At first I wanted to knit my close friends scarves for Christmas, but then I thought, “Hey, why make them something ordinary that can only be used pretty much once during the year?!” Any ideas for fun, creative, and/or useful knitting projects that I can give as gifts?
Any good links would be appreciated as well!
Thank you!

A friend of mine made keychain lip balm holders last year and gave them as Christmas presents. They were really cute, and helpful! I was her inspiration for making them she said, because I was always losing my lip balm and having to buy new ones all the time! But I still have my keychain a year later. I love it! You probably know what I’m talking about, but here’s a link to a website I came across a while back that has a picture of a pretty one in black and pink.
Check out knitty.com …. they have a “whimsies” section with nontraditional patterns that are fun and different…… I once knit a stuffed womb for my sister to congratulate her for becoming an OB nurse–got the pattern from knitty — bizarre, pointless, yet creative and fun
If “whimsies” is a bit too whimsical, you could literally spend hours surfing all their other patterns, its THE best website.
Also, I recently got referred to ravelry.com, which is a community for knitters and crocheters to share projects. The only downside is that you have to wait a week to receive an “invite,” but it appears to be well worth it. Good luck!
I’ve been knitting Chrismas presents too! I knit a rectangle then i fold it in half. Then sew up the edges and i will have a mini bag! I add some buttons or a flap or a draw string and then i decorate!!! I sewed on a butterfly shape from felt and embroidered my friends name on it. Also add a handle. You can knit that or chain it. My friend loved hers! They just need to to be small. Not too big. I used the garter stithc but i think any would work. Use large needle and thick yarn of your choice! Have fun! And i hope i helped!
Hand knit textured wash clothes are actually both cool and useful. Because of the texture the clothes are good for really cleansing, and if you make them out of a natural cotton, they will be good for the skin and the environment. This makes for a sophisticated gift.
A bath mitt is also a cool and appreciated gift.
