Scrumptious give-away!
She's done it again! I'm not sure how Carol Feller puts out so many designs, given her family and the amount of time I know she devotes to her kids. I am in awe. And not just a little jealous of her energy.
Her new booklet, entitled Scrumptious Knits, features seven new designs, all knit in Scrumptious yarns from Fyberspates: aran, dk, 4 ply, and chunky weights. Adorable Carol is on the cover, wearing her Ignus Cowl Neck Tunic.
I love the mix of projects she has here; there's something for everyone.

Of course I have my favorites. :) First, I am seriously looking forward to my first winter in the mountain climate here. I know. You are thinking I'd rather have California winters, right? But the truth is, dear readers, I hate rain. And it rained more than Portland in my last little town. Soggy mittens? No, thanks. Snowy mittens? Much better! So I am thinking I need a pair of Haruna Bobble Gloves.
I am looking forward to wearing some fun hand knits come cold weather. I think I'll get started on a little winter wardrobe now. (A girl can dream, can't she?)
I saved the best for second. I love love love this hoodie. Doesn't Carol look great in it?
The texture is what first caught my eye on Bakersville, and I am in love with the toggle closures. It also has just enough drape, thanks to the beautiful 55% merino/45% silk blend of the Scrumptious. I also like that it's knit in 4 ply weight (which is akin to a fingering weight here in the US); it's great for layering, spring, and fall. I am currently imagiknitting one for myself. In my imagination, I also look like Carol and have all her energy. If you're going to dream, you might as well dream big!
So. On to the give-away! Leave a comment on this post by Thursday, May 3, midnight PST, and I will enter you into a random drawing for a copy of this cool little booklet!
(A btw to Paula about small type size: I haven't changed the size of the font at all, but Blogger did come out with a new format. I am working on learning the ins and outs - this may be where the problem originates - but until I figure out how to hack this version of Blogger - or switch to WordPress! - you should be able to change the minimum type size shown in your browser so that you can read everything at the optimal size. HTH!) :)

This is a great giveaway! I've been eying this book. I love all the patterns. It will be difficult to pick which one to knit first :-)
Are you kidding? What about how many patterns you release every year?
(and I would love a copy of that book)
I'm in complete agreement on that hoodie! yes please!
Scrumptious, indeed! I am absolutely in love with the sweater on the front cover.
Oooh, I love the cover sweater :) Such a pretty shade of blue!
I love those Haruna Gloves, in that gorgeous fuchsia color! I hope I win. :)
Ooh, such a pretty cover sweater :) Love that shade of blue
Love her stuff!
You should talk about energy and creativity, woman; you're a marvel yourself!
My blog "shrunk" when Blogger changed to the new whatever, and then inexplicably enlarged back to normal. Maybe yours will return to normal again, too. Ain't change "fun"? Tell me about it; today I'm switching from my old, occasionally dying MacBook to a refurbished MacBook Pro. Sent the boy off with his dad for his own protection while I wrestle with change.
Awesome book!
Love this book and the Fyberspates yarn. Gorgeous! Hope you're doing well :)
You are a marvel yourself, Romi Mwaaaaaaaaa. I love Carol Feller too.
Love love love it all!
I make so many Hoodies for children each year I would love to knit one up selfishly for myself! I would certainly enjoy all the patterns in this beautiful book!
Bakersville is my favorite too, thanks for the give-away!
I am very much a fan of Carol's designs and am also in awe of how proliferate she is. I have a couple of her designs on the needles right now! Thanks for the chance to win this book.
I love that hoody! And I am suffering the same issues from the changes to the blogger interface. I copy and paste my blog posts from an offline document where I write them. I fixed my font size problems by selecting the whole post and changing the font to "normal" after I pasted it into the blogger interface. HTH!
I'd love to be entered in this. What a fantastic looking knits!
This is a great book. I'd love to have a copy.
I just bought a sweater's worth of Scrumptious in all it's purply goodness. It's all I can do not to throw over my WIPS to cast on NOW! I would love a copy of the book.
you are no piker yourself when it comes to creativity.
I love Carol's designs and would be thrilled to win a copy of Scrumptious Knits
I've been eyeing this book, too! The cable placement in the patterns is just so fluid and expertly executed.
That hoodie is great. Would love copy of book.
I lover Carol's designs!
Great patterns. Love the hoodie with the toggle buttons as well. Thanks for the giveaway.
I also love Carol Feller's work. I've knit two of her patterns - Trousseau and Casadh. Thanks for hosting a giveaway!

Those fuchsia gloves would look great on a snowy Pittsburgh day....next year.
Add my name to the mix please!

I have some Fyberspates 4-ply bought at Knit Nation last summer, where I also took Carol's top-down knitting class. I think it's been waiting for this book!
I've been eyeing a few of those designs and would love to win a copy! Thanks for a great giveaway!
Thanks for the opportunity to have a chance at winning this fun book!
I love Carol Feller's designs!
Those gloves are so perfect, and the giveaway is awesome thanks Romi.
Yup, I concur, the hoodie is a required layer for fall, winter & spring layers. *grin* And those gloves are adorable -in a fashionista sort of way- a way I hope to be in oh, 5 years when I don't have to worry about whose face I have to wipe with my gloves before they depart on the school bus *grin*. (One would think I would learn to check faces before leaving to meet the bus!)
Amazing... I want her energy AND talents!
Love that hoodie! Enter me please.
That hoodie is definitely my favourite too!
Love love the cover sweater
I'll take a Florida winter anytime. Don't like cold rain or snow. Only problem is that a big warm sweater isn't necessary, nor are mittens which are fun to knit.
I would love to knit any of these patterns. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Great giveaway, thanks. Fingers and toes crossed.
be sure to knit yourself a new cowl for the awesome winters here. everytime i wear one of the two i have knit up, people comment and i can see their desire to own such a warming accessory. the winters in northern nevada are perfect for knitted wear. thanks for the opportunity to win --nicky in nevada
