Last year, without solicitation, I made a list of good gifts for knitters. This year, I actually have an excuse to go pretend shopping make a similar list, because my husband’s been asking me to make such a list for a while so that he can bookmark it and refer back to it when he needs a present for me. Look, honey! I am actually remembering to make the list!
Since so many folks are financially constrained this year, I’m keeping the list limited to yarns and accessories that cost $30 or less. I also figured I’d make it easier than last year by dividing the list into categories. So here is a comprehensive list of stuff that I a knitter might like.
