Mother's Day is this weekend and if you have a mom or loved one who knits, this little gift guide is for you. Or if you're a knitter who doesn't have time to knit a handmade gift by Sunday, here are some knitting-related ideas that you could consider. (And if you just like looking at photos of fantastic knits, here you go.)
Brooklyn Tweed's Wool People 7 has just been released, and it's bursting at the seams with designs that any knitting mom would love to knit. You can purchase PDFs of the patterns right here. (Wouldn't that make an amazing instant gift!?)
