Knitters Christmas List 2010

Well it's getting to be that time of year again, time to pick out presents for your favorite knitter! Or for yourself, =D.

In no particular order here's a list of my top 10 things for knitters:

1. Blackthorne double pointed knitting needles, they're made of carbon fiber. Which makes them light, smooth and incredibly strong. If you've ever snapped a dpn while knitting a sock, you'll love this little guys.



2. Nameste's Buddy case, it's a great place to stash all your little knitting knick knacks. It's well made, comes in great colors and best of all, the back panel is magnetic so you won't loose your darning needles anymore!
3. Sterling silver stitch markers from Spindle Cat Studios. These little stitch markers are unique, beautiful and feel like jewelry for your knitting!
4. Ceramic Yarn Bowl from The Mud Place - What a beautiful way to keep your yarn balls under control. 
5.Limited edition Knitkit - Knitkits are like swiss army knives for knitters! There's a row counter, a storage compartment that houses a darning needle, scissors and little rubber stitch markers. There's also a handy dandy retractable measuring tape. 

6.Knitpicks Try It Needle Set - Every wanted to try out one of Knitpick's signature interchangeable needles? Afraid to buy a set because of the slightly high initial cost? Check this out! You can get 3 sets of tips and a set of 24" cables. The Zephyrs come in US size 6, the Harmony's US size 5 and the Nickel plated in size 4.
7.Yarn Stash Knitter's Rule - A cute and funky bamboo needle/stitch gauge. A perfect stocking stuffer. 

8.At Knit's End: Meditations For Women Who Knit too Much - By Stephanie Pearl McPhee AKA the Yarn Harlot. I love this book my dear friend Fickle Knitter gave my copy years ago when I was going though a tough spot in my life. Whenever things get tough I take it out and read it again. It always makes me feel better.

9.Needle Roll from Slipped Stitch Studios- This spiffy little needle roll keeps your needles nice and safe, and to top it off it's damn cute!


10. A subscription to a knitting magazine, my current fave is Creative Knitting. The magazine is filled with cute projects, great ides for gifts and pretty pictures of yarn.
