holiday printables

I don’t know about you, but I love printable party supplies. They’re easily customized, super convenient, and so much cheaper than buying items from a party supply store.

If you’re looking for a simple way to prepare for all the special events that occur throughout the year, The Printable Holiday can help. This website offers access to over 1,000 holiday templates for just $16.95 per year. There are party invitations, greeting cards, clip art, recipes cards, thank you cards, and more. Whether you’re planning your daughter’s birthday party, getting ready for your
son’s high school graduation, or organizing a Fourth of July picnic, The Printable Holiday has you covered.

The Printable Holiday is part of a family of websites that also includes The Printable Wedding (offering everything you need for a walk down the aisle) and The Printable Baby (printable supplies for baby showers, birth announcements, baby scrapbook pages, and more).

“Our visitors are savvy online and computer users – they are looking for solutions that give them more control of their printables,” says product manager Lacie Murphy. “We provide attractive designer templates they can quickly customize and print immediately at home for professional results – all for a fraction of the cost of ordering printed invitations.”

LoveToKnow Corp. has generously offered to provide one lucky Craft Gossip reader with a one year subscription to the site of their choice: The Printable Holiday, The Printable Wedding, or The Printable Baby. If you’d like to enter, leave a comment telling me what type of event you have coming up where printable party supplies would be useful. I’ll announce a randomly selected winner on June 16.

If you have a little one in your life, Knits for Little Ones by Lotte Rahbek is full of sweet patterns for kids ages 0-2 inspired by nature and the sea.

Rahbek is a designer of Nordic inspired knits and these projects include lots of simple but nice details like stripes, cables, ruffles and eyelets.

There are no knitting instructions in the book and one page that includes descriptions of a few techniques like raglan shaping, picking up stitches and German short rows, so it’s good if you have some knitting knowledge under your belt before you pick up this book. There is a little chart that shows some of the skills required in different projects such as I-cord, picking up stitches or cable and lace patterns.

The skill levels are described as beginner, somewhat experienced and experienced. Of the 22 patterns, 6 are rated for beginners, 7 for somewhat experienced and 9 for experienced knitters. I’m not entirely sure I agree with her ratings, which put anything with cables or lace in the experienced section, including a baby blanket that’s worked flat and mostly garter stitch with easy cabled stripes.

The patterns for beginners include socks worked on double pointed needles, which I wouldn’t consider a beginner skill. Others are a bottom up raglan worked in garter stitch with stripes, a colorblocked raglan worked from the bottom up, a pair of shorts with stripes and a drawstring waistband, top down leggings with an elastic waistband and a little knit collar with a ruffle.

Other projects include that pointed bonnet featured on the cover, a twirly dress, bloomers, a romper, cardigans and a ruffled vest, to name a few.

She leans heavily on ruffles and little cables and embellishments, which feels a little repetitive but does make the collection feel cohesive. I’d have loved to see more colorwork, but that’s clearly not what she was going for.

The photographs of kids of various ages on the beach are darling and will make you wish you had a baby and a beach to re-create some of these scenes.

If you like simple designs with a few fun details and have a kiddo under 2 to knit for, this collection is lovely and will result in pieces you are sure to treasure.

About the book: 176 pages, 22 patterns. Published 2025 by Penguin UK. Suggested retail price $16.99.
