Still stuck for the knitter on your gift list? Or maybe looking for a stocking stuffer? Well, I'm still discouraging Random Acts of Yarn (giving them random yarn just because they knit). There is a good solution: Notions.

Notions are all the things you need as a knitter that aren't yarn or needles. Most knitters use tape measures, needle gauges, very small scissors, cable needles, stitch holders, and more. There are stitch counters, gauge finders, stitch markers, and mini crochet hooks for fixing errors. There are buttons and clips. There are needle cases, project bags, tapestry needles, point protectors... Go into any yarn shop in your area and ask the staff to direct you to the "must have" notions.
The thing with knitters is because they spend so much time doing a handcraft, they tend to really appreciate hand-crafted versions of all of their tools. Most of us start out with mass produced pieces from a craft store, and then slowly upgrade our tools over the years. Beautifully made tools make every minute of knitting more satisfying.
