Scrumptious Knits: A Review and Giveaway!
Welcome... to the next stop on the Scrumptious Knits blog tour and I'm thrilled to share this book with you! Earlier this winter Carol Feller self-published a lovely booklet in cooperation with Fyberspates Yarn entitled Scrumptious Knits... have you seen it?
Scrumptious Knits is a striking collection of 7 patterns. It contains 3 garments and 4 accessories, all knit from Fyberspates
Scrumptious yarn in a range of weights from lace weight all the way up to
chunky. The patterns are available individually or as a pdf booklet through Carol's site, and it are also available in a printed book through Fyperspates. Carol and her husband work together on the photography, I love the style that they have developed together. I first became aware of their dynamic when I saw Carol's first book, Contemporary Irish Knits... how great to have your photographer live at home with you!
If I had all the time in the world (and more hands!) I'd be knitting the sweater from the cover Ignus... I love belted sweater tunics with skirts in the winter and I think Ignus would be stunning styled this way.
Another design I adore is the Haruna Hat... I'm pretty smitten with cloche style hats, and the shaping and detail on this design is stunning!
See the delicate detailing on the top? LOVE IT!
So, I bet you want to know about this giveaway, right? Well, Carol has offered to giveaway a pdf version of Scrumptious Knits AND Fyberspates is offering up a skein of Scrumptious DK in plum to knit your very own Haruni, how generous is that?
To Enter: Leave a comment below... I'd love to hear which design in the book you love! Don't forget, I'll need a way to get in touch with you if you win! Comments will be open until April 30 at 12 EST.
It is hard to pick just one ,but if I had to choose I think it would be either the Flama shawl such a graceful drape or Taupo just love how this is constructed! Charlene
ReplyDeleteI love Ignus but my favorite has to be the Haruna set - the gloves as well as the hat. Beautiful details and SUCH a gorgeous color!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with the Taupo pattern. It is very "me" and I think I would love knitting and wearing it. I would make ALL of the patterns in this collection, though!
ReplyDeleteI think my favorites are Bakersville and the Flama shawl. Both have such great details that I find myself drawn to these days.
ReplyDeleteHaruna hat is great, but Flama shawl is also tempting...
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE the sweaters in the book!
ReplyDeleteI love the Haruna hat!
ReplyDeleteThe Haruna hat and gloves set is pretty special. So classy!
ReplyDeleteI love them all but I think Bakersville is my favorite. I would love to win this.

I absolutely love Ignus

I love the Haruna Hat but would be pleased to knit any of her designs!
ReplyDeleteJust one?!? I absolutely love Scrumptious Knits!
ReplyDeleteFlama is so simple & elegant. Haruna would be my go-to hat on cold wet mornings. Tuapo would be so fun to knit & would get worn more, given our very short winters. Bakersville is so elegant for a hoodie! But my love lies with Ignus.

Bakersville is my fav from this collection. The interesting stitch patterns and the hood will excite my 3 DD to fight over who gets the first one off the needles. (they all wear the same size)
ReplyDeleteThese are all great patterns, I'd probably make them all. My favorite would have to be the Ignus sweater... stunning!
ReplyDeleteAll the patterns are beautiful! I guess I like Bakersville the best. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteLove the whole book! It would be a nice addition to my very small collection of knitting books!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely work! I think my favorite is Taupo. I love that yarn color!

I love the Haruna Hat. Thanks for the chance to win. Runningscheer on Ravelry.
ReplyDeleteHi Laura. I love the Scrupmtious yarn and in fact am knitting a shawl with the fingering weight as we speak. The book looks lovely - I especially like Flama - being a lace shawl which can incorporate beads! Thanks for the giveaway. C
ReplyDeleteI think Ignus is probably my favorite as well! But the whole collection is so lovely it's hard to choose...
ReplyDeleteI love the Haruna Hat, as well. And that color is georgous!! Pick Me!!! Pick Me!!! Rav id: jhoops7
ReplyDeleteIgnus is my favourite too... I'm a sucker for cables. But they're all such lovely designs!
ReplyDeleteI want to make Taupo Shawl and Flama gloves....
ReplyDeleteI'm Loves2Dance on Ravelry.
I love the Haruna gloves and hat, but I'm really in love with Bakersville, it is just plain gorgeous!

The cover sweater caught my eye. I like to wear belted tunic sweaters. nikbleu on Ravelry
ReplyDeleteI like the Taupo, and I'm intrigued by the description of the unique construction.
ReplyDelete"MeanderingHome" on Ravelry
My favourite is Ignus - I love the shaping of it, the way the cable works its way up, twists and gives the sweater/tunic a unique look. Love to knit - seems my list is getting longer and longer! (Nadine / Kizuta on Ravelry)
ReplyDeleteThe Ignus is fabulous!! I'll have to add that to my queue and make it soon. :D
ReplyDeleteI love the Haruna hat and would also like to try the Flama shawl.
ReplyDeletesisterrobinson on ravelry.
They are all really great-looking patterns. I'd love to make Ignus and the Vesuvius cowl looks intriguing, too.
ReplyDeleteBakersville or Ignus are both great and make it hard for me to decide which I like more. Think I'd make Bakersville first.
ReplyDeletebloomgirlknits on Ravelry
Those are all really cute, but my favorite is Vesuvius. Which is funny as a usually don't care for cowls.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a feminine design. SO creative and stylish
ReplyDeleteCaptiva Wrap - it's a beauty!
ReplyDeleteI like the Flama Shawl and would love to knit the Haruna Hat in that plum yarn.
ReplyDeleteI'm really taken with the Haruna Hat. It's so fun and unique!
ReplyDeleteOoh I hadn't seen this book yet, so many cute designs! I love the Bakersville hoodie :)
ReplyDeleteThat plum yarn is so pretty and I really like the Haruna Hat, but my favorite is the Ignus sweater. I"m a sucker for cables and I love the cowl neck too.
ReplyDeleteOh, are you kidding.
ReplyDeleteTaupo has been on my radar
Love the detail in the back.
I can just see me wearing this baby.
I like the haruna hat.
ReplyDeleteschwipknits@gmail.com
Bakersville is my fav!
ReplyDeleteI love Bakersville!!

