Christmas Gift Guide | The Craft Lover

PONY BAMBOO KNITTING NEEDLES, KNITTING TOTE BAG, SUPERCRAFT BOOK, JAPANESE PAPER

Hello and welcome back to the fifth and final instalment of my Christmas gift guide series! Make sure you check out the previous four posts for FASHION, BEAUTY, HOME and TRAVEL gift inspiration but today is all about crafts.

I have always been into crafts and creating, having been taught to sew and other skills at a young age. Last year I learnt to crochet thanks to the incredible catalog of YouTube videos and I have recently rediscovered the joys of knitting. I truly believe that it is never too late to take up a new hobby and the SUPERCRAFT book has some great projects - one for every weekend of the year in fact - to get your loved one inspired. It is also contains a handy sewing, crochet and knitting course so why not encourage them to learn a new skill with a gift of some stylish PONY bamboo knitting needles, a lovely ball of wool and a cute slogan tote to keep it in?

Alternatively, you could just allow their creativity flow with some beautiful patterned paper that can be used to make table place cards, in origami or even framed and put on the wall for a simple yet effective decoration! The possibilities are endless!

I hope you have enjoyed this Christmas gift guide series - I have loved creating it! It is a stressful time of year so I hope I have helped ease this by providing some gift ideas and inspiration! This may be the end of the gift guide posts but I have lots more festive posts planned throughout December and into the New Year so stay tuned.

DIY Knitted Scarf

Scarf - Homemade with DEBBIE BLISS WOOL, Leather jacket - ASOS (old), Dungarees - ZARA, Denim shirt - TOPSHOP (old), Shoes - DR MARTENS

Location: Carrer de la Diputació, Barcelona

Introducing my favourite accessory this season, my DIY kintted scarf. A few Christmases ago - in fact the Christmas just before I started this blog - my grandma gave me a beautiful jumper that she had knitted for me from denim wool. I was so impressed so I decided to re-learn how to knit and started with this scarf. Of course life happened, summers passed where I forgot about my knitting and then finally last April I finished it, so this is the first winter of wearing it! It is made from lovely soft DEBBIE BLISS CASHMERINO ARAN wool and the cream colour means it goes with pretty much anything. I can't recommend this wool enough, the peacefulness of knitting and how great it feels to produce something to this quality!

Now -  what shall my next knitting project be?


Je vous présente mon accessoire préféré du moment qui est l'écharpe que j'ai tricoté. Il y a quelques Noel - en fait, le Noel avant que j'ai commencé ce blog - ma grand-mère m'a donné un pull qu'elle a tricoté de la laine en jean. J'étais si impressionnée que j'ai décidé de me réapprendre comment tricoter et j'ai commencé avec cette écharpe. Bien-sûr qu'elle m'a pris beaucoup de temps parce que...la vie…les étés sont passés où j'ai oublié de tricoter mais enfin en avril, je l'ai finie. Donc, ceux-ci est le premier hiver que je peux porter cette écharpe! Je l'ai faite en laine de DEBBIE BLISS qui est super douce et la couleur crème va avec presque tout! Je vous conseille tellement cette marque de laine, je vous dis que tricoter est vraiment calmant et comment on se sent super d'avoir produire quelque chose de cette qualité!

Alors, que tricote-je maintenant?
