november knits! a giveaway!
this month, another new pattern of mine appeared, but it was in the pages of a lovely new book.
november knits
my design is a first for me... legwarmers! i wanted something classic, legwarmers in a style that i would like to wear. i think that some ribbing, small, simple cables, and seed stitch achieve that. there is some shaping in these to accommodate the calf. they're fitted, not slouchy.
there are so many great designs in this book, below are just a few. if you hop on over to the november knits amazon page
the authors, kate and courtney, have generously given me an extra copy to give away! leave a comment on this post by the end of the day on 11/30/12 est, and i'll announce a winner the next day. i will ship to any country. thanks so much!

I have been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.
