book giveaway!

And the winners are (thanks to the random number generator): comments #81 and #183 sharmie and knittaroo! Thanks everyone! The winners will hear from me later today.

first off, thanks to all who purchased the september circle pattern. your purchases over the last 2 months mean that i'll be able to donate $235.00 to pancan.org this week. thank you so much.

i just spent the whole weekend working on patterns for upcoming designs. 4 down, 3 to go! so, while i spend the rest of the evenings this week finishing up the others, i thought it would be the perfect time for a little book giveaway. i've been meaning to do this for months, but now is as good a time as any, right?

so, if you'd like to win a copy of New England Knits, just leave a comment on this post. (leaving a comment requires you to leave an email address, which is only visible to me, so that's how i'll contact you) i have 2 copies to give away, so your chances are pretty good! if you already have a copy, you can win one for a friend or to donate to your local library!

i will accept comments until midnight on Friday November 12, 2010. I'll announce the winner the next day.

Love the book!! Beautiful designs! In fact, I have a copy so I feel a little like a piggy trying to score another, but I have a dear friend who would be absolutely thrilled to get a surprise gift from me (and you).
Thanks for the opportunity.

This is the first pattern book that I've totally fallen in love with for some time. Not just a few nice patterns, but item after item that I desperately want to knit: Chelsea, Ashfield, Groveland, Greenfield. Also makes me realize that it has been far too long since I visited New England!

Posted by: Eileen Brokaw | November 10, 2010 09:19 AM

I have my very own signed copy of your wonderful book that you and Cecily signed at Hub Mills. But I have a friend fighting breast cancer who loved 3 of the items I have already made and would love to gift her with the book. Truly, it's the best pattern book I have bought in years. On my 4th project. Thanks!

Posted by: jan | November 10, 2010 09:42 AM

Wonderful! I've been on the verge of buying it because he library copy is always out, but I'll hold out in case I get lucky. Thanks!

Hurray you're back! How is Miss Rae? We've added a new girl kitten to our house to keep our boy cat company. I think the energetic game of chase last night suggests they are (mostly) getting along. Thank you for the generous contest!

Posted by: Kathy | November 10, 2010 12:14 PM

Such lovely designs, I'm happy to try for a copy.

Read a review, written by Kathleen Cubley, of the hats in your book in the Knitting Daily newsletter. I usually just skim the newsletter, but the Brattleboro hat caught my eye so I decided to check out more of the patterns - they all look fantastic. Great job! Even if I don't win a copy, I plan to find a way to get one... Christmas is coming! :-)

Posted by: Lee | November 12, 2010 07:57 AM

Found you today through Knitting Daily. Would love to win the book

Posted by: Sue | November 12, 2010 09:26 AM

Sorry about your cat, I also lost my beloved Dusty. Tears get less, not sure they will ever go away.

Posted by: Hannah | November 12, 2010 02:28 PM

Hi Melissa,
I have to tell you, that I started knitting again after a long break (10 years) and I found over Ravelry your website. I'm so in love with all your pattern, specially the Brattleboro Hat. I will make that one for my daughter-in-law. She will have a blast, then one for me (maybe) and for my daughters. I have to get out my rusty needles, I brought over from Germany so may years ago. All I need it the pattern and if I should win the book, I will be set.

Posted by: Gabriele Taghizadeh | November 12, 2010 02:32 PM

I love your patterns! I already have a copy of New England knits, but definitely know someone who would welcome it.

Thanks!

Posted by: Thao | November 12, 2010 08:03 PM

Really proficient post. Theoretically I could write something like this too, but taking the time and effort to make a good article is a lot of effort…but what can I say….I’m a procrastinater. Good read though.
