Inspiration abounded with March’s National Craft Month and it got me thinking about gift ideas for makers. I may have mentioned a time (or two or three) that I’m an avid crocheter and knitter, and receiving gifts that are influenced by or enable me to make my favorite things. And I’m sure that I’m not alone!
