Book Review -GIFTED Crochet And Knitting

by 21 Comments

Gifted, Lovely Little Things To Knit & Crochet is the name of one of the most recent publications from Interweave Press.  Doesn’t it have an inviting cover?

Mags Kandis has created a very attractive array of knit and crochet items that will make wonderful gifts for those special people in your life.  The book is divided into two sections, “Gifts for the Body” and “Gifts for the Soul”.  The projects are ALL beautiful and charmingly photographed.  However, there are only seven crochet patterns!

That said, there is plenty of inspiration in this book even if it’s in the form of knitted projects.  In addition to the knitted and crocheted gifts, there are several items that are crafted from or embellished with pre-made woolens that are felted.  That sort of recycling is something I appreciate.  I especially like the bangles that are wrapped and felted.  There are even a couple recipes to include with your handcrafted gift to make it even more special.

If you are one who both knits and crochets, this could be a great addition to your library.

  2. I would love this book. I’m always looking for great ideas. My next crochet project will be an afghan to match the colors in my sisters newly painted living room.

  3. My next project is a beautiful throw (Temair – free on line pattern from Lion Brand Yarn)- challenging, and therapeutic. Nothing like a good crochet/knitting project to relax the mind….

  4. I am working on a lapghan for someone for Christmas then I will make a baby blanket for my brother’s baby to come.

  5. Working on baby sweater sets and afghans for a craft show and for gifts. Also make things for a crisis pregnancy center in our area. Waiting for my disability to be approved, so right now money is tight and all my Christmas presents will be crocheted or knitted. Would love to have this book so I can make new things!

  10. my next crochet project is a crochet rug made out of repurposed t-shirt yarn. i cleaned out my closet and had a ton of t-shirts that were faded or stained, etc. i decided to turn them into tshirt yarn to make cat beds for my cats and to make a rug for my bedroom. it would be great to win gifted to give me more ideas of things to crochet and knit for family, friends and pets. 🙂

  13. Love your site and your work, very generous of you to offer free patterns and great links.
    I crochet and knit. Just finished a crochet hat with a knitted scarf for a friend. I am working on a sweater right now.

  16. This book looks amazing. I’m always looking for new things to work on. Currently I’m working on a wrap for me, a blanket for the heck of it and some little animals for halloween decorations.

  17. I crochet and knit, so this book looks awesome. I just finished my Lilytopia Shawl today, so I’m looking through my lengthy Ravelry Queue to decide what to do next. Granted, I could finish one of my many WIPs…

  19. I would love this book. I’ve been a benginner in tatting and just started getting into crochet and was just shown how to knit. This would make a great addition to my crafting library. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  21. I am working on an afghan with the Saints logo on it for a grandson. Next will be another afghan for another grandson (logo of his choice).
