Looking to Buy Your Crafty Friend A Crochet Gift?
You have a crafty friend who likes to Crochet, so what do you buy them? Hooks, yarn, patterns are the obvious choices but what kind?
How will you know he/she will like it? What kind of yarn is the best?
How do you know what patterns she'll be able to make and which are just way over her skill level?
As someone who crochets I can always and forever use yarn. There are other choices out there in the fiber arts world beside yarn that you can choose to gift as well. Hard to believe I know. Just Breathe. LOL
Here are just 50 such choices and believe me I could add more but I do have a family to take of and homeschool to teach so I'll sacrifice and limit the list to 50.

Crochet Yarn
Yarn is a crocheters best friend. You'll find plenty of choices for yarn - mohair, cotton, hemp, wool, acrylic - the list goes on.
Crochet Hooks
Crochet hooks come in aluminum, plastic, steel, bamboo and exotic woods. Most crocheters will have more than one set of crochet hooks and more than likely will always need more because we tend to misplace them.
Crochet Books and Booklets
Reviews of Various Pattern Books
A crocheter can't have enough pattern books for inspiration. Here are just a few that I have reviewed for this series.
