Hi Knitters,I've been wanting to do this forever and now that I am home for a good stretch, I am. I have enough brand new, untouched yarn sitting in my studio for someone to make another Giraffe from Itty-Bitty Toys. It's the same yarn I used to knit the original Giraffe. The Giraffe calls for two skeins of Cascade 220 Superwash in Daffodil. Got it. Plus you need one skein of Orange in the same. Check. It's all here and ready to go.
I have no plans to knit another Giraffe anytime soon so I want you to take it off my hands!
You all know the drill. Leave me a comment. Say hello or whatever you'd like (within reason, of course:). I will randomly select a winner in a day or two or a few days, I don't know exactly when. I'll see how it goes. Please leave some identifying something like your name, location, anything you feel comfortable with. Only enter once, please. After I select a winner I will post the winning comment. The winner will have a few days to send me their mailing address through my email (on the sidebar). If I don't hear anything I will pick a new winner at that time.
Have fun! Let's make this one fast and furious.

Have fun! Let's make this one fast and furious.I may even play a little Secret Santa and sweeten the pot with some added prizes!!! You never know what you might get. I've got stuff, Knitters, good stuff. And I like to give it away.
fyi: One thing that won't be included in the surprise pot is a copy of Itty-Bitty Toys since I only have one copy in my possession at this point. I have given away every copy I had, which was maybe 15-20 copies, can't remember exactly. I need to get some more books for sure but right now I need to hang onto the only copy I have.
Okay, Knitters, go for it!
best, susie

