November Knits Blog Tour and Giveaway!

Welcome to the next stop on the November Knits Blog Tour!  Last year I was honored to be asked by Kate and Courtney of The Fibre Company to be part of their latest book project November Knits.

I adore the last book they did together, Vintage Modern Knits and said yes right away!   November Knits captures the essence of fall with 23 projects that range from casual cardigans and scarves to sweet, stylish wraps and sweaters. The book is divided into three moods: Farm Hands, Ivy League and Southern Comfort. There is MUCH to drool over and knit in this book!

Want to see my design, Bluebonnet Scarf?
Bluebonnet is knit with Schaefer Yarn Audrey in Thistle with 2,012 size 8 glass beads. It's worked in two halves and grafted at the center back so that the two bottom edges match perfectly!

Luckily before I sent it off I got some lovely pictures on my dear model Caitlin....
The beaded lace center panel is sandwiched in between two intricate lace panels the travel up the length of the scarf.
I spent many a happy hour knitting this... and I can't wait until I (hopefully) get the sample back so I can wear it again!

For YOU:  Interweave has generously offered a copy of November Knits! I know you'd love to take a peek through it's pages : )!  Just leave a comment letting me which patterns you are drawn to in the book by Monday October 22nd at midnight EST.  Remember to leave a way to get in touch with you!

Of course if you don't win the book I encourage you to purchase November Knits from your LYS... they can use all the support we can give them!

Next stop: Melissa Wherle of Neoknits, who has a book of her own coming out soon!

    Market Jacket has moved to the top of my queue ans I would LOVE to win this book, as Cobblestone Trench and Thayer Street are also calling my name! The Market Jacket is exactly what I have been looking for. I love cable sweaters, love cable knitting, but I am busty and big and just look even larger in an all over cable design. The cabled lace motif is interesting but not nearly as bulky; the front and back panels add flattering vertical lines, and the stockinet side panels,provide the perfect place for short row bust darts! Sweet!

    I love your Bluebonnet Scarf. It is so feminine and the drape is gorgeous. The Cobblestone Trench looks interesting enough to try too. I always need new book s for my ever expanding library. Ladybanker0831@gmail.com

    I will definitely be getting this book! Too many good patterns to choose from but I would start with the McIntosh Boot Socks. They would make a wonderful Christmas gift for my daughter!

    Wow, that's a tough question! I do love your Bluebonnet Scarf, and my other favorite is the Market Jacket--that looks like a piece I'd live in! Would love to add this book to my collection too! JerseyShoreDeb on Ravelry

    Love that scarf! This new book has too many - I am drawn to McIntosh Sock, Palomino Mittens, Burdock Cardigan and Barnwood pullover.

    The Cobblestone trench looks like it would become an instant wardrobe favourite. And I love the Walden pond socks, and the unusual beading on your scarf. Looks like a lovely book :)

    The Trefoil Cardigan is hands-down my favorite and I'll be knitting it up just as soon as I can get the book :D

    The Market Jacket for sure! I love how the cables morph into lace and back into cables. I also like the Cobblestone Trenchcoat (especially since I'm from Boston) but am not sure I'd make something that seems to emphasize my hips so much. I guess that means I should go with the Trefoil Cardigan.

    Gorgeous inspiration! But the design I'd like to knit first is the Bluebonnet Scarf. After that, I might knit up the Tallulah Shrug, as I've never had a shrug, and this is the first design I see that I might enjoy wearing.

    Your scarf is lovely, and I love the Texas reference!
    This book has so many other great designs, too... the Market Jacket looks perfectly November-y, as do the Boot Socks. The shrug is also really pretty!

    Several patterns took my interest: Bluebonnet scarf, Market jacket, and two cardigans, Trefoil and Savannah.

    Overall the book looks great with many good patterns.

    It was so hard to choose only one pattern. This has to be the only booklet where I absolutely love every single pattern in it. Since I must choose only one, I chose what I would knit first,if I won.... the Cobblestone trench coat.

    My favorite design is the Barton Springs Skirt by Cecily Glowik MacDonald. I have been wanting to knit a skirt (never have) and love this design. Also, Cecily is one of my favorite designers so it's the perfect choice.

    Thanks for having the giveaway!

    I narrowed my favorites down to the Barnwood Pullover, the Bluebonnet Scarf (perfect for your lace class that I've been taking), and the Market Jacket. All though it looks like this book has lots of great patterns.

    Thanks for the give-a-way! :)

    I looked at this book last weekend at B&N. I really liked all of the designs and your Bluebell is lovely. However, I have wanted to tackle a sweater again, after being in shawl mode for the past few years. I'd go for the Market Jacket, but not in the tan shown - perhaps the lovely dark green of the Burdick Cardigan shown on the cover.

    Also like the Bozeman Jacket - nice vibe there. Oh and the Savannah Cardigan - whoops, that is more than one.

    So I need that book! (I'm on Ravelry as myself!)

  47. cinnymomOctober 19, 2012 at 11:43 AM

    All of the patterns are lovely, including your scarf. I'm still trying to finish your shawl course on Craftsy, so the pattern that calls my name the loudest is the Spanish Moss Legwarmers.

    I'm on Ravelry as cinnymom.

  48. CandyOctober 19, 2012 at 12:17 PM

    Along with your beautiful beaded scarf. I really love the Bozeman jacket and Palomino mittens. If I EVER finish the second shawl from your Craftsy class and then have time to finish your beadwork class, then I may be ready to try the Bluebonnet scarf. Wish me luck.

  49. AnonymousOctober 19, 2012 at 12:42 PM

    How about all of them? So hard to choose. I do like the Bozeman jacket, Morris Cove Hat & Gloves and the Market Jacket. And of course, the Bluebonnet Scarf now that you have me addicted to knitting with beads! My Trapeze Shawl should be finished this week so I am ready for a new challenge! BarbJay @ Ravelry

    I would love to make your scarf to send to my Mother-in-law in Scotland as there is an old Scottish ballad called "Blue Bonnets Over the Border" with very special meaning to Scots. Also the color you have used 'thistle' would have special meaning because the thistle is a national symbol of Scotland. Thank you for a most delightful giveaway.
