Hi, Knitters,
All photos in today's post are provided by Alana Dakos.
I am back today with another double giveaway! The giveaway today features one of my favorite designers, Alana Dakos. A short while back she released the children's book called, Annie and the Swiss Cheese Scarf. I pre-ordered my deluxe set immediately. This book is a children's picture book that tells the story of a child wanting to learn to knit and how she does just that. At the back of the book there is a knitting instruction section to teach a child to knit. The story is sweet (it is based on Alana's experiences with her own young daughter) and the illustrations are wonderful.
Here is the description from the website:

The Deluxe Edition Gift Set includes paper dolls (my favorite thing!), stickers, the hardcover book, and a puzzle. It all comes in a neat and tidy box. The set is high quality and just fun and clever! I love everything about the set.
I'll tell you how to win your own deluxe set for Annie and the Swiss Cheese Scarf at the end of the post!
That Alana is a speedy one as she has now released another collection called, Botanical Knits, and it is simply lovely. She offers twelve gorgeous designs inspired by trees and foliage. Included are fingerless mitts, mittens, cardigans, sweaters, hats, a scarf, a shawl and socks. As always, each project is thoughtful and meticulously designed, Alana is a master. I especially love the cardigans and sweater and would love to knit them all.
Below are some important links for you about Alana and the Botanical Knits collection:
Click here to see all of Alana's designs on Ravelry! She's so talented.
Here is Alana's description of Botanical Knits and the details on how you can order:
Botanical Knits: Twelve Designs inspired by trees and foliage incorporates the natural beauty of plant life into twelve garments and accessories. Included in the twelve are four sweaters for every occasion, a stylish cloche, a matching pair of textured socks and mittens, and an elegant leaf-bordered wrap. Each botanically inspired piece offers both charted and written pattern instructions that are easy to follow and fun to knit.
Purchase the ebook today OR pre-order the printed book HERE for $22 plus shipping at BotanicalKnits.com.
The book is scheduled to arrive in May, but everyone who pre-orders the printed version will receive a complimentary e-book to download right away. This will allow you to get started on your favorite projects while you wait for your book to arrive. As an additional “thank you” for pre-ordering the printed version, I will include a NEW, EXTRA botanically inspired pattern along with your book shipment.
These Spring Foliage Mitts are so sweet and fun. I love the leafy motifs throughout the book.
Autumn's End is an allover lace pattern sweater with clever shaping panels tucked into the sides. I am planning on knitting this one up soon. It's just beautiful.
The Twigs and Willows cardigan is my personal favorite in the book. It is a simple, classic cardigan with a single branch and leaf motif in the yoke. The cardigan is knit in pieces and seamed and the yarn is Shelter by Brooklyn Tweed.
Alana is an incredibly talented knitter, designer and pattern writer. You will love this leaf-inspired book!

Ooh! I have been following Coastal Knits on Ravelry and LOVE the patterns. AND I have a son and daughter who both recognize Mommy's love of yarn and knitting and want to learn. My one-year-old daughter, Anna, will have to wait until her fine motor skills develop a little more! Haha!
I would love to win "Annie and the Swiss-Cheese Scarf" for my munchkins. I'll just buy Alana's patterns because they are beautiful and a must-have for my collection. :)

What a super give-away. Thank you. I agree with you, in that my favourite design is also the Twig & Willow Sweater, so naturally that is the book I would love to win.
Alex (AJane on Ravelry)
These books are both amazing! Alana seems like such a sweet person and her designs/books are amazing! Thank you for the chance to win! Botanical Knits would be my favorite since I bought the Annie book for my daughter for Christmas. ( : Thank you! Stephanie (indigodogmt on Ravelry)
I love both books, and, like you, am especially drawn to the cardigan pattern with the leafy detail on its shoulder. But my book choice would have to be the children's knitting one about Annie and the Swiss Cheese Scarf. With two little granddaughters, who have been the recipients of my own Swiss-cheesy projects, I long for day when one of them will say to me, as I said to my Grandma Elsie, "Do you mean to tell me that out of that piece of string you are going to make me a sweater? This I have to see!"
I did get the Annie book for my nieces (Christmas gift ) but my little ones thought it was so cute they wanted one too.
I would either book, all her work is lovely!
nevh926@gmail.com
I adore the Botanical Knits book. And my 7yo son has learned to knit and loves it, so I'd be thrilled to win either one!
I love Alana! What a great giveaway!
My little grandniece would definitely love the Swiss Cheese Scarf book set, and who wouldn't love all those wonderful designs by Alana. I'd be so honored to receive either book. You decide!
Love your Web site!! Big hugs,

Thanks for a chance to win Susan! I think my girls (and boy!) would love the Annie book. They all have an interest in knitting, even at the young ages of 7, 5 and 3. But mom would love to win either. I love Alana's designs and am so excited she is publishing even more knit patterns! Thanks again! tbmccarthy on Rav
I already own the Annie book so would love to win the botanical knits. motifs from nature are so inspiring.
Love the books and would be happy to have either of them.
I would love to read the tale of Annie's Swiss Cheese Scarf to my new granddaughter when she gets a little older. Can't wait 'til she says " Grammy, will you teach me to knit?"

Thanks-

I have been waiting on pins and needles for the Botanical Knits book ever since Alana showed a sneak peek on her blog. There is not one item in the collection that I wouldn't love to knit. RavID: Naycha
Great books! I've already faved several of the patterns.
