New books have great gift ideas
As the he
ctic gift-giving season approaches, we thought we might offer some suggestions for handmade gifts that are both a pleasure to make and a joy to give and receive. A lovely new addition to our book department, Boutique Knits, by Laura Irwin, showcases 20 knit accessories, including a retro-inspired cloche cap knit in buttery chunky alpaca, a wispy mohair scarf and cozy ruffled mittens to keep your loved ones warm all winter.
Closely Knit 
by Hannah Fettig boasts dozens of beautiful projects to give as gifts, and the book is conveniently divided into chapters for mothers, daughters, sisters, men, babies and friends, although there is no reason why you couldn’t knit the elegant Cashmere Ruffles Scarf for your aunt or the pretty Pinwheel Pillow for a coworker.
And for our crocheters, Helen Ardley’s Crocheted Accessories has lots of quick-to-make and beautiful bags, scarves, and other goodies that incorporate beads and fun techniques like felting.
