A Fun Mess

Edited to Add: The book giveaway contest is now closed, March 1, 2011! No further entries are being taken!!

Hi Knitters,
I have piles and stacks and boxes and bins and shelves and cubbies..... and they are all filled to the brim. Here is a quick run down of my knitty mess.

Above is a sock yarn designed by my buddy, Kristin Nicholas. I got this two years ago from Kristin at TNNA and have just started some socks. It is called Best Foot Forward in the Berry Cobbler colorway. The yarn is a treat and the colors are definitely all Kristin. As I knit I keep the ball band up so I can see it as it has Kristin's artwork and signature right there. I love that.
TC has been busy knitting preemie hats for a charity knit on the Itty-Bitty Knits group on Ravelry. She is pretty excited about it. She has one more on the needles.
There is that second Zauberball sock from The Wool Cabin.
I have piles of finished projects. Here we have the Spud & Chloë Fine striped socks I've mentioned several times before (no pattern is available!). The finished Zauberball sock, and my latest top-down baby cardi that will be available as a free pattern on Spud says! any day now.
Loads of Blue Sky Alpacas Royal (it's way better than cashmere) and Spud & Chloë Outer. I'm not complaining.
There are several boxes and envelopes of goods from my publisher, Artisan Books, to give to the students in my Spud & Chloë at the Farm class this weekend.

Hey, I put the project photos up for Spud & Chloë at the Farm on Ravelry if you'd like to see a little bit of what's inside. Click here to see the projects!
This box is huge and it is stuffed full of goodies from Spud & Chloë and Blue Sky to pass out at the class. I love giving fun things away so this will make me very happy.
Speaking of which...
I am giving away two books today. The first book is Cowl Girls by Cathy Carron and the publisher is Sixth & Spring. This is a great little book full of cowls of all sorts, big, small, short, tall, long, cabled, colorwork, stitch patterns, hoods, wraps, chunky, etc.
This is actually Cathy's daughter modeling. That's cool. She has modeled for Quince & Co., too.
Great photography and lots of good, quick and doable projects equals a fun book to own.
I have been a fan of Cathy's work for a long time. She is often published in Vogue Knitting and lots of other knitting magazines.

Now hang on...
I have a second book to win today as well!

This second book, Entrelac, by Rosemary Drysdale is another winner. I listened to Rosemary on Marly's Yarnthing podcast awhile back. Rosemary is just wonderful. (I just saw Cathy Carron was on there, too. Click here.)
This book shares entrelac stitch patterns like I have never seen before. It is just beautiful and well-done. What a resource.
Have you ever seen anything like this? I haven't.
There are gorgeous entrelac patterns, too. They are graceful and beautiful.
There are garments, scarves, bags, vests, wraps, and much more. It is an incredible collection.
I mean look at this leaf entrelac pattern. The book is a keepsake for your stitch library at the least and at the most you will love making the patterns, too. It's a good one.

Okay, here's how we are playing today! There will be two winners, one per book. Leave one comment on this blog post (please do not email me, you have to get on the blog and leave a comment). In your comment please leave me the following information:
- your rav id or email
-which book you would prefer either Entrelac or Cowlgirls or if you don't care which one you win!

I will pick the winners in a couple of days.

Have fun! Good luck!
Into the weekend I run.
best, susie

Kristen's sock yarn is delicious; I'm going to have to find that soon! I'd like to win the entralac book. I bought the Cowl book after (over)hearing 2 gals talk about it in Starbucks at Vogue Knitting Live. Can't wait to receive my new Spud and Chloe book!

Dagny said...

Hi Susan, I purchased Itty Bitty Hats two months ago. I have become addicted to knitting those precious hats. I am a beginner and was so thrilled when I could do something other than rectangles. I have had three new babies in the family, so guess what I am giving for gifts. It has been so much fun. The new mommies are so excited when they open baby's gift. Your book has opened up a whole new world for me. Now I just have to get it back from my Daughter. Ha Ha! I think it would be a real hoot to win the Cowl Girls book. bu2321@comcast.net

Oh love to see TC knit baby hats for a good cause. I saw the Cowl Girls in the knit picks catalog today...would be awesome if I won it. my rav name is becks031979. Have a great weekend.

Woo hoo! Can't pass up a giveaway by Susan. I think I would like to win the Entrelac one b/c I haven't tried that technique before.
Sweet, sweet TC knitting up those charity caps for preemies. I hope my daughters are as generous and thoughtful and creative like her.
I love your mess, Susan. It's the best kind of stuff.

And I pre-ordered your Spud & Chloe on the Farm book today! Once I saw the Ravelry projects, I couldn't resist. And in other news, I have a 5-month-old daughter, and we take monthly shots of her in front of the giraffe I made from your IB Toys book. It's so fun to watch her grow in proximity to it!

I must learn how to do this.

I pre-ordered my copy of Spud and Chloe at the Farm yesterday on Amazon! Can't wait 'til it arrives! I'd love to have either book! My friend ordered the Cowlgirls book and it is awesome...and I just found an entrelac pattern that I am wanting to try!! Can't wait for the pattern for "Hello, Baby"...my newest grandbaby is due any day!

Both books look so fun, I've never done Entralac and all the pictures I've seen of the Cowl patterns are amazing. Thanks for entering me!

PS. I love the best foot forward yarn, I am definitely going to have to pick some up soon.

Awesome giveaway!

Wow, gorgeous pics!! I'm so addicted to knitting books, it's crazy--it's hard to choose one, but if I had to pick, I would say I would most likely knit something out of Cowl Girls before I have a chance to do a bigger project in the entrelac book (darn grad school gets in the way of knitting!). Thanks for the chance of winning :-)

I live in a village in Southern Ontario but am currently wintering in Victoria BC. Friends took me to see Seattle and while there I visited a Barnes and Noble Bookstore. There was one copy of Itty Bitty Toys on the shelf. When I left, there were none on the shelf. I owned it. I can hardly wait to start on some of the very sweet projects. Would love to win a book.

I have seen Cowl Girls - wonderful book! Would love to win either book. Thank you!

Greengirl said...

I have both your give away books and they're great. Entralac is not difficult when you use this book. Great instructions. I would love to take your class Susan, buy you are too far away for me. Can't wait to get the book. Is it available now???

Your mess looks like my mess and I intend to spend this snowy day tackling it and whipping it into shape.

The Cowl book looks great, but the entralac book is exciting! That leaf pattern is stunning! I would be thrilled to win either! My amazon pre-order of Spud and Chloe on the farm is taunting me - can't wait to make a barnful for my kids!

Keep it up - love seeing all your gorgeous knitting. I am a L&D nurse and we appreciate those hats more than TC can imagine - especially ones that are so lovely and made with such love.
