Loved the video! Sadly I don't have a lot of knitworthy people around me. I guess I have to knit for myself🤷
Knitting for ourself is always a good idea 💕
You are ❤ and knit worthy
I am running out of family and friends, so I knit for charity. Check with your local hospital for needs for newborn hats, mittens. Also, I’ve given hats to the local Salvation Army or check for local Veterans organizations.
You could also donate your knits.
I just came across your channel as I’m getting back into knitting - albeit a little too late to make much for this Christmas. But I just have to tell you that I think you’re very very pretty !
Thank you for putting so much work into your list of gift knits. Many were new to me and nice free patterns are a bonus too. I jumped on the Sophie scarf bandwagon and I’m hoping it will suit me. Your Mom will be thrilled with her gifts. I’m partial to that colour too.
I'm glad you you liked the video ☺️
Great suggestions!
Thanks! This comes to the right time! Although I still have so many WIPs! 🤭
I am wearing the Harmony pattern socks at the moment. One of my favorite sock pattern and easy to do.
Thank you for the quick gift giving patterns. I enjoyed this video very much.❤
I'm glad you liked it ☺️
Thanks for taking the time to compile this list! Great video!
Thanks a lot 🌻
Lots of great ideas!! Thanks for sharing your fabulous research. Happy Holidays🌲
Thank you so much 🎄♥️
What a great idea and timely. Thank you for your research. 🐨🦘👋🏻
great, straightforward ideas. Thank you!
Love this video!!! Totally going to make the hot water bottle for one of my sisters! Never thought of doing that before!!!
It's a great pattern and super adaptable! 🌸
So many good gift ideas, thank you!
I love toe up socks! Once you get some experience with different heel construction methods it is easy to translate cuff down patterns to toe up patterns. Also I just want to say your English is fantastic! I studied French for 10 years at school and I can barely say anything lol.
I'm currently finishing my first ever pair of socks. I was a little "afraid" of them for quite some time haha! But i found out I really like sock knitting after all. Can't wait until I have a sufficiently good understanding of sock construction to be able to do that! And thank you so much 💕
Lovely patterns!! Recently subscribed to you and love your content and your vibe ❤❤ watching from Ireland!
Thanks a lot 💜
Thanks, some great ideas, I am benefiting from your pattern research xx
Thank you for your comment ☺️
These are great ideas! I have planned most of my gift knits out already, but I'm still looking for something for my mother in law and I think you mentioned some great options for her here! ❤️
Will definitely be making some of these. Thanks so much:)
You're very welcome 💕
I found the first beanies pattern one day after I bought the oslo hat pattern which was kind of a shame because they are so similar! They’re super pretty and comfy tho
Oh too bad! Both of them look so good ☺️
Try the pattern "Be Simple Variation" shawl. It is free also.
Thanks for the suggestion 😊
Oh my gosh bestie I am making the sofie shawl right now too!!! I tried and tried to find an alternative and could not either!!! But I am loving in because I am very sick in bed with covid now so it is my comfort knit !!!
wishing you a speedy and serene recovery 🧶🧶🧶
I'm sorry to read you're sick. Hope you feel better very quickly. Good knitting on your shawl, personally I'm loving it 🥰
Hi Claire! So excited to hear that you are enjoying the experience of knitting the Sophie Shawl, as I've been going back and forth on whether to knit it or not 🤪. How many hours cumulatively do you think the entire project took you if you were to guess? Thank you!!
P.S. I vote for "yes" on the scrunchies tutorial! Ever since seeing it for the first time on your previous podcast episode, I have not stopped thinking about it!!! What a genius idea for a gift, as it must be so quick, and more importantly, so useful!
Hey 🌸 wow that's a difficult question.. I'm making the biggest size and using yarn that is slightly too thin to get gage so I knit a little more than what the pattern indicated, to get the right measurements. In my opinion, it's quite a long project in that size. I'm not good at guessing a number of hours but I think I could have finished it if I only knitted that in my free time in about a week. It's quite mindless and addictive but definitely not a "quick project" per say. In a smaller size and if you get gauge, it will definitely be quicker.
Noted, for the tutorial ☺️ thank you for your comment 💜
Lovely video! Thank you for the great thoughtful gift ideas. 💕
Great video! I was surprised to randomly find a knitter from Romandie ! I only started knitting a few months ago, do you have suggestions as to where to buy or order yarn from Switzerland? Thanks :)
We're out there 😊 generally I don't really order from Switzerland. I order mostly from Germany (Algawo or MondoLana for Drops) and in whatever country the brand I'm ordering ships from. I try to not exceed 65chf so that I don't pay super expensive customs fees 🌻
I think for socks check out Knitting expat, and mittens Skeindeer knits.
Thanks 😊
Ton vidéo donne vraiment beaucoup d’idées! Merci!
Et espérons que Marc a bien sauté la partie de la vidéo.
Haha oui il l'a bien fait ! Contente que la vidéo t'ait été utile 😊
I really loved your trip around Europe. The price of yarns was so cheap in Norway compared to gere in Australia. Is your TH-cam channel part of your uni course in psychology? If you ever come to Sydney Australia we could have coffee at the beach. I'm a new subscriber Barbara Radzevicius Bondi Crafter.
I must say that I didn't buy the more expensive kinds of yarns. I very much shopped in sales sections and prioritised budget options 😊. My channel has absolutely nothing to do with my studies although I like to think about knitting through the lense of mental health. Thank you for your support Barbara 🌸
hi claire! im learning french and was wondering what the podcast you mentioned was? i tried playing it back a few times but i can't make it out. your gift ideas are wonderful! im so glad i found your channel!
I think I was talking about the podcast "Tricolibri" 😘
@@SeptemberMakes thanks a ton! I'll check that out right away 😄
Bonsoir Claire! I have just settled down on my couch looking forward to an evening of knitting, after a lot of maths to re-gauge a pattern, I cast on my next gift knit (un gilet pur mon père 😅 first time cables and pockets, with a totally different gauge, fingers crossed it comes out well) What a lovely video with many ideas, merci! I will be - hopefully - knitting 2 hats as Xmas gifts, and was thinking about the purl soho one but I still don't know if I will knit the version with a 1x1 rib or 2x2. By the way purl soho does have some paid for patterns as well 🤗 I have never knitted socks yet and not sure I will have enough time to attempt them now...the water bottle is a great idea, but....doesn't the wool felt with the heat from the water bottle? and which of the three drops was the one you liked most? as for alternatives to the sophie shawl there are some very simple wraps on purl soho that are free, some in garter and some in other basic stitches, I started the half&half not too long ago, but that will be a long term, on the side knit....all the best 💚💚💚🧶🧶🧶
Thank you for the heads up and the ideas! In my experience with the water bottle, it's not really a problem. It wouldn't impact the size in case it felted, but it doesn't seem to felt for now. In general, I'm a big fan of the Lima kind but all three were great and it was a lot of fun to be able to pick colours in such a wide range. I'm currently knitting the "school of socks" pattern by Summer Lee as my first real (and hopefully soon to be finished) socks and I'm very impressed about how quickly they knit up, even with 2.25mm needles and how easy they are 💜
