About Me
- RobynR
- I was born in Canada and emigrated to the United States in 2005. After several attempts by my mother and grandmother when I was young, I've finally taken up knitting and have been making my husband crazy with my sharp and pointy sticks ever since. My screen name in just about everything has always been Cornsss (for corn snakes)and I was highly amused when I found a yarn that's actually made of corn. As a result, I'm looking forward to knitting with corn.

what type of pattern were you thinking?
As you know, I am rather firmly ensconced in the anti-crochet camp so my first inclination would be to buy her knitting needles and a how-to book. I do, however, support the needs of others to pursue their choosen craft. I think the pattern/hook/yarn idea is excellent. Maybe a yarn that she might not normally buy for herself (depending on what you want to spend.)
I've heard some crocheters complain about how oddly balanced the Brittany crochet hooks feel. They say that they are beautiful though. I suggest asking on Ravelry what some of the crocheters think of them before buying. If she's on Ravelry check her queue and her stash for ideas, if not get her some nice sock yarn for maximum yardage and versatility.
