Gift Knitting Galore
It's that time of year again and knitters everywhere are looking for ideas for gift knitting.
Balsam started out as a Christmas gift for my daughter. And has since taken on a life of its own. It has been knit in so many beautiful variations: in handpainted yarns, in plush yarns, in gorgeous colours, adapted for children and now also knit for men.

No need to worry about sizing and the perfect excuse to use a luxurious yarn...
