This prize pack includes:
The Knitting Directory, by Alison Jenkins
I bought this book a while back at the
Itsy Bitsy Yarn Store, our local yarn shop. It's a great little book with some cute stitch patterns and I'm a little bit sad to see it go, but I already have a good stitch dictionary. This is a good little beginner knitter's book, and since I'm a filthy enabler, I'm happy to pass this on to someone els
e.
Look at these great little heading! There's
Equipment and Basic Techniques,
Simple Stitch Library,
Advanced Work,
Creating Your Own Designs and Adding Decorative Details, and
Finishing, so it's got everything you need to know to help you get through a project.
Plus it's spiral bound, so no fighting with the bloody thing while you try to follow instructions!
AND IT'S SO PRETTY! I love the colours (despite how...blue it looks right here) and how clear the instructions are.
So if you'd like a chance to win, please comment below! I'm looking at you, "I can't knit"-ters, "I'm just beginning"-ers, and "I haven't knit in forever"-ers! And anyone else who'd like this book, of course. ;) The book has some great stitch patterns in here that any experienced knitter would appreciate too!
And don't forget to let me know how I can reach you if you win! Link to an email in a profile, Ravelry account, or note it below. GOOD LUCK!
I've read/lurked around your blogs for years and you finally got a comment out of me! I love how real you are. Also, I'd love to win this book. My cousin guided me through a knitting project a few years ago, but I never went much further. Now with small ones in the house, I want to pick up a quieter hobby than sewing to do during nap times.

There are so many amazing and helpful books available now-anyone should be able to learn quite well from them. One of these dayss I hope to get past the 'beginner' stage I've been in for the last several years.
ReplyDeleteGah I need to get into knitting like I need to get, oh, a tattoo on my forehead saying, "Too many UFOs". But this is a lovely book and, really, I could get into knitting ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow! What a cool giveaway week! I'd love to see the aurora from a high latitude one day - I've seen a couple in the south of the south island here in New Zealand, but they tend to be just green in colour as we're only about 48 degrees south. Cool book - I'm very much a bunny knitter so it looks great. If I win I'll pay postage though! (My email is my username here followed by nz@gmail.com).
ReplyDeleteI love your blog too, but I'm never one to comment on blogs (although we've been KAAL buddies in at least 3 KALs, and I comment lots there, not sure what the difference is for me...) :) But I'm a nerd about stitch dictionaries, I take them out of the library all the time! Thanks for the chance to win. :) Dana (DanaRae19 on Rav)
