If you’ve ever needed a really good excuse to spend more time knitting, this is it: the utterly selfless and extremely helpful act of making things for other people.
Why do we knit gifts instead of buying them in a mass-market shopping centre? Because when we make things ourselves every stitch is infused with love and specially dedicated to the person who will eventually receive this thoughtful, handcrafted present.

Many of you will be knitting gifts for relatives, friends, lovers and even people you’ve never met all year round – but as we start to look ahead to the festive season, it’s the perfect time to think up some really special ideas for the important people in our lives.

I hope this supplement inspires you to craft something you’ll want to give as a present, whether that be to someone else or to yourself. After all, you deserve it!
