it's hard to pick just one, they are all so beautiful... but having 2 boys, i must say the treasure vest is my favourite!!!
So much fun to watch two of my friends chatting! There is a very funny story behind how Kate and I "met" but I will save that for coffee soon :D. My favorite pattern of Kate's right now is the Mary Swanson, I would love to cast on but I want to lose about 30 lbs first ;)
And Kate one day we will have to meet in person ;)
i love all kate's patterns, i think my favorite is the Checkered Square Cap.
I love "Roar, the Dinosaur Hat"! So cute.
Thanks for the introduction to Kate! I love the Sweet Tea Shrug. But the Mary Swanson Cardi-Vest is pretty cool too.
It's a toss-up btn the Simply Fair Isle Hat and the Master Charles sweater. Such great designs.
The Master Charles sweater is my favorite. It would look great on my grandsons.
Adorable patterns. Clearly more of my friends need to have kids so I can make some of these. My favorite is the Perfect Patchwork Bloomers.
I love Roar. I wish my son would wear hats!
I love the Baby Vintage Petti-Dress and Cap outfit!!
I love the roar hat! But I have a deep love for a kid in a cabled sweater so I think the master charles is still my favorite.
How do you pick??? I have to pick Bewitched in honor of my parents' recent move to Salem, MA! And b/c it's a stinkin' adorable hat.
I love the Master Charles sweater. I have it in my queue, whether I win it here or not! My little man would look so darling in it!
The Master Charles sweater is my favorite.
That sweater is absolutely beautiful! And I love those patches!
I may just be in luck, because the Master Charles sweater and hat are my favorites. I just can't get over those elbow patches, and the cables look so classy!
Roar, A dinosaur hat is my fave by far. As a matter of fact I was just telling her that last week through the Rav group!
i have to say my favs are a tie between the cable tie topper and the master charles.
Definately the "Pig"!!!
I like the pattern for the Sweet Tea Shrug.
I think the people 2 blocks away heard me scream I was so excited!
Kate's Miss Piggy hat is adorable as well as sweet. I'm sure it will bring smiles from everyone who sees it. It's my favorite from the lot. Very creative!

I am a sucker for vests- I love the hoodie version for me and the "treasure vest" for my kids- what a great idea!
I love the Treasure Vest! Cute!

I adore the dinosaur hat! I made at least 4 of them as Christmas gifts this past year and they were a giant hit.
I am saving up yarn to make her Cheery Scrap Cap, from the winter 2009 Petite Purls, for my kids. I have a few colors left to collect, and then I can get busy!
I love Roar!
I got the Master Charles hat pattern as soon as I saw it. I love the design of the cables, I even made one for my niece's doll! I like the sweater pattern and the Mod Circles hat too.
Miss piggy for sure for my two chubby girls. Thanks for another giveaway.
All her designs are awesome. If I have to choose one, it has to be Jesse Polo Sweater (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/jesse-polo-sweater)
Those videos were fun with Kate. Thanks. My favorite pattern would be Roar, but I enjoyed the Sour Apple hat as well.
I love Kate's work. I discovered her recently & purchased her Cabled Tweedy Hat & Summer Vest patterns to knit for my 4 year old and his new baby brother. So at the moment those are my two favorite patterns. Of course, when cold weather is nearer, I'm going to have to knit Emperor hats for all the kiddos and possibly myself.
Hmmm, what a hard choice! I like both the Rosy Scalloped Hat and the Cabled Tie Topper. Such sweet designs!
I was going to remark that it was too bad the baby vintage petti-dress didn't go bigger-until I saw that it does!!! I love the way it looks all ruffly but not fussy.
I might have to do the Sweet n Sour Apple hat for my teen-for some reason the ear flap hats are popular.
I actually really love the Master Charles sweater!
my favorite is the pink-not just for girls sweater, oh so cute.
so many cute ones, and hats! I adore the spider one as well as the cute piggie hat!
Master Charles sweater is one of my favorites!!! I always love watching to see what she will come up with next. She's is so talented and her son is the perfect model.
I love all kate's patterns, but my favorites are Dindy Beret and Master Charles Sweater!

Being from Scotland and growing up with aran jumpers (sweaters) I have to pick the Master Charles sweater - it's gorgeous and I love the addition of the elbow patches - tres cool!
I also love roar and the master charles hat - who can resist pompoms!!
it's good to see Kate back on Yoth. i love her work. i am really in love with all her vests and polos for little guys. treasure vest looks like a lot of fun and i love the patches on master Charles. i know i would have to make a zillion roars too. that is just too cute. its hard to pick just one. they all rock.
ty Ve again for a great giveaway. Good luck to everyone, and i hope you all have a great week!
I LOVE the dinosaur hat. That would be so much fun to make!
The Miss Piggy is darling, but I also liked Roar: A Dinosaur hat. I wonder if my little girl would wear it?
I just finished the Sweet'n Sour Apple Hat. So cute!
I like the apple hat, too, but Master Charles is fantastic. I love that it even comes in bigger sizes. DS may need one for Christmas, and honestly, without the elbow patches it would look cute on DD, too.
I love the Dindy Beret! Gorgeous!
The Dindy Beret is gorgeous. What a lovely pattern!

My favorite is the Sweet n Sour Apple Hat, but I don't know if I can actually choose just one!! I love them all so much! Kate is very talented!
I really like the Vintage Petti-Dress.
I love the Master Charles sweater, the Master Charles Cabled Ear Flap Cap, and Boys Can Wear Pink. She is so talented and her designs are adorable!