I am really into shawls right now Flama is different and looks fun.
ReplyDeletecarol is lovely! i especially love ignus and the taupe vest my mail giodibi (@) gmail.com
ReplyDeleteWould love to have a copy of the book.
ReplyDeleteThe yarn is beautiful...
ReplyDeleteI think I would have to make Ignus... it looks comfortable, and it buttons up. The yarn looks so wonderful as well, soft, lush, warm, not scratchy at all.
ReplyDeletetina@knitravel.com
If I had to choose just one it would be the Flama shawl.
ReplyDeleteOOOOh, Ignus is fabulous , a brilliant combo of traditional and contemporary,...and the blue yarn is absolutely perfect. Yummy !
ReplyDeleteRoxyrana on Ravelry.
Can't decide between the Vesuvius cowl or the Haruna hat as my favorites. But being small, I could make both!
ReplyDeleteJulibeth
i really love the haruna hat and gloves! gibbles_n_bits@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for a cabled pullover, so my fav is Ignus. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
ReplyDeleteTaupo is my favorite from this collection. The construction is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteJaneSezKnit on Ravelry
I kind of love them all, maybe Ignus the most.
ReplyDeletenaomil1@verizon.net
Hey Rockstar! I bet Ignus would flatter most body shapes... (kinda like a Lanesplitter)
ReplyDeleteSaw the book at my LYS and think the sweater would be great to knit plus a challenge.
ReplyDeleteKatbrown (on Rav)
I really like the Bakersville cardigan, but all the other patterns are really beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteBeKKnits on Ravelry
Bakersville! Totally Bakersville! Its got such beautiful detail and I love the hoodie and the buttons and the pockets! Love, love, love! alainam@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI love the Haruna hat and Ignus! cindymen96@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteIt's got to be the Haruna Gloves, which I know Mom would love.
ReplyDeleteI love the Flama shawl. The combination of lace and garter stitch is striking.
ReplyDeleteI love Haruna hat. I'm currently on a hat kick.
ReplyDeleteI love shawls (the other day someone called me a "shawl demon", haha) and I really like Flama- the simlicity and beading are stunning!
ReplyDeleteI think my favourie is Bakersville.

I love the Haruna hat!!! Purlingknitty on Raverly :)
ReplyDeleteLove the Haruni hat.
ReplyDeleteThat hat is just lovely! I am definitely an accessory knitter these days. I never have time to knit sweaters or larger items. But, this hat could definitely jump to the front of my queue!!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the Bakersville hoodie, it looks light and snuggly at the same time. I really want to start knitting my own sweaters and cardigans rather than buying them.
ReplyDeleteLittleMischief on Ravelry
Love that Haruna cloche- and the amazing color it's shown in!
ReplyDeleteThe Haruna Cloche would look great at the Fingerlake Fiber Festival and the yarn color is so me. Thanks for the contest.
ReplyDeleteAzknitlady1 on Ravelery
My favourite is Ignus tunic but Haruni set is also very lovely.
ReplyDeletekaresj on Ravelry
The Haruna cloche and gloves are my favorites. Very stylish! I love the yarn color too. Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI love the Haryana hat and gloves. They are very feminine. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love that tunic! The hat and gloves are pretty sweet, too. Thanks for another contest.
ReplyDeleteLove them all, but would make the cloche and gloves first! Thanks for the give-away!
ReplyDeletejenb69 on ravelry
I love them all, but my favorite is the Bakersville pattern.
ReplyDeleteScrumptious is right! All the patterns are great, but I'm fascinated by the Taupo.
ReplyDeleteI'm really smitten by the Ignus, but the haruna hat looks like a fun project.
ReplyDeleteI'm really smitten by the Ignus, but the haruna hat looks like a fun project.
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with that hat as soon as I saw it on your blog just now! That would be an awesome prize to win. (And the matching gloves look great too.)
ReplyDeleteLove them all!
ReplyDeleteFor me it would have to be Taupo
ReplyDeleteLike you, I love the cover sweater.
ReplyDeleteI hope I win.

i love Ignus, and the purple colour is lovely
ReplyDeleteRavelry = emmaursula
I'm partial to the Haruna Hat...although...I would love to knit every single item in this collection
ReplyDeleteBakersville is my favorite. I love hoodies, and the diagonal ribbing detail dresses it up without making it something you can't wear with whatever you want. And, since taking your Knitting With Beads class every time I look at a pattern, I end up trying to find ways to slap some beads on it. I think this one would look really nice with a few silvery beads thrown on the cuffs and maybe the hood. acidreigndropp@gmail.com