Remember how cute that little giraffe looked hugging me? He's the first on my list of after-Christmas knitting and will of course be for me. I hope that I win....but will of course be knitting one anyway.....Thanks for the chance!
Sara
I think I need to knit a giraffe for my son Ben...he is taking a cartooning class and was recently stumped when he tried to draw a cartoonish giraffe....I love your blog! Thanks for all the inspiration!!!
Oh, how I wish you would come to a knit shop around here to show off Itty Bitty Toys! I have a brand new nephew and can't decide which toy to make first. This would make the decision easy!!
I have a special little girl to knit the giraffe for. Hope you pick me.
I'm going to stick my neck out and enter this for sure! I am just finishing my first giraffe tonight and I am giving it as a Christmas gift along with the book "A Giraffe and a Half". Seemed like a nice combo ... I am wowing my friends with the reversibles...I live in Madison and hoping for a snow day tomorrow. Knit and bake all day long! Thanks for the contest - Kim! Oh, I made the Elf - too sweet for words!
I have wanted to knit this for my grandson (adopted in Feb) since I first saw it!!
I'd love to knit the giraffe. And I've got my (signed copy) book at the ready! I'll knit it as a tribute to the giraffe we lost at the Tulsa Zoo.
Lee Ann
I would love to try the giraffe..he is so cute. I just finished the lion. My grandson will love him.
I am so glad that I found your blog, I am enjoying following your posts. The giraffe is adorable! I love the hat patterns in your hat book as well.
I am in Colorado and right now it's freezing out!
I would love to win the yarn. My new copy of Itty Bitty Toys arrived two days ago, and I just finished the Christmas Santa (it's so cute!) ---MaryLou
Oh, I love that little giraffe! I know just who I'd knit it for, too... you're so sweet to do this...
What a great idea! And I first heard of Itty Bitty from the giraffe on the cover, so of course I'd like to try it!
Susan, this is a great idea -- I would love to win! I bought your book sight unseen before you even did your preview, and I am not disappointed. I've set it aside to finish some holiday crafting, but I'd love to win the yarn and add the giraffe to my baby hope chest.
-Faith in Indiana
Susan, I would love the yarn. I bought your book a week ago. I think the hippo, the bunny, and the pig are so cute and plan to knit them soon.
Gail Crews
I would love the opportunity to win this as my 34 year old son had a giraffe as his favorite toy when he was little. NOW I would love to make this precious giraffe for his one year old son.
MarDee
Me! Me! I wants to knit a giraffe, he is so adorable
Oh me, oh me (hand raised up high in the air)! It would give me an excuse to buy the book in a blink and to tell my hubbie I had no choice to get the book because only that yarn goes with that project.
I'd love to make the giraffe and I already have the book! Mary from Petaluma, and a Badger alumnus!
I'm in love with all these toys you've been posting and would love to knit this for my niece!
The giraffe is adorable! I am currently obsessed with knitting itty-bitty hats for my nieces, but would love to venture out and try the giraffe. Thanks for the generous give-a-way!!
I love that there are 215 comments already. You have quite the following. I always enjoy your work and your posts. Merry Christmas!
Yea...what a great give-a-way! I'm currently knitting lots of itty-bitty hats, but would love to try the giraffe and other adorable toys in your new book!
Hi Susan !!!
I LOVE, LOVE ..... Love the giraffe :0) He just makes me smile !!! I am busy knitting Santa, from Itty Bitty Toys !!! He is wonderful and everyone wants him !!!!!! And I am also knitting 2 Candy Cane hats that are just too cute for words !!!!
Thank you soooooooo much for such fabulous patterns !!!!
You are why I LOVE knitting !!!!
Barb :0)
I love the giraffe. I am hoping to get your Itty Bitty Toys for Christmas, and he was the first toy I planned on making! Thanks for being so generous!!
Love the picture of the giraffe taking a nap! Too Cute!
Chris monterey
The giraffe is one of my two favorite toys in your new book (the other one being the puppy). I'm a fan! And I know my little granddaughter would love this.
My daughter would be tickled pink to have me knit this sweet giraffe. She absolutely loves animals and this would be so much fun. Thank you for the opportunity. :)
-Shannon in Belvidere, IL
I have all the Itty Bitty's and on a trip from Ohio to Tulsa this week JUST MISSED you there. Ouch! But I have had fun following you from yarn shop to yarn shop on the blog. There is just something so very appealing about giraffes, what is it? Long eyelashes?Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Oh my gosh I'm so excited! I'd love to knit a giraffe. My sister is having a baby in March and I've bought your book with plans to make just about everything in there! Already made "Sisters" for my sister on her birthday earlier this month. So sweet!! Plus, we have a thing for giraffes ever since that silly SnL skit about the giraffe documentary!
Thank you for offering this Your books rock!
LB
Aw, that would be awesome! I'd love to win some yarn to make that cute giraffe! -Kelly M.
I do! I want to knit a giraffe! Looks like so much fun!
--angoreo on Ravelry
I would love to knit this Giraffe! It was nice to meet you at Loops! Come back to Oklahoma soon:-)
Ruth
For once I'm not trying to win this one. I've got one giraffe under my belt and the yarn for another ready and waiting. She turned out ADORABLE, by the way...
While my itty bitty first grade son would never admit to it he sleeps with a giraffe every night. A knitted giraffe would make a great companion for Giraffey. Keep up the great work Susan!
I adore the giraffe and so does my daughter. She LOVES giraffes. What better way to knit her one? How special would THAT be?
Another fun giveaway! Maybe I'll be the lucky number. It would be great to hold some warm wool, now that the temperature is below zero here in Colorado Springs! Thanks for a chance-
shamaree
Hi! I love giraffes and your pattern is so cute. I would love to win. I've really enjoyed following your book tour through your blog. Thank you, Kristi (queenbee1958 on Ravelry)
I love this giraffe,it would be wonderful to win the yarn and knit him! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed! Would it be too cheeky to mention my birthday is this month!?! ;)
I so wish I could win this to be able to knit this toy for my 11 month old daughter for christmas!! We have a giraffe theme thing going on, it would be perfect!
Me! Me! Me! :)
You rock! Thanks for the chance to win.
I'd love to knit a giraffe! I bought your Itty Bitty Toys a few weeks ago and have been itching to knit everything in it. It will have to wait until after my Christmas knitting is done!
Cheers from another Wisconsin knitter,
Laura, Flours and Fibers
The giraffe may well be one of my fav projects in your entire book - I can't wait to knit one up... I have just the babe in mind to do it for, just don't know if it's for a boy or girl until another week!
woops - forgot to add that comment from Blake family was from Melissa in the Pacific Northwest
Thanks for all your prizes you do with drawings. Just really fun. I bought your book autographed in Mpls and am anxious to do the giraffe. What a treat to see this contest on your Blog. I have never won anything but thought it would be fun to give it a whirl
I recently purchased your book and I love the patterns!! I would love to knit the giraffe!! I am currently knitting as many toys as I can for nieces and nephews for the holidays and the giraffe would be a great addition!! Thanks for your blog, I really enjoy reading it!!
Thanks for the chance to win - he is adorable! Glad to hear you'll be home for a bit, though I've enjoyed reading about all your book=signing adventures. Hope your holidays are great!
Count me in for another great give away from my favorite author! My SIL is heading in for some major scary surgery this week with 6 months of recovery. She needs projects to occupy and this would also be cheery. So to Sheilah it will go if I'm selected!!!
Fraun
I'd love to make this. You inspire me. Even relatively new knitter can follow your simple patterns.
Veronica, oak view
The giraffe is adorable. My new granddaughter Molly's room is filled with zoo animals but giraffes are her mom and dad's favorite (she has a giraffe night lite and lamp). She absolutely needs a giraffe to hug at night! I've got all three of the Itty Bitty books but have not had the time to knit anything from this new one.
Giraffes are very decorative. I guess I would do this for my little girl but would everyday glance at it and think that I am a good mother to hand such a cutie over and not keep it to myself.
Aww the giraffe resting on the pillow is so cute! I would love to win this contest seeing I've never won anything before lol...but mostly so I can knit this for my little girl...she'll LOVE it! Beautiful design as usual...
Wonderful giraffe and lovely yarn but not so easy to find in the UK where I am. ( There is no problem getting the book though, I have had it for some weeks now!) So of course I would be absolutely delighted to have the chance to use the correct yarn without all that maths to check the tension.
Hello from Norway! Please count me in! I've just received your book from Amazon in the UK! Would be thrilled to receive this yarn from you! Cheers!
Yes yes please!! It's just so cute!
I've knitted my first hat, and would love to get my first toy! Haha!!
I love the giraffe! Our Pre-K teacher at school collects giraffes and I would love to make it for her! Thanks!
Hi!
I'd love to knit the giraffe!!
But I'm a portuguese knitter living in Portugal...I'll pay the shipping if you pick me.
Hi Susan - I've so enjoyed your blog lately. Thanks for the chance to win a prize - so generous!
I just ordered Itty Bitty Nursery. I love all your books.
oh my gosh I WOULD LOVE to have an excuse to knit that sweet giraffe! He's my current favorite from Itty Bitty Toys. And if the yarn magically appeared on my doorstep? Fate! Must make him. Thanks for the chance!
I've already knitted the giraffe and I really wanted to give it to my 17 week old nephew, but couldn't bring myself to part with him! I've run out of yarn now so this would be the perfect oppurtunity to knit another one for my nephew and still have one for my nursery!
I would love the chance to get this, I just luv giraffe's and elephants. Since, I've already knit an elephant (30 years ago) it's about time for me to knit a giraffe.
Me, me, me . . . well just as soon as I finish the bluebird/egg & the bunny from spud & chloe, oh and another ribbit. . .
I love the giraffe! Giraffes are my 15 month old little girls favourite animal in the world! :)
Susan - are you coming to New Jersey on your tour? I would love to meet you and have you sign copies of the books.
I had to buy a new copy of IBHats because my first one actually fell apart from use! Every baby shower I attend has a hat as part of the gift and I do a great deal of charity kniting using your patterns.

