People, enter this giveaway! What Would Madame Defarge Knit? is a great book (if I do say so myself, LOL). The KAL for Bertha's Mad, Mysterious Mobius starts in a couple of days (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/berthas-mad-mysterious-mobius). It only uses one skein of Mmmmalabrigo sock, so it's a great quick gift knitting project (if you can give it away when it's done).

Ooh, I love the idea of that book! It would go really well with my classic literature KAL/SAL I'm hosting right now, HA!

I'm looking forward to California Revival Knits. Light Brown Hare's light blues and greys are lovely. Fibercrafter on Rav

I think Silk Road Socks looks pretty awesome.

It was a tough choice picking my Light Brown Hare colorway. I think I've sick of the gloomy winter weather here in Oregon. Is it too early to start dreaming of spring? My yearning for bright springy colors caused Key Lime 2 to win out by a hair over Calypso 3.

I love the russety orange colorway that Black Water does, the one they call "rust." I'd love to use the sport weight for a pair of mitts!

me, me, me! WWMDFK! Of course, I am also partial to california revival knits, since Stephannie so graciously used my yarn:)

I would like to try some of the yarns of Light Brown Hare in several different weights and colors so here are a few: Lace weight in Piccadilly (love yellow) and Three Hares 8 ply sock in all the Cowboy Sings the Blues 1, 2, or 3 (nice blue with yellow) and also Sherbet 1.

The Knitgrrl Guide to Professional Knitwear Design is the Cooperative Press book I want to read.
Posted by: Rachelle | November 29, 2011 at 05:22 PM
Oh my, The DeFarge Book is on my holiday wish list. How intriguing. I hope to be able to go to Verona for the knitalong. Depends on the weather I guess.

The Light Brown Hare colorways are beautiful...can't pick. It would be much easier to find one I don't like! Anyway, nice give away, as usual.

I would love to read The Knitgrrl Guide to Professional Knitwear! Looks great!

I have had the The Knitgrrl Guide to Professional Knitwear Design book in my wish list for some time now.

Another awesome give way. Thanks for introducing us to Light Brown Hare....my top 3 colour ways are Luna Cat, Dabbling Teal and Gloaming...and I've added it to my Etsy faces. From Blackwater Abbey, would love to try their fingering weight yarn to make the Boxleaf wrap from Knitspot. And finally, am very interested in Boys Knits, soon to be released from Cooperative Press.

I would like to try out the Blackwater Abbey's worsted weight in wine. Wonderful giveaway. I also might join the KAL.

My fave light brown hare colorway would be Snowstorm, Covetous & Cloud. As for the book I would choose, The Knitgrrl guide to professional knitwear design. I would die for this book! My Ravelry name is MsKimba or MizKimba on Twitter
