EDITED 4/20/2013: CONTEST HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO SUNDAY, 4/28/2013!
What (Else) Would Madame Defarge Knit? got a long, glowing review from Doctor Gemma of the CogKnitive podcast recently. As usual, she made my head swell so much, I could barely leave the room I was in afterwards.
Highlights:
"Total home run, out of the park....What's not to love?...
I would make anything in this book, and I would love it....
The first book is good, but they took a good thing and made it better."
In celebration, I'm going to give away a copy of the ebook version of What (Else) Would Madame Defarge Knit? AND a set of Anne Kuo Lukito's practical, adorable gift tags:
To enter, go take a look at What (Else) Would Madame Defarge Knit?, then comment on this post (NOT on Facebook!) and tell me which item(s) you would be most likely to knit as gifts for others. I will pull one random name on Saturday, April 20th and send the lucky person the book and the gift cards.
Good luck!
Ahab's Aran Gansey - here's hoping!
ReplyDeleteLovely patterns in this new book! The Counting Crows mittens would make a lovely gift for someone I know. Congratulations :)
ReplyDeletePerfect timing. There's a pretty terrific young lady who now lives WAY too far away from me since I moved. I'd love to knit her the Comfort of a Friend, for her and one of her many American Girl dolls...
ReplyDeleteGreat job Erica :)
Definately comfort of a friend shawl!!
ReplyDeleteI would knit the Smashing Cap :)
ReplyDeleteLaura-Louise's Layette would make a wonderful baby gift!
ReplyDeleteI love the Foundling Mitts (twisted version).
ReplyDeleteMrs. Bennet's Fluttering Lace Hankie would be the first knit, then maybe the Smashing cuffs and cap. I love them all.
ReplyDeleteOh the Anna Makarovna socks for my mom, who even in summer has cold toes.
ReplyDeleteMarilla's Shawl, because it's just *right* that there be something from AoGG,and The Land of Counterpane as a lap robe for my mom, who read that (and everything else in A Child's Garden of Verses:-) to me over and over as a child.
ReplyDeleteBen Weatherstaff's Friend would be a perfect little toy for some of the little people in my life. The Marilla's shawl is also gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAnna Makarovna's Socks would make a lovely gift for someone. Also, now that I know my first grandchild will be a girl, Laura-Louise's Layette would be a perfect gift.
ReplyDeleteMm, Anna Makarovna's socks. Though it's possible they might end up being a gift for me.
ReplyDeleteI love the colorwork Foundling Mitts! Everyone I know loves a good pair of mitts/fingerless gloves.
ReplyDeleteLove the The Jumble Sale Kimono for the Widow Mayhew's Daughter -- beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to knit Marillia's Shawl for a kindred spirit!
ReplyDeleteMarilla's shawl would be a wonderful gift to receive.
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely knit Hester's Hope Shawl. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely knit the comfort of a friend shawl for my nieces.
ReplyDeleteI'd knit Fosco's Pret-pret-pretties for a friend, and maybe also Penelope's shawl.
ReplyDeleteYour blanket is lovely! I would probably start with the Comfort of a Friend shawl. What little girl doesn't need a pretty lace shawl to be her "gateway drug" into the fiber arts?
ReplyDeleteMarilla's shawl - definitely!
ReplyDeletePenelope's shawl is so simple and lovely. Perfect for me!
ReplyDeleteThose Smashing Cuffs look like the perfect quick knit gift to me!
ReplyDeleteI really want to knit Laura-Louise's Layette for someone, but there are so many wonderful gift ideas in this book. I love it!
ReplyDeleteBen Weatherstaff's Friend - absolutely have to make that plus I would make Laura-Loise's Layette. The friend would be for me and the layette would be a gift.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely make Laura-Louise Layette for my brother and SIL's impending baby. So precious! I would also like to make the Penelope shawl.
ReplyDeleteThe Anna Makarovna socks would be my first item to knit and gift. They are so sweet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteI would make the Counting Crows mittens - for my sister who lives in chilly Toronto!
ReplyDeleteI love counting crows but realistically - I live in a fairly warm country - so it would probably be the Foundling Mitts (colourwork version) - they are gorgeous and far more usable. I love it when people use the gifts I knit..
ReplyDeleteSarah Crewe's Hat (KnittingMom9)
ReplyDeleteThe Land of Counterpane- I am on a blanket kick, and my sister in law is expecting a sweet baby in September!
ReplyDeleteMiss Jane Bennet's Fingerless Ball Gloves ... or either version of Founding Mitts.
ReplyDeleteAlso Ben Weatherstaff's Friend, just because :D
I would make Ben Weatherstaff's Friend for my mom for sure!

The Laura-Louise's Layette- it is so sweet and cute and I love to knit for friend's babies!

I have a friend (or a few!) who would love Miss Jane Bennet's Fingerless Ball Gloves. (WordLily on Rav)
ReplyDeleteSo hard to choose, though The Jumble Sale Kimono for the Widow Mayhew's Daughter is really, really pretty!
ReplyDeleteAnn ( knitzippy on rav)
Love the Counting Crow mittens. They would be a great gift for my daughter, but would truthfully never leave my hands once knitted!
ReplyDeleteComfort of a Friend Shawl. I'm been wanting to sink my needles into it since Dr. Gemma's glowing endorsement.

The Jumble Sale Kimono for the Widow Mayhew's Daughter would be my first choice, but there are many others as well.