I love the giraffe and all of the cute toys! You are so creative!
My 6 month old would love it if I knit this for her!
Knitting the giraffe would be great! I am a new "Grammy" and I think that my baby girl would love that giraffe. Thank you for your podcast...I am a fairly new knitter and love to read your stories. Your daughters talent is amazing!
Christi
This would make a great knit for the little boy next door and those are colors NOT in my stash! So please add my name to the pot!
I just bought 2 copies of Itty Bitty Toys (one for a friend for Christmas) and that is the first thing I wanted to do! Thanks for the chance to win!
I would love him, at least almost as much as my 2 year old granddaughter would love him! I'm certain! You are so generous. I've been making itty bitty hats for Christmas for her and this would be a wonderful extra. I haven't, yet, attempted to knit toys.
I'm wishing myself good luck! ;-)
Another Susie!
I would love to win the yarn to make the giraffe!! I am a new "Grammy" and that would be a great gift for my baby girl!
I would love to knit this for my niece! I just got a signed copy of your book from a friend who met you in MN. I am thrilled! Hope you come to Atlanta some time so I can meet you in person.
I would love to knit this giraffe for my sweet new niece. I just finished an Olive You hat for her.
I'm am in dreary PA and would love something cheerful to brighten my day !
Did you know that a giraffe can eat up to 77 pounds of food a day ? ! ?

