Your 2022 wish list starts here...
It’s that time of year again where we can start shamelessly dropping hints about all the nifty crochet tools, knitting accessories, and must-have yarns that our crafty hearts yearn for. And of course, it’s the season of giving and generosity, so our knittiest nearest and dearest are due some treats too! Look no further than these very pages for spectacular gift ideas for makers, whether you need a Secret Santa solution, handy stocking fillers, or ideas for yourself... if you’re reading this because the magazine has been casually left open at this page on the coffee table... well, you know what to do.
