Ahoy any knitters out there?

[MilkNoSugarPlease]

Tis MumBoss's (am a nanny) birthday next week and I want to get her something knitting related...not wool and needles more fun storage or kitchy stuff

am ussless at this! And have NO idea what to look for! help!

One of the knitting magazines?

Not sure if we can name other sites but there is one called Ravelry that you may find useful.

got MIL a knitting bag for xmas, has pockets for different size needles and stuff. not on net tho, shop in my town

Maybe have a look here?

get knitted or Loop here is more upmarket.

To be honest, as I am a keen knitter myself, I don't actually want a nice knitting bag - I just use whatever is to hand. And I prefer my plastic stitch markers to the fancy ones somebody made me. I do however love my fancy Knitpro needle set. If she is a trad knitter, then a voucher for John Lewis would be nice!

Does she knit socks at all? Laughing Yaffle do gorgeous sock project bags here. I own two and use them all the time, need to buy more as I cast on way too many projects at once!

(Slight disclaimer, the owner is a friend of mine - but I spend tonnes of my money there as I really do love her stuff. Both my bags were bought, not freebies!)

I second florence's suggestion of GetKnitted or Loop -- GK has great selection and prices, while both have nicer stuff than JLP who only have pretty bog-standard yarns.

I loooove my Lexie Barnes circulars case -- it was rather spendy but I was always struggling with circular spaghetti before and v worth it. Lantern Moon also do extremely cute measuring tapes like bees and sheep!

But as a knitter I agree -- stash is never big enough.
