The first six weren’t enough for you? Great! Here are six more gift ideas from your favorite Quilts and Knits Shop! Come in anytime and let us know how we can help you get ready for the holidays!
Gift Seven: Knitted Jewelry
These are new to The Crooked Stitch, and have been very popular this season. Kits from Designer Laura Nelkin, for these two knitted necklaces have really caught people’s fancy! They don’t take long to knit, the yarn and the beads are all included, and they really are stunning around your neck. Comfortable to wear and very striking, these are greats gifts for those who knit. What a fun and unusual way to show off knitting skill! Your knitter will love them!!
Gift Eight: Bookmarks
Here is yet another example of how socks are the gift that keeps on giving. Hand knit by a local fiber artist, these bookmarks are the perfect gift for the reader on your shopping list. Easy to mail, long lasting, and the perfect accompaniment to a good book!! These socks will take you far with many of those loved ones you haven’t shopped for yet! And if you don’t see what color you want, tell us, we might be able to help!!
Gift Nine: Quilt Kits
Here is an easy gift for your favorite quilter! A quilt kit! Not a huge bed sized quilt, but 
smaller more manageable but just as much fun quilts for those on your list who are learning to quilt or who would enjoy a small and fun quilting project. We have an adorable spider Mug Rug kit, and the Sweet Maple Sugar table runner kit, both of which are exclusive to The Crooked Stitch. In addition to smaller kits we have all the materials necessary for the adorable and timely “12 Days of Christmas” quilting project. Come in and take a look!!
Gift Ten: Sock Yarn
Yeah, I know, socks AGAIN, but do you really know how versatile sock yarn is? Shawls, cowls, scarves, mittens, vests, and obviously socks – this is only a short list of the uses that sock yarn can be put to. Probably why we have more than one type of sock yarn! We have a GLORIOUS array of sock yarn from local dye genius Unplanned Peacock Studios, as well as colors from Berroco Sox, and Comfort Socks, Austermann’s Step and Zitron’s Trekking. A new addition is the lovely Hacho (picture here) from Mirasol of Peru. There’s a lot of possibility is skein of sock yarn! Come in and check out the choices!
Gift Eleven: Stitch Markers
Probably one of the all time best knitter’s stocking stuffers are stitch markers. Always pretty, always fun, and always necessary is our collection of handmade stitch markers, just in time for the stocking stuffing season. No knitter has enough stitch markers, and you will definitely get points for passing this little tip onto Santa this holiday season! (Of course needles, vintage buttons, and blocking pins fit in stockings, too….)
Gift Twelve: A Gift Certificate
And our last, most popular and most versatile holiday gift would have to be the Crooked Stitch Gift Certificate. Make to any amount, and personalized for your favorite knitter how can you go wrong with a built in shopping expedition? Let us know who and how much and you will be ready to give a gift that is sure to be the favorite under the tree for any knitter or quilter on your list! Gift Certificates can be for yarn, lesson, or anything at all! Come in and let us make your favorite crafter’s holiday a bright one!
