Gift for a knitter

[CervixWithASmile]

Hello, I want to buy a gift for a friend who is a knitter and looking for ideas. I've seen this but don't know if it would be useful or not, also not sure if the standard sizes she embroiders are useful for a UK knitter or not?

Or, any other ideas? :)

Or maybe this one..

Those are lovely! Especially the second one.

You could ask for the needle sizes to be embroidered in millimetres which is the usual UK way. Or just put in a suitable fabric pen?

Thank you! If I went for mm are there specific sizes used by UK knitters?

I love these sets:

www.amazon.co.uk/KnitPro-Metal-Interchangeable-Needle-Starter/dp/B0076WNWV4/ref=pd_sim_sbs_kh_1

They are basically a nylon circular needle with interchangeable steel tips in different sizes. It means you can carry round all your needles in one compact pouch and it looks very cool. This is a starter kit, but you can get complete sets too.

Here

You are looking at metric sizes

2.75mm up to 8mm should suit most people plus a few blanks?

Almost anything from purlescence would make a good gift too.

Thanks, great ideas, I will have a browse...
