I love the milk cow.....how cute is that! But if the question is more what do I love for me - it's Shapely.
Favorite from Knit Picks? Can I list the book sale? or the Harmony DPNs for socks? Makes the Cookie A patterns so much easier!

Shapely is lovely, and that little cow is freakin' adorable - I may have to make one for my equally adorable nephew.

I love the Dugdale Cardigan and would so like to make one for my son. My favorite Knit Picks item is my ball winder. It works so well. I so need the Orange messenger bag. It is my favorite color and could be used by a guy (guy's knitting bags are very hard to find).

I have used the Knit Picks Options needles set since they first came out and still love them!

beautiful issue!
I haven't subscribed yet, but this issue may push me over the edge!
I LOVE Susan's cow, though I'm a fan of all things Susan.
I'm eying up the Namaste Monroe bag in peacock (if I were a rich girl)!
Thanks for the chance to win!

My favorite is my set of harmony interchangeables. They have completely changed my knitting. So fast, and they're pretty too!

I love the cow, I may have to make one for myself. I have been eyeing a set of harmony needles from knitpicks

Cranberry Delight is delightful. I also love my Harmony interchangeables needles.

i love wota from knitpicks and my fave pattern from the gifts issue would have to be poinsettia doily..
Posted by: lorraine | October 13, 2011 at 08:15 AM
Mr. Milk Cow (well, I suppose if it's a cow, it's not a Mr.!) is wonderful!! I also love Winter Tide and Flickering Fire.
From Knit Picks, I love my Options interchangeable needles (I have the metal tips and have supplemented a few Harmony woods). Also love my ball winder!

There's not just one thing that I love about either the new Gifts Issue or Knitpicks. But if I have to say, I love the Knitpicks circular needles and the Shapley shawl is marveous. And then there's the Cranberry Delight mitts or the Winter Tide Cowl....in other words, another great issue.
Posted by: Connie | October 13, 2011 at 08:24 AM
I love that little milk cow and also Shapely.
As for Knitpicks I could not knit without my Option interchangeables I love them.

My favorite pattern from the Gifts issue is the Perle scarf by Laura Nelkin followed closely by the Flickering Fire Socks. I had a hard time choosing though as there are several patterns that I would love to knit.
Posted by: Linda | October 13, 2011 at 08:29 AM
I have always loved doilies and have crocheted a lot of them. I love the shape of the Poinsettia Doily and would love to try knitting some.
Posted by: Christine | October 13, 2011 at 08:35 AM
My fav pattern is the Flickering Fire socks!

I love knitpicks city tweed yard, I made a sweater out of it last year and it was such a pleasure to knit with. I also have the options needles and I dearly love the sharp points. never use anything else now.
Posted by: Wendy | October 13, 2011 at 08:41 AM
For me it is a tie between the Winter Tide Cowl and the Flickering Fire socks -- great patterns!
PS: Love the upgrade on the download page!
