Sara
Congratulations! Please contact me at yarnonthehouse@gmail.com to collect your prize.
We have a very talented and fun knit hat designer as our guest this week. It's one of my favorite designers: Woolly Wormhead.
Woolly was nice enough to meet up on Skype and do an interview for us; unfortunately, our connection was not quite good enough for a video, but I did get a voice recording. Hope you enjoy the interview!
If you cannot see the player click here.
Thank you so much for visiting us, Woolly! Come back and visit anytime! Woolly has been nice enough to offer the chance for TWO followers to win a PDF copy of her latest e-book, Twisted Woolly Toppers
This book includes 10 hat designs that feature unique techniques and offer lots of unisex patterns, which I appreciate. I'm always searching for good looking "manly" hats. I bet hubby would love a Chevron beanie.
Also, TWO followers have the chance to win a PDF copy of one of the following lovely new Woolly patterns:
...or, Limpetiole
...or, Anca's Beret
I would like you to do the following if you would like to be entered into this week's giveaway:
1. Read over the rules if you have not done so already.
2. Leave a comment on this blog post by the end of Sunday, 1/2/11. We're switching things up a bit and there's a quiz question this week: Woolly Wormhead only models one of her patterns - which one is it? Don't worry if you don't know the answer! Just leave a comment saying "Hi" to Woolly instead. Have fun!
I'll randomly pick the winners on Sunday and post the results on Monday along with the new giveaway, so be sure to check back. Good luck everyone.
Sincerely,
Ve

December 28, 2010 at 7:28 AM
Trekking maybe?? I looked through them all and couldn't figure it out. Maybe because it is too early in the morning to think... Beautiful hats though :D
December 28, 2010 at 7:30 AM
It's Igloo!!
I really like Limpetiole. I definitely need to add it to my queue!
December 28, 2010 at 7:42 AM
Igloo ~ with her hair poking out the hole!

I love the Castiel hat pattern! And tons of Wooly's other patterns, too, although I looked through every one and can't figure out which one she's modeling! Thanks for the chance to win.
December 28, 2010 at 10:43 AM
Igloo? He patterns are the best! Love the Anca's beret!!!
Thanks to Woolly for her generous giveaway!
December 28, 2010 at 11:27 AM
Hmmmm...not sure, Igloo maybe? Hi Wooly wormhead! A lot of your photos are of the back of the hat so very difficult to tell. They are all very funky though!
December 28, 2010 at 11:41 AM
Hi Woolly Wormhead! I love your patterns. Thanks for the giveaway.

December 28, 2010 at 4:09 PM
I already have Woolly Wormhead's Twisted Wooly Toppers, but do not recall her modelling any of the hats in that book. I just love her and her designs. Thanks for this give-away.

Hmmm.. Igloo? I love all the hats, so fun
December 28, 2010 at 4:53 PM
I don't know the answer--but those are great hat patterns, especially Castiel.
December 28, 2010 at 4:54 PM
Woolly is wearing Igloo, with her dreads peeking out the back. :) I have knit Ziggy, Bobba and Rainbow Warrior,and all patterns are well written and very interesting to knit. I love Woolly Wormhead's patterns! samm
December 28, 2010 at 8:09 PM
Hi Woolly!
December 28, 2010 at 9:03 PM

December 28, 2010 at 9:32 PM
The only one that looks like it might be Woolly is Igloo
December 28, 2010 at 11:24 PM
It's Igloo! Such fun hats.

December 29, 2010 at 4:01 AM
OOooo Woollys designs are rapidly converting me into a hat person. Have only made Weekenders so far but I've got more waiting for time on the needles :-)
December 29, 2010 at 4:03 AM
I love hats, especially Woolly's!
barblt99@yahoo.com
December 29, 2010 at 4:25 AM
I don't know which she models but I do love many of her patterns!
December 29, 2010 at 6:38 AM
I think she's modeling "Propello"
Love these patterns! I would have a hard time deciding which one to knit first!!
jepkey on Ravelry
December 29, 2010 at 6:52 AM

Sorry, I don't know--but hi Wooly!
December 29, 2010 at 8:32 AM
Hi Woolly! I LOVE your patterns!
December 29, 2010 at 10:04 AM
I have absolutely no idea but the patterns look so beautiful I would think she would be proud to model any of them. Hello Woolly! I really love Castiel.
December 29, 2010 at 10:05 AM
I love her hats! They're all so creative.
December 29, 2010 at 10:48 AM
Hi woolly! I love them all, but have no clue which one she's modeling lol
December 29, 2010 at 10:55 AM
Hi Woolly Wormhead. I'm not sure which one is you, but they're all beautiful hats!
December 29, 2010 at 11:10 AM
Don't know for sure, but I'll guess it's Marina. Thanks for another great contest!
December 29, 2010 at 11:27 AM
Woolly Wormhead modeled Stripey Beanie, way back in August! On one section of her dreads! Cute!

