GEEKY GIFT
Q I’m looking for a gift for an intermediate knitter who loves learning new skills (and Harry Potter). Is there anything you think she might like? Tina Kay, Wiltshire
Kits are always a lovely gift as all the materials and instructions are included, so the recipient doesn’t have to purchase anything else and can get stuck in right away. Hero Collector released some magical Harry Potter kits earlier this year which she would love if she’s a big fan. There are simple projects like scarves and handwarmers, as well as more complicated knits (a Hogwarts’ Express draught excluder and reversible backpacks). We think the best one for an intermediate knitter would be the tea cosy and egg cosy kit, with the opportunity to practise colourwork and making garments on a smaller scale while producing fun and practical finished items!
