Mother's Day Gift Ideas

For the Knitter or Crocheter

Zauber Ball Sock yarn if sock knitting is what she likes, organic chunky cotton for the eco friendly knitter, or a skein of cashmere if luxury is what she likes.

This afghan book will get any knitter or crocheter inspired to make an afghan for everyone. Mother-Daughter knits is full of great patterns.

Grab her a set of handmade stitch markers...the sushi are my favorite.

For the Sewer

Create your own fat quarter bundle of all her favorite prints, Amy Butler's newest pattern The Sweet Harmony Bag, or a book with great patterns such as Sew Liberated or I Love Patchwork.

Other Great Crafting and Gift Ideas

Crafting books like Feltique for inspiration and great ideas for all felting, a sock monkey kit from Woolpets, or Jenny Hart's newest book Embroidered Effects.

Treat her feet, lips, and hands to Plum Island products.

Show and Tell - Amy Rutzen

This is a sweet toddler bed "made" with Amy Butler Love fabrics purchased from Stash.

I love the contrasting duvet and the polka-dot ruffles on the pillow.

Great job Amy! Thanks for the picture.

Now what are you going to do when she out grows this?!?

I often get people coming to the shop with the question of how to pick up the correct number of stitches in your knitting, such as the collar of a sweater. I found this great article to answer that very question!
