Gorgeous collection! I think my favorite is Nougat.
I agree with Amanda! Nougat is lovely!
I loooove Army of knitters. It's really hard to pick up just one, but I'm dreaming of the parfait dress since september !
I really like pumpkin pie too...
Hi there !
This yarn is perfect!
Love the Chambord Truffle. The Nougat is gorgeous too. Then there is Pumpkin Pie..... Too hard to decide on just one!
I love the entire collection!!! I have to say though if I had to pick just one, it would be the Chambord Truffle or the Nougat.
Nougat is lovely, and I also really like the Parfait tunic. All the patterns are great!
The whole collection is lovely! I really like Rhubarb & Custard - the stitches are silhouette of the sweater are beautiful!
My favorite is Rhubarb and Custard. But that hat is to die for!
Wow, beautiful garments, I loved the Rhubarb & custard cardigan.
I really like Toffee Apple
and the hat as well....
I LOVE the yarn! so girlie!

Hard to choose! I love the Pumpkin Pie sweater, but if I could pick only one I'd pick the Chambord Truffle cardigan :)
I love the Chambord Truffle Cardigan. How beautiful!
Definitely Nougat for me too! That beaded yarn is just stunning.
ah - pumpkin pie is awfully sweet. i can totally see me in that sweater. :)
Chambord truffle and pumpkin pie are my favorites.
I love the chambord truffle sweater. Love it - and have loved it for a while. That model and those photos are so memorable. Beautiful.
Hmmm, I like Chambord Truffle, Nougat and Pumpkin Pie, but I think I'm most likely to actually knit the Chambord Truffle Hat.
It is so hard to choose!! the nougat sweater just barely squeeks to the top of my list
I like the Parfait Tunic best!
all gorgeous
Beautiful! I think the sweater that goes with the truffle hat.
I am all for the Pumpkin Pie!
Love it!
They are all wonderful! I do love the Chambord Truffle sweater, too!
I like the Rhubarb and Custard- to choose just one!
I love the Parfait Tunic - looks so comfy. Thanks for the giveaway!
WOW!! They're all so nice, but I'll have to say that Pumpkin Pie is my favorite.
I love the 'Chambord Truffle' pattern. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
All I can say is your collection is absolutely STUNNING! I really love your incredible designs. The nougat is dropdead gorgeous!
Sandra M.
Pick only one? Well the Pumpkin Pie is stunning - both pattern and colour. Then I want to stroll confidently around in the Parfait dress, but I'd start with the hat and then the Parfait Tunic and then...
What an interesting collection! It is like looking at a high fashion magazine. I love the parfait tunic and the pumpkin pie... The names of the pieces are just great!
I think my favorite is Nougat.
I like the Apple toffee.

OMG PUMPKIN PIE; it's got total awesomeness written all over it. That and if you increase the length at the bottom to cover the but it would be a wicked tunic with a wide belt. Perfect for my brand new leggings. Really loving it.
Laura from Laurawelch.08152010@gmail.com
Oh, the Chambord Truffle Sweater! I love the textures, and the delicate color combo!
I love the Parfait Tunic!
These yarns are absolutely beautiful! My two favorite Sugar and Spice patterns are Chambord Truffle and Rhubard & Custard cardigans, although my personal styling would be a bit different than the model's. ;-)
My favorite is definitely the Parfait dress!
Rhubarb and Custard. This would be a wonderful addition to the wardrobe.
I test knit rhubarb and custard for Heather..and I love it!
I also want to knit the Truffle cardigan, pumpkin pie and Toffee apple..with the matching gloves of course. =)
I love the Rhubarb & Custard. The are all awesome though.
Yum! Delicious patterns and delicious names! If I have to choose, I'll pick the Toffee Apple Armlets, but there's mot a pattern in there that I don't like.
Rhubarb & Custard cardigan. So beautiful!
Oooh, the rhubarb and custard vest is adorable!
That yarn looks so beautiful and scrumptious! The hat is adorable and would be fun to knit and wear, but I do like the Parfait Tunic.

I think the parfait dress is one of the most beautiful dress patterns I have ever seen! The usage of the luxury yarn with a lace pattern and the fact that it is skin tight and sexy just makes it wonderful!
I would LOVE the Toffee Apple vest. What a cute ruffle in back!
My fav would have to be the Pumpkin Pie sweater. Very interesting design features!
I love Heather my favorite is Pumpkin Pie!
Pumpkin pie and the parfait dress are scrumptuous! Love the whole collection though.
Elaine.
I like the Parfait Dress. :) Thanks for the contest!
I absolutely love the Chambord Truffle hat!
I love Rhubarb & Custard!

