Hi Knitters,
I have a HUGE giveaway offer for you today. Alana Dakos of the Never Not Knitting blog and podcast (I subscribe through itunes) fame sent me a complete package of her brand new printed pattern line to share with all of you. I couldn't be more excited to bring you a chance to win a complete set of 13 beautifully crafted printed patterns today!
For a complete rundown of Alana's patterns please click here to see her Ravelry page where you can find all of the information you may need. If you do look on her Ravelry project page you will see that all of her patterns are extremely popular. She is an excellent pattern writer and the best part is that these patterns have been out online for awhile. This means they have literally been knit up hundreds and hundreds of times already. You can be sure that the patterns are top-notch and written clearly.
The patterns include socks, shawls, a cowl, children's sweaters and dresses, a woman's tee and a hat. The size ranges are plentiful. There is something here that every knitter could use and would want to knit. I personally would love to knit every single one of these gorgeous patterns! I am sincerely going to sneak in knitting at least one or two of these very soon.
Now, if you are wondering where to purchase these printed patterns please click here to see all of Alana's current stockists. The printed patterns are being sold through local yarn shops at this time.
If you are a yarn shop owner and want to carry Alana's printed pattern line in your shop (which I highly suggest you do), please click here to find out about her wholesale information.
If you would like to purchase any of these pattern online in pdf format, please click here for Alana's Ravelry pattern store!
I have to say that in this day of pdf (hot off my junky home printer) patterns, it is just darn nice to have a beautiful sturdy set of ready to use patterns. I miss that very much. The patterns feel like keepsakes, heirlooms, something to have and to cherish and to use again and again. I really mean that. These are special and you can literally see the love and painstaking effort that went into each and every one of the patterns.
Here are the 13 impressive patterns that are included in today's giveaway. Hang onto your hat. The following patterns will take your breath away:
The Cosette Wrap
The Cedar Leaf Shawlette
The Shawl Collared Cowl
The Spring Garden Tee (for women)
Amelie Socks
Haltermelon
Watermelon
Playful Stripes
Chloƫ
Spring Garden Tee (for kids)
Very Cherry dress
Sheepish

Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to win the set of 13 gorgeous, beautiful, clever and smart patterns. I really think this is one of the best giveaways I have ever had the chance to host. Alana is a true design talent. She is detail oriented to a fault. I love her blog and her podcast, I never miss an episode. She is just plain cute and fun.
To enter to win the full set of 13 patterns please leave one and only one comment on this post. Please do not email me to enter. Please leave your email address or ravelry name so I can easily get in touch with you to get your mailing address.
In a few days or so I will randomly select one winner from the comment pool. After gathering your mailing address, I will give it to Alana so she can send you the set of patterns.
That's right! I am keeping my pattern set forever and ever! It's that good.
Best of luck to you all. Let the comments begin. I think this is going to be a good one!
best, susie