I would LOVE to knit the giraffe!!! He's been my favorite ever since he first pics of the new book came out. Please enter me. thanks!!!
Hi Susan, I live in Texas by the bay of the Gulf of Mexico. The giraffe is my favorite toy in your book! The giraffe is my favorite animal. I have a small collection of giraffes. The smallest one is only 1/2" tall. Its wooden. I also made a wire sculpture of a giraffe when I was in college.
I would love to make the giraffe! Your books have really inspired and encourage me to try my hand at toys! I am also in awe of how you do it all- mom, super cool knitter, career woman!
Good Morning! I read your blog every day and I LOVE LOVE LOVE your books. My husband bought Itty Bitty Hats for me right after our second son was born in 2006 and your books have been an obsession for me ever since. I have yet to knit anything from Itty Bitty Toys, but I would love to knit up this giraffe. My sister-in-law loves giraffes and appreciates anything hand made.
Julie B. Blacklick, OH
would love to knit a giraffe. love your flowered pillow, susie!
I never win anything, but here goes nothing! I'm expecting our third in June and have been unable to decide on this little one's project. This giraffe would look great in the nursery, if the other two kiddo's don't get to it first! Oh, I hope I win!

Love, Love, Love it!! I would even go buy the book if I won...presuming it's for sale in Australia!!
I just told my boyfriend last night that I wanted to make the giraffe. I was planning on waiting until the new Spud & Chloe yarns came out in January. I taught myself to knit in September of this year and love challenging projects. Just finished the watermelon hat last night.
Kelly
ooooh, i must knit this giraffe! my baby girl really loves giraffes. it started with 'stretch' her first favorite toy from sassy. now she just got a sophia teething toy and loves that too. i see a theme!
I would love to knit this giraffe! My sister in law collect Giraffes and I would love to make it for her! She works at the Wild Animal Park in San Diego and plays with the real ones every day in her job! She has a great life and I'm jealous!
How I would love to knit the adorable giraffe! In fact, there's nothing in the new book I WOULDN'T want to knit, having met them "up close & personal" at your signing in Lansing!
xoxo Chris
oh my...I don't know how you did it...with smiles, too...you must be so happy to be home..in your coziness and familiness surroundings.
I love the Giraffe and am looking forward to knitting some more items from the book...after the holiday knitting!