Nougat is my favorite!
I like the Parfait Tunic and the Rhubarb and Custard.
Rhubarb and Custard - love it! I doubt I'd wear it as the model does though. Too cold in these parts.
Wow. The Parfait Dress looks like a lot of fun, though for where I live, Pumpkin Pie would be more practical. But who cares about that?!
That is a really difficult decision. I'm leaning towards Chambord Truffle or Nougat.
I love the Pumpkin Pie!!!
I'm going to vote for pumpkin pie. I really like it. Once again, the yarn is beautiful.
Pumpkin Pie!!! But the whole collection is soooo amazing!
Rhubarb and custard FTW! Way cute, I love sleeveless cardis.
I love the Chambord Truffle Cardigan. So sweet!
Such an interesting collection! I really like the Toffee Apple Armlets, they're so dramatic.
What beautiful yarn! I think my favorite is the Nougat sweater, though I'd wear it with a little more underneath :)
--aprilshowers on Ravelry
Chambord Truffle is beautiful...and sounds yummy, too!
It is really hard to choose a favorite here. It is between Nougat, Pumpkin Pie, and the Parfait Tunic. The yarn looks very lovely!
Wow how beautiful! I think my fav is the parfait tunic. If I had the bod......I would definitely love the dress. I can't wait for the winter collection. The preview sweater is gorgeous!!!
Laurie
I'm in love, love, love with the Chambord Truffle sweater. It is gorgeous!
Love the collection! Nougat is my favorite. I did poke at the winter preview and I know I am totally going to have to knit the cabled sweater there!
The Parfait Tunic looks soo cozy yet super feminine! I Love it!

Hard to choose but I think I like the Pumpkin Pie the best!
I like that Pumpkin Pie sweater! And the Toffee Apple armlets.
I like the Pumpkin Pie sweater. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
Oh Wow these are lovely but I think Parfait Tunic is my favourite.
Everything is fantastic! But if I had to pick one it would be the Nougat. I love cardis!
Can't decide between Nougat and Pumpkin Pie ♥
Wow, gorgeous yarn! And I adore the Chambord Truffle Hat, so awesome!
I would have to say all your patterns are beautiful & if I had the opportunity to knit one it would be
Rhubarb & Custard
all of your patterns are lovely!
what a beautiful collection. I just love the Chambord Truffle cardigan!!!
What a great collection...I really liked a few of those patterns - but I liked the Parfait Tunic the best.

Nougat, although it was hard to pick!
ACK I have been following Army of Knitters for soooo long on ravelry, going back and forth between what I'd like to make. I love how high fashion it all is! For me, it's all about the Parfait dress, if I had the guts to wear it, but if I'm playing it safe, then it's the Rhubarb and Custard cardigan. I'm seriously crossing my fingers for this edition of YOTH!!
I like nougat
love the Chambord Truffle but who couldn't love the pumpkin pie as well.... tribute it to the season.
I absolutely love 'Pumpkin Pie' and how it's constructed, that's pure genius. :)Such pretty yarn to be won.
Gorgeous yarn! I can't decide between Nougat and Parfait Tunic, but I think I will go with Nougat.
The collection is awesome! I love both the chambord truffle hat and cardi. They rock!
The collection is awesome! I love both the chambord truffle hat and cardi. They rock!
Hands down, the Nougat cardigan is my favorite. ::swooons::
we can only pick one??! It's hard.. I wish i had the time, yarn and speed to knit them all.I think i would start with Pumpkin pie first!:)
Those are beautiful!
Beautiful patterns!! Exquisitely knit and styled!! I especially love that chambord truffle cardi!
I really like the Parfait Dress, and the Parfait Tunic would be second...both are so nice.
Hard choice - but either Nougat or the Toffee Apple Armlets.
Love the style!
I may have just killed everyone in my house as I sucked in all the air in our domicile when I saw that yarn! OMGosh that is GORGEOUS!!!!! (Crossing my fingers extra tight this week!)
I like the apple toffee arm warmers!
I love the Toffee Apple Armlets!
This is a interesting collection, I think my favorite has to be the pumpkin pie top, it just looks super cozy.
I recently discovered Army of Knitters. I love the collection, but best of all Rhubarb & Custard.
i like the Chambord Truffle. the yarns looks so good.

I like the Toffee Apple Armlets. :d I'm not much of a knit-wear person.
I like the Parfait Tunic best, although there are some lovely cardigans, too!
Thanks for this beautiful contest!

Love the chambord truffle hat and the yarn is stunning. Thanks!
Beautiful can't wait to see the winter collection the preview is stunning but I do like the Pumpkin pie!
Rav ID KAMAOR
These designs are so modern, yet girly. I like Pumpkin pie and Rhubarb & Custard.
Wow...it was really hard to choose. Just a beautiful collection. I would definitely knit the Parfait Tunic, but the design features of Rhubarb & Custard is amazing.
These yarns are so feminine. I <3 them!
My fav is the Toffee Apple Armlets
They are gorgeous! Debbie in Alaska
The toffee apple armlets for sure!
My favorite would definitely the parfait tunic. It looks soft and scrumptious.

