A Month of Favorites: Day 8

Last week I kicked off my month of favorite things with a giveaway. Random number generator tells me that the winner is  RC who said, "Cute markers! I usually use a mixture of the plastic locking type and the plastic circles. Boring but I hate snagging markers. Would love to try these out!" . Congratulations! I'll be in touch to get your mailing address and send off your Velvet Hippo stitch markers. Yay!

I decided that Tuesdays are giveaway days and, lucky you, there happen to be five Tuesdays in October. This week's giveaway is for patterns from my favorite designer, Amy Christoffers. My two favorite sweaters are Amy's designs - the Acer Cardigan and the Bailey Cardigan. And while I have a tendency to think of Amy as a capital S sweater designer she does publish a lot of accessories, too.


What do you have to do to enter? Tell me in the comments below which of Amy's designs you've knit in the past or what design (or designs) you're dying to cast on. The winner will receive two of Amy's patterns. Patterns need to be giftable via Ravelry but don't worry about that, Ravelry tells me that there are still 50 patterns to choose from! You have until I post next Tuesday to enter to win. Good luck!

  3. I have the yarn to cast on Pomme de Pin, but I also want to cast on Acer and maybe Larch.

  4. Willamette and white Pines. I love texture and color and could see me sitting down and knitting these. By no means are these my only favorites

  5. Amy is easily one of my favorite designers, yet I have cast on nothing.
    That doesn't make much sense, does it?
    I would have to say Breckon and Acer are two that I am dying to cast on.
    Fun giveaway, thank you!

  6. I've never knit one of Amy's sweaters but after looking through her designs on Ravelry I'm wondering why. Thank you for the intro.

    I really want to knit both the Moxie and Pinoli Cardigans now!

  7. I have made Amy's Vergennes Pullover. Gorgeous pattern and very easy to knit! I have her Breckon cardigan in my queue.

    I'd love to make her Acer and Bailey cardigans too.

    Apparently, I love cardigans.

  8. I've made the Linney cardigan and love it - several others of hers are on my list to make eventually.

  9. I've made the bristol hat and would love to knit many of her sweater patterns, especially Stonecutters Cardigan, Acer, Lanata...pretty much any cardigan.

  10. I have not yet knit any of Amy Christoffers' patterns, but I would love to cast on her Pomme de pin and Larch.

  11. I have yet to knit any of Amy's patterns. She has so many lovely sweater designs to choose among. Today the Arts and Crafts Cardigan is calling to me.

  13. I have Pomme de Pin on the needles and I love all of Amy's designs. Not sure which I would do next...

  14. I have knit her Stafford Tee and I would love to knit her Breckon cardigan.

  15. I can't believe I still haven't knit any of her designs. Right now I'm thinking that Moxie would be a good choice for me. The neckline would be flattering. MUST adjust queue!

  16. I have the yarn for Acer waiting to cast on!

  17. I've knit Larch, which is one of my most favourite cardi's, and I am just finishing Acer. I think next on my list is Pomme de Pin, although that much lace kind of scares me!

  18. I really love Pomme de Pin, but also really love Acer and White Pine. Her designs are fantastic.

  19. I love Amy Christoffers' patterns. I'm just finishing up Campus now. As for her other patterns, I'm particularly fond of Pomme de Pin and Division.

  20. I love all of her patterns. Pomme de Pin has been an obsession of mine for months, and I love White Pines as well. Oh, I could get in some serious trouble if I started thinking about all of her patterns. Dream knitting going on here.
