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
From £79.00

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 subscription to a knitting 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!  

How about a knitting book?

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
