yourself!

Sue's Seed Stitch Wash Cloths

Washcloths (for face or dishes) are a good gift for the person who has everything. Match to their kitchen or bath colors, and you will be remembered fondly every time they take the cloth out to use. They are great for all ages. Sue has knit them for her nieces and nephews, and I made a set for my grandmother. They also make an excellent hostess gift when you attend holiday get togethers.

Simple Children's Hat

Finally, we have a hat for the smaller folks in your life. This sweet and simple child's hat will surely delight new parents and keep the little ones warm and cute!

We at Knit+Stitch have kicked off our holiday season! Have you?
