Month: April 2008

I’ve got one copy of Erika Knight’s Classic Knits at Home to give away! (Also see my give away of Twinkle’s Weekend Knits, one post down!)

This is a gorgeous book that makes me wish I lived in that particular house! There are 15 patterns total for various around-the-house knits, using simple textures and gorgeous yarns to produce luxurious pieces that really would “keep forever”. I’m quite inspired by a few projects in particular – a circular rug worked in hemp with short rows; a big chunky floor cushion knit from bulky yarn, and the patchwork hexagon blanket on the cover. Even the knitted plant pot covers, as improbable as they might be, are rather cute!

Somehow, though, I don’t see myself getting to any of these patterns anytime soon (not the least of which is because I don’t have a house to decorate), so I want to give it to someone who’ll appreciate it!

Time for a book giveaway! I’ve got one copy of Twinkle’s Weekend Knits to give away.

This book showcases Wenlan Chia’s signature style of chunky knits and features patterns for various tops, sweaters, and lots of accessories. It’s a fair bit smaller then her other book, both in size and content, and focuses on smaller items like hats and scarves which would knit up super quick in crazy bulky yarn. If you love Twinkle, you’ll love this book!