Oh, I am so thrilled to be your winner! I just came home after being snowed in up in Northern New Hampshire - where I spent Christmas with friends...
Just e-mailed you...
December 29, 2010 at 2:21 PM
Oh, I would love a copy of Limpetiole! How gorgeous!
Of course, owning the entire book would be even better!
December 29, 2010 at 2:28 PM
She models Igloo! Love her patterns!
December 29, 2010 at 2:48 PM
I bet it's Igloo... the hair is kind of a give away. :D I am amazed that anybody could make, much less design, that many hats!
December 29, 2010 at 3:14 PM
Is it Igloo? I have to admit, it was fun to look at all of her patterns to try to figure it out. Plus, I added a few more to my queue!
December 29, 2010 at 3:49 PM
Love Woolly's patterns!!
December 29, 2010 at 4:08 PM
Is she the cover model of the pattern book? Love her designs. What talent!!!
December 29, 2010 at 4:52 PM
I've been searching to try to figure out which design Woolly models. I can't quite tell from the one or two pictures of her in a hat that I've found. I'm guessing Tea Cosy, but really don't know. I am amazed by her productivity and creativity.
December 29, 2010 at 7:11 PM
Fantastic patterns! :) And what a great giveaway! :)

December 29, 2010 at 7:27 PM
Great designs!
December 29, 2010 at 9:02 PM
Definately the Igloo, can't miss those dreads. I will be making the Meret soon. I love her hats-they are very origianl.
December 30, 2010 at 3:10 AM
I think it's Igloo. Thanks for turning me on to Woolly - I subscribed to her newsletter and blog. I would love to win! Debbie in Alaska
December 30, 2010 at 4:07 AM
Looks like a great book. I cheated and looked at other answers for which one Wooly Wormhead wears!
December 30, 2010 at 6:52 AM
I love Limpetiole!
December 30, 2010 at 9:31 AM
I love Woolly's designs, and am a follower of her blog. Her blog (especially the bits about her new home and the kitties she helps), her knitting, her designs (and the inspiration for her designs) and her photography are always a source of inspiration to me. However I'm unsure as to which designs she herself models.
Anyway, happy new year woolly and Veronika!! Thanks for the great giveaway!
December 30, 2010 at 11:40 AM
Hello Wooly, I don't know your work yet, but may be my luck is coming my way and i'll win one of your e-books :) Thank you for the opportunity and a Happy New Year to you!
December 30, 2010 at 1:08 PM
I can't believe she learned to knit at 3. I liked meeting Woolly through your interview.
December 30, 2010 at 1:52 PM
IGLOO!!! Hi Woolly! Love ALL your patterns! You're a true artistic designer!! Keep up the amazing work!

December 30, 2010 at 1:58 PM
Hi Wooly! Love the hats- how gorgeous!
December 30, 2010 at 2:17 PM
I absolutely adore Woolly's hat designs. I think I'm going to eventually end up with a drawer full of Woolly designed hats!
(Woolly models Igloo, by the way!)
December 30, 2010 at 3:54 PM
I just finished my first Woolly Wormhead hat pattern. It came out amazing! A very well-written pattern is always a pleasure!
December 30, 2010 at 4:05 PM
Hi, love the limpetiole.
asteride at gmail.com
December 30, 2010 at 9:15 PM
I am guessing Igloo- she has great designs!
December 31, 2010 at 2:21 AM
Hey guys, what fantastic compliments, thank you!
Am loving reading all the comments - keep 'em coming ;)
And Happy New Year to everyone!
December 31, 2010 at 4:04 AM
I'm going to say "igloo." Love your hats Woolly!
December 31, 2010 at 4:46 AM
igloo? either way, "HI, wooly! beautiful patterns!" thanks for the chance to win the book.
December 31, 2010 at 7:17 AM
Hi Woolly! I looked through a few of the patterns and could not find the one you (she) models, but I have been an admirer of your(her) patterns for quite a while! In fact I am about to cast on for a rollin' beret! Have been jonesing for a beret for a couple of years and now seems like a good time! But maybe I should hold off in case I win one of the patterns!
Debbie
December 31, 2010 at 5:09 PM
I don't know which hat Woolly models, but I love the pics of her new double decker bus she's been posting about on her blog. So hi!
December 31, 2010 at 6:58 PM
I am a HUGE fan of her patterns! I think that she models the loopy bonnet, but I'm not sure.
January 1, 2011 at 5:49 AM
Just listened to the interview with Melissa. This is a great WS. I would love to win the contest, but alas i never do... win things i mean. I knit ever moment i can and my poor hands and wrist..HURT.

Woolly modeled the Igloo so her 'worms' could hang out! What a lot of fabulous hats.
January 2, 2011 at 8:05 PM
Hi Woolie! I love your hats!! Thanks so much for your offer.
Carol
January 2, 2011 at 8:18 PM
Wonderful hats. Hi to you and Woolley. Per one of your tweets about the wrap. Rather than break up a friendship, I'm sure someone would love to take that beautiful piece off your hands. Just sayin'. :)
January 3, 2011 at 7:28 AM
I don't know which hat she models, but thanks for the giveaway and Hi Wooly!
January 3, 2011 at 12:30 PM
I'm going to have to go with Igloo. Love your hats Woolly!!
January 3, 2011 at 2:10 PM
Igloo! Great patterns!
January 3, 2011 at 5:03 PM
Well, I searched all over Ravelry, and while it doesn't show her face, I think Igloo has her hair!
I didn't realize how many hat designs she has and how many of them are ones in my favorite's list.
January 3, 2011 at 9:04 PM
POSTING FOR THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. Thank you everyone for posting! -Ve