Got the book...ready to knit...need the yarn...send please.
I want too!
I would love a chance to make a giraffe. This brings such memories to me - when my daughter was young (many years ago) a giraffe was what she asked for for Christmas. I wish I had had this pattern then!! Maybe I can make her a giraffe twenty years later!
Oooh I want to knit a giraffe!!! I've made a bunny and an elefante so far. I think a giraffe is clearly the next logical choice! Especially if Santa brings me Itty Bitty Toys for Christmas!
I love your blog! it iss the highlight of my day to see what a fellow knitter is doing. I do love the girafee and would love to knit it.

I would love to make this for my sister in law. She works at the Wild Animal Park in San Diego and plays with real Giraffes all day in her job!!! She collects giraffes and this would make a nice addition to her collection. I'd love to have her take it to work and have a photo taken with the knitted one and the real one!!!! Kath
Ooh I want to make a giraffe!
I've made a bunny and an elefante. I think a giraffe is the next obvious choice!
Oops Sorry Susan, I think I entered twice.
The turkey needs a pal! Baby Lily needs a giraffe, yes, she does!!
Are you enjoying our snow?
I would love to try my hands at the giraffe. After some mittens of course, you know, because of the 15+ inches of snow, last night. :)
My little girls would LOVE for me to knit them a giraffe!! I have all 3 of your books ;)
Oh, I would knit a giraffe ! That would make a perfect gift for all those new babies around !

Hi Susan,
I have really enjoyed your hearing about your book tour. I would love to make the giraffe for my new grandson.
Oh my gosh! I would love to win the yarn for the giraffe! He is my favorite toy in your book. I've been loving the little elf knit-a-long and the giraffe would be the perfect next project. Thanks for the opportunity to win some yarn!

I would love a chance at this! I have asked for the Itty bitty toys book for Christmas. The giraffe could be my first project! I have 3 yr twins and a 7 yr (all girls) who can't wait for Mommy to make them everything in the book. Crossing My fingers!

me,me, me - I want to knit a giraffe. I bought the book last week and have made the christmas mouse already.
My daughters swim coach collects giraffew, last year I knt her up a small version from ravelry download - it was abig hit, I am certain your version would be a great addition to her collection. Plus she is graduating from college this semester and it would make a wonderful gift. Win or lose the giraffe is next on my list!
Yippe! This would be so fun to knit! I met you when you game to Grand Rapids and had you sign my copy of Itty Bitty Toys - along with the hat book and nursery book. Thanks!
I would love to knit the giraffe. That is the toy I want to knit first. I am waiting until your visit to the Woolie Ewe in Plano to buy my book. Yay! I can't wait to meet you in person and gush all over.

How terrific is this! I love your new book.
Keep up the good work Susan!
Merry Christmas,

I love the giraffe. I have been following your blog and seeing the book on a lot of other blogs. Everytime I see a post about the book, I always see the cute giraffe and think "I should make my nephew a giraffe" because he loves giraffes. I have the book on my Christmas list and can't wait to see if "Santa" brings it to me.
How fun is this giraffe! I bought the book as a pre-order and couldn't wait to get it. I never knitted a toy before but fell in love with this book (as I do with all of your books). So the smart thing I did was knit the turkey KAL you did before Thanksgiving! It made me realize that knitting toys isn't as difficult as it appears. Your instructions were perfect and made it very easy to follow and understand! Thank you for all you do for knitters!!!

I would love to win. I know a new mom whose nursery theme is giraffes. Don't you absolutely love new moms!
I have all of your books and love them all! I would love to have your yarn to knit the giraffe - it would make it even more special knowing that I used yarn from your stash to make it!
BTW -- When are you coming to Texas? We would love to visit one of your book signings!! We're disappointed that you haven't included one of the fine yarn shops in Houston on your tour. Hint. Hint...