Love the entire collection but if I have to pick it's Nougat!
Well, in terms of confections, Nougat is pretty boring, but in terms of this collection, Nougat it is!
I always squeeze that yarn when I am in my LYS. . . it's so gorgeous! That Nougat pattern is indeed gorgeous, but I think Pumpkin Pie is sweet, too!
Did you see the sweater in the winter preview tab?? MUST HAVE IT!
I love sculptural patterns so much.
I like the Parfait Tunic.
I absolutely love the parfait dress. However, I'd probably wear it as a shirt over jeans. I'm just a little leg shy.
Lovely, and a fun interview! Rhubarb and Custard is my favorite, all the way :)
xoAllison
Chambord Truffle Cardigan is my favourite, nice shape and I love the contrast rows.
Beautiful and fresh collection. Rhubarb and custard is lovely.
monkalicious on ravelry
The Parfait Tunic is my favorite.
pumpkin pie is my fave!
i like the Rhubarb & Custard pattern!
Rhubarb & Custard! Though I would probably wear it with a shirt...
Ve,
The Parfait Tunic is scrumptious! I'm adding it to my list of have-to-knits!!
All her designs are soo beautiful! But the Pumpkin Pie pullover is definitely my favorite for fall. It just looks like something you'd want to cuddle up in every day.
Nougat, Nougat, Nougat. I mean, wooow!
Sweet Collection I love the parfait tunic to start with and Pumpkin pie too. Thanks for the link.
parfait for me. ;D
and lovely yarn!
They're all beautiful, but I'd really like to make the Pumpkin Pie sweater!
I'm loving that Parfait Tunic, it looks so soft and feminine :-)
I do like the chambord....but that cream jacket from winter is really nifty.
I love the Pumpkin Pie sweater! :) Gorgeous! :)
Pumpkin pie is gorgeous! Art yarns are always on my drool list! I never realized they had such great patterns!
Beautiful!! I love the Chambord truffle.
They are all lovely!
I would have to pick the Chambord Truffle. I do happen to love the bikini too but I am far to well stacked to wear it even if I was skinny enough ;)
I think I would choose the Parfait tunic. I love pink!
Really, I think they're all great - I would probably just randomly pick!
I have knit Pumpkin Pie which I love and probably will do the parfait tunic. I love the dress, but just don't have the figure for a fitted knit dress I don't think!
I love the Parfait Tunic.
I love the whole sugar and spice collection. It is really great stuff. My faves are both parfaits that dress looks super fun, and the tunic i would wear all the time too.
What a great giveaway. Thanks again Ve for spoiling us! Good Luck everyone :D
Sugar and Spice is a wonderful collection. I think I love Chambord Truffle Hat the most, though. I am also waiting on pins and needles for the winter collection, which looks to be stunning as well.
Wicked giveaway! I really love the pumpkin pie sweater and the rhubarb & custard cardi.
Oh my Chambord Truffle is drool worthy! I think I am going to dream about it tonight. :)
Yummy collection. My fave is Chambord Truffle.
Nougat!
Thanks for the giveaway
Wow, gorgie! I'd never seen AofK before, and I like this collection so much I bookmarked them. I love the cable/dropped details on pumpkin, the airy sleeves on the parfait tunic, but I think my faves are the toffee apple waistcoat and gloves. Wow!
Lovely collection! Pumpkin Pie and Toffee Apple are definitely my favorites.
Oh my goodness! I love that Chambord Truffle Hat! It is JUST amazing!
I really like pumpkin pie, both as a dessert and as a knitting pattern, apparently!!
Thanks,
Sarah
I love Pumpkin Pie, beautiful!
I can't pick between the Parfait dress and the Rhubarb & Custard. I've never seen Army of Knitters before. Thank you SO much for the introduction!!!! Oh, and those yarns are so yummy!
I love the toffee apple armlets! and it is an amazing collection!
I'd have to say my favorite is the Chambord Truffle sweater -- although they're all so beautiful and fun, you can't go wrong :)
I LOVE the rhubarb and custard cardi! My 16yo dd likes it too. That has to be a good sign. The whole collection looks good, I must say.
OOOOOOOOH!!!!! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the Pumpkin Pie sweater.

Wow, what a great collection. I love the Toffee Apple Armlets.
I really like the Parfait Tunic.
Hands down my favorite is Rhubarb & Custard!!
I think Parfait Tunic grabbed me with 'completely seamless knit' ;-)
I think my wardrobe needs both the Nougat cardigan AND the Rhubarb and Custard sleeveless cardigan wrap. Both are fun and different while celebrating fibers and knitting style!!!
