Knitting Subscriptions
| Knitting is a great way of passing the time, whether you do it to make clothes for yourself or loved ones, or whether you do it for charity. My Auntie Susan used to knit squares for cats who were at the local animal shelter and she even had her picture in the local paper, knitting needles in her hands and also holding up the square she was knitting. If you're after a bit of a different subscription for someone who loves being crafty and doing something like knitting, you could take a look at Into the Blue. They have a couple of knitting gifts. |

Monthly Knitting Subscriptions There's a gift wrapped mystery knitting box every month for three months. Each box has the yarn, knitting pattern and buttons, plus some extra surprises, and you can choose from a Baby Box, a Child Box or a Ladies Box. The company behind the subscriptions is family run; the team hand-picks the yarns, patterns and accessories. And you can access the Facebook group, where knitters help each other out and offer lots of encouragement, share advice and ideas. Visit Into the Blue here to find out more |

 | You could give a digital subscription to a knitting or sewing magazine The joys of magazine subscriptions is that your loved one can enjoy magazines over a period of time - and even build up quite a library of patterns, tips and information if they cut items of special interest out. Pocketmags have a number of knitting subscriptions (and sewing subccriptions, too, if it comes to that). Head over to Pocketmags to see what magazines they've got - they have some great offers, too! And if you prefer to give a print magainze subscription, Pocketmags can help you with that. |
 | Hive.co.uk have a good range of knitting books from those who are just starting out and learning how to cast on and off, to those who want to get a bit more specialised. Their books cover quite a number of topics, including knitting history, different knitting styles and even knitting animals! Cast off to go to Hive.co.uk here |
 | You could give your loved on a Personalised Knitting Wool Storage Tote Bag, so that they've got something to keep their knitting or crochet in. This one comes with short or long handles, and you can have up to 50 characters for the name. It's £20.00 from Not on the High Street. |
 | Want to learn how to crochet? This sounds like a lovely way to spend an hour and learn a new skill in a crochet workshop in Harrow, London. Learn how to do a slip stitch, holder the crochet hook and start up a single chain. Your crochet instructor will guide you and give you helpful tips, and you can try out simple crochet patterns. The yarn and crochet hooks are provided for you to use on the day, and you can take your crochet creation home with you! You may be part of a small group on the day, but this sounds like a great way to give crocheting a go! It could be a new hobby for you! It's £35 per person and it's available through Into the Blue gift experience company. |
Why not knit or crochet for animal charities? My auntie Susan loved to knit and she found a real purpose in her knitting - she would knit blankets (large and small) for her local animal shelter! There's a list of animal charities who could use the help of knitters here, and there are also links to a couple of amazing people and groups who have knitted for koalas in Australia, and a baby rhino too! Find out all about it here. | |