Hi Susan, I met you (again) in Salt Lake City at the Wool cabin in November. Love, Love, Love, your books and toys. Bonnie
I'm delightfully working my way through the Itty Bitty Toys and loving them all. I haven't done the giraffe yet. Actually, I'm almost having trouble not doing more ducks and puppies!
Lili and me would loves from Hungary! This is my favorite knitted animal!
Count me in! He is one of my favorites from what I have seen of the book. Yep it's true - I don't have it yet. It hasn't been at our local bookstore (Canada) yet. After Christmas I will be ordering it for sure. I'm hoping for enough time to make your adorable elf also. Thank you.
You are so generous, always giving away goodies! The giraffe is an amazing pattern and I would love to give him a try.
Happy holidays and happy knitting,

My DGG pages the book and points to "Girry" all the time. Girraffes were her mom's favorite too! Would love to make him up in the original yarn. Thank you for all of your generosity.
OH- so cute! I think my boys would take turns sleeping with him, until i knit another!
ooooh - another toy for the kiddies :)
thanks for the chance to win.

Susan - I'd love to make that giraffe (or any of your creations).

Me! Me! I'd love to make a giraffe. I've never made any animals yet but this looks like a wonderful first animal project to do!!!!!
Thanks for a chance to win.
I do! While I was making my Christmas list last night I showed my husband some of your patterns. I wanted to make sure the cupcake hat was in Itty Bitty Nursery before I put it on my list. My husband saw all the toys patterns and suggested I put Itty Bitty Toys on the list too because they all were so cute. =)
P.S. I received Itty Bitty Hats two years ago for Christmas and everyone loves the hats I've made from it.
P.P.S. I'm sarahdluck on ravelry.
Dear Susan - What a great day to knit and bake in Wisconsin! Glad you are home. I would love to make the giraffe - thank you for the contest.
Hope you have time to bake cookies this year.
Kay - Menasha, WI
Yay! The giraffe is adorable...my 18 month old would love it, I'm sure. I have both of your other books, but not the Toys one yet; hopefully it'll be under the tree for me this year. thanks for all your great patterns! you are so talented and we're so lucky that you share that talent with us!
This is so cute! I love it so much!!
I'm home enjoying a snow day and this just makes it better! Oh, I love him! Your designs are adorable.
OH he is so cute! my kids would snuggle him till he is frayed with love. You are a inspiration Susan. Thanks for all you do and for being the reason I started knitting. I saw your Itty Bitty Hats book on a shelf at the craft store and knew I was destined to learn how to make those hats! And I have made 7 so far...and the braided scarf from the chole and spud site. Thanks so much for the hard work and inspiration! my email is emailthewoods@gmail.com
Hi Susan!
When are you coming to California? I'd just burst if I met you in person! Everything you share with us is SO juicy! Thank you for all of your hard work! Have a great week! Enjoy your time back at home with the family!

Hi Susan...
Much gratitude for your generosity!! Your blog is wonderful and really has become very fun to read/learn/explore...
Julie
Much Gratitude for your generosity Susan!!
We (My own collector and I) love reading your blog...exploring knitting shops/excursions, and getting creative with your help!!
I feel like you are a really good friend and we are grateful for your blog!
Julie and Sarah
WOW! I can't belive that I'm just reading this a couple of hours after you have posted it and you already have 359 comments! That's wonderful. Truly a testiment to your craft and all of us that love to knit along with you!
I'd love to enter into this contest! I don't have the book yet as I've put it on my Christmas wish list. If I don't get it you better believe that it will be one of the first things I do get for myself after the holidays!
Thanks so much for all that you do for us knitters! :)
You can ready me through my blog.
My son was so enamored with the giraffe at your Lakeside trunk show stop! (He's the one you photographed with the finger fruit on his hand.) I'd love to make him one!
Oh, pick me! Pick me! I'm on my third Wrap Me Up Puppy (all for my nieces for Christmas) and I'd love to make the giraffe too!

