Christmas In The Air

by 5 Comments

This year, I have decided to make a concerted effort to spend my gifting dollars locally – or at least in the U.S. – or to purchase gifts directly from the artisans who made them.  To that end, I’ve spent a lot of time trolling the net to find some good ideas for crochet gifting.  Here are some of the best I’ve found.  And, since I’m a slow crocheter and the number of days to crochet before the Big Day arrives is narrowing, I’ve concentrated on items I think will work up fairly quickly.

I love these coasters and think they would make a great gift for a Christmas hostess or anyone who entertains this time of year.  You can purchase the pattern here.  In addition to making them for their intended purpose of coasters, I think they’d make nice hanging ornaments or even a garland.

  4. As a local artisan, thank you. It means a lot for those of us who have to compete with the big stores and other countries to just sell our crafts.
