If you could get ONE crafty gift for Christmas...
What would it be?
My grandmother is an amazing crafter... She knits, crochets, makes pottery AND ceramics, paints, sews, and does just about everything else involving art. She's my go-to for knitting 911!!!
With that being said, I have no idea what to make or buy her for Christmas. Everything craft related that she could use, she could also make....much better than I can, I might add.
What's the ONE crafty gift you'd love to get this year?
Re: If you could get ONE crafty gift for Christmas...
Same, probably a gift card. I have some beautiful needles, a swift, a ball-winder, and a brand-spanking-new yardage counter, so really, all I need is the yarn to knit with.
Oh, and I wouldn't say "no" to something pretty to store my yarn in. Most of mine is in a cardboard box in the guestroom closet right now.

I'm not inclined to resign to maturity
I agree a gift card is a good idea, but I bet your grandmother would really like something made by you even if she can make it better! Especially if she helped you learn to craft!
I have a friend who makes everyone a baby blanket when they have babies. It is just two pieces of flannel sewn together then turned and top stitched. When I had my baby she did not make me one because she knew I made baby quilts and said she thought I wouldn't want one because I could make it myself...I was so bummed to not get a blanket from her!
Awww bummer! I am sorry
My mom is also crafty and I love when she gives me her own crafty creations!
Those are great suggestions! Thanks, girls! I think I will try to make her something... my friend can sew the needle roll (I'm going to have to ask for one for me too!) but maybe I can knit her a glasses case for her reading glasses.
Thanks again!
