Three on Thursday - Mother's Day Gift Ideas
So, Mother's Day is coming up and I thought it might be fun to look for a few giftable patterns. My mom is gone and the last few things I knit for the mother-in-law did not go over well so I'm off the hook, but if my daughter was a knitter, I'd love to receive one of these knitted projects.
Sneid is a round seat cushion knit with bulky weight yarn so it should be a relatively quick to knit project and Mamma can always use a soft cushion to sit on.
This Feather and Fan Bag Bag by Kristen TenDyke of Caterpillar Knits would be a fun gift to receive. I realize that plastic grocery bags aren't everybody's 'thing' anymore but I like getting them. We use them for small trash can liners and if I'm honest, for those monthly refrigerator clean outs that really should happen more frequently but don't.
Well, you can't have a 'what to knit for Mother's Day' post without mentioning a shawl. I saw the Onete on Facebook recently and immediately added it to my Must Knit list. I'm pretty sure that if my mom was still around, she'd love the simplicity of this shawl.

One day I hope I'll receive a knitted item as a Mother's Day gift, but my daughter isn't quite there yet. Still, these are all great ideas!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a post! (And thanks for the M.D. reminder...). I am transfixed by the colorway of that shawl. This happens to me all the time. Is it the PATTERN I love? Or the YARN? This has also happened to me with haircuts. Which is how I ended up with some very bad bangs one year. Apparently it was the highlights I loved on the model in the poster. That took a long time to correct... Love this post, Jeannie :)
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! I LOVE that round cushion . . .
ReplyDeleteMy mother is gone too. I usually celebrate by treating myself to the big yellow Whitman's box that I would always gift her but that's not happening this year. Getting anything chocolate has been hard.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post! I love the round cushion and the shawl!! Thanks for the links.
ReplyDeleteOnete went right into my saved patterns. That is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy Mother's Day (a little early).
I'm trying to not even think about Mother's Day this year since I can't be with my kids and grandkids.
ReplyDeleteAll are beautiful! I would love to give (or receive) the shawl. Happy (early) Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteOoooh! I like every one of them. I'm going to look at the patterns now. We always spend Mothers and Fathers Day alone since our kids live so far away. This year will be no different and I hate it.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
Nice gifts. My mom hasn't liked anything so I'm off the hook and a good thing too. No motivation to knit
ReplyDeleteMy mom is in heaven and my mother in law too.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these wonderful women would have been thrilled with anything...you could give them a matchbook and they'd adore it
I love that seat cushion!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a pretty shawl and I love the colour too. Our Mother's Day was in March but I didn't receive anything handmade.
ReplyDeleteThat Onete shawl is gorgeous! I think you should make it right away. Stay safe and well.