Oh dear, Susan - you already have 360 comments to read through. I feel bad about making you read even more! I live in Switzerland and have loved following you on your book tour. You made the places, shops, people - and your beautiful animals - come alive in such an appealing way. Reading your blog is more than just a knitting experience. Keep up the good work!
Love your little giraffe! My daughter would love one... I'd love to knit it for her!
Oh no, this is going to be just like Itty Bitty Hats. I'll start with the giraffe and end up having to make every single one of these adorable toys! I'm excited and terrified about winning all at the same time. Must find friends who need knitted toys....
i would love to make the giraffe :) i had my daughter in august and haven't knitted a thing since...so i need something good to start back with! this is perfect!
That giraffe reminds me so much of a felt one my great-grandmother made for me when I was a baby.That guy (with some sort of stick in his neck to keep his head from flopping over, still resides in my Rubbermaid container of childhood memorabilia.
Hi Susan~ I love knitting your toys and although I don't always follow the color pattern it would be great to do just that for this little guy. My niece and Nephew turn 1 early Jan and it would definatly be for them :) I have elephante in my living room (I'm a huge elephant fan) and I've made them some hats. Always looking for fun little projects for them. Keep up the great work I enjoy hearing about your adventures! ~Chef Abbie Centenennial CO
That guy reminds me so much of a felt giraffe my great-grandmother made for me when I was a baby. He had a stick in his neck to keep him from flopping over. I think he resides in a big Rubbermaid container of childhood memorabilia.
Of course my kids had the same reaction to your book as you have seen around: they have a list of toys for me to knit... Thank you for your beautiful designs, enjoy the Season with your loved ones!

Oh please enter me into this fun contest. YOU bet I'd love to knit a Griraffe. Thanks for the chance.
The Giraffe is simply darling! I want to add that when I saw your Itty Bitty Hats/Toys books, I was inspired to learn to knit! I've been working my way through the books and now my grandkids have quite a collection of hats and toys!

I heard you're coming to Loop in Philly, can't wait!
Giraffe's are my absolute favorite and have put this on my list of things to make. However, gifts for others always seem to take a priority -- you know how it goes.
Susan - you are the best!
All the babies I know already have an itty bitty hat! And I just got Itty Bitty Toys yesterday and have been obsessing over where to start for the past 24 hours!

You are always so generous! Today is London's second birthday, so I think it is our lucky day to win the makings for a giraffe! :) BTW, I love that rose pillow next to your giraffe. :)
I do I do - and this weekend I am slated to finally squeeze out enough minutes to do that handsome elf. I bought wild red and lime green. Cannot wait. Thanks for all the fun in your blogs. I feel like a friend is emailing me everyday.

I love that giraffe! Super cute and I asked for the book for Christmas. Hopefully, Santa will leave it under the tree.
That is adorable. Your an amazing designer. Best Wishes.
Had to laugh -- Offer give something away that's THIS cute and the lurkers come out of the woodwork! Me included! :D

Your blog has been like a breath of fresh air to me. Thank you for the role you have played in encouraging me to knit. I truly do "just want to knit!" Can't wait to make some toys for my kids! --Kara
The Giraffe is my favorite, and with a brand new cousin in the family what a perfect holiday knit. I have a feeling she will be receiving many toys from your book. Thanks, see you Saturday!
Aw, he is the cutest giraffe ever and I would love to knit him.
Susan - As one of your many followers, I so enjoy your designs and blogs. I have the Itty-Bitty Nursery and Itty-Bitty books and am hoping Santa will deliver your newest book for Christmas. I have been instructed not to buy it - ( I want it Now), so things are looking good that it will be under the tree. The Giraffe is one of my favorites in your book,so without a doubt I would love to win this offer. How do you do all the things you do with four children?
I just bought your book and just love it. I would love to make the Giraffe. He is so cute. Thanks so much.
I would LOVE to knit the giraffe for my girls! It's one of the patterns from your new book in my queue that I can't wait to begin!
I'd love to knit this cute giraffe for my nephew! Thank you Susan!
