"Blues and charcoal are my favorite color combos so Kit #4. Such a lovely pattern and beautiful yarn."
Congratulations! Please contact me at yarnonthehouse@gmail.com to collect your prizes.
I'm so excited to bring you this next giveaway! Not only is it #100!! But, I've collaborated this time with a designer that I've admired and followed for years now to bring you a fun 12 Days of Knitting giveaway. There's more prizes, more winners, and a dozen fiber and knitting filled blog posts to come!
Isn't she so cute as a knitting needle?!
Grace is a super talented knitwear designer! She has a whopping 110 designs published of which some are crochet patterns as well. I really love Grace's charming style! She's best known for her beautiful Robin Hood and Peace Street Hat. I love both of these patterns, and I actually originally purchased the IK's Holiday Gifts 2011, for the Peace Street Hat pattern alone! Here are some of my other favorites: Crashing Waves (I'm sure I have a skein or hundred of lace weight sitting around for this one), Janna's Tunic (so very chic), Slouchy Teanie (I actually think my hubby would like this one), Beekeeper's Cowl (not only a freebie, but wouldn't this be a perfect last minute knit for the holidays?), Buttoned Lace Cowl (this is the original pattern that had me following Grace), and Bougainvillea Lace Shrug (I HAVE to knit this!). I could keep going, but you get the idea... I pretty much like everything she releases.
Us ladies, have put together a really fun holiday themed giveaway for you this time around. Over the next 12 days, I will do a blog post everyday featuring a Grace Akhrem pattern followed the next day by a matching yarn prize for the previous day's pattern selection. At the end of the 12 days, I will randomly choose 7 winners who will each receive a PDF pattern copy from one of the shared patterns and the yarn prize that matches! How fun is that?! The rules stay the same and all you have to do to be entered to win, is leave a comment on THIS blog post following the instructions at the bottom. Here's a little sampling of the pattern yumminess!
Can you feel all the holiday love we are sending your way?! Grace has also been kind enough to put together a coupon code for all the followers. The discount is 20% off the 6 patterns we are featuring over the next 12 days: Olana Shawl, Walt's Tangled Cables, Bumble Stripes, Seaweed Scarf, Random Stripes, & Rippling Lace. Use the following coupon code during checkout on Ravelry: YOTHSALE!, it is good through the end of the day on Sunday, January 6th, 2013.
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, 12/30/12. In the spirit of our Twelve Days of Knitting, what is on your knitting related wish list this year?
Grace says, "I have to tell you I don't have a knitting wishlist at all... I'm trying to get rid of stuff :) Maybe just a "woolly winder" for my wheel and a Coco Knits blocking mat set :) - That might be it.... oh and of course a second set of hands, so I can knit more :)"
And, here's mine: I really want one of these
and a set of these
would be awesome! And, since we're putting in our requests, I would like a second pair of hands as well! ;)I'll randomly pick the winners in 2 weeks and post the results along with the new giveaway, so be sure to check back. Good luck everyone.
Sincerely,
Ve

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 322 of 322Would love a new set/kit of needles - particularly ones with metal, pointier tips for lace. Then there is a list of patterns I would like... posted on ravelry.
A Yarn Swift! Great giveaway!
A roll up needle case has always appealed to me. That and any skein of gorgeous yarn, particularly cashmere :)
A yarn swift is on my list!
I asked for a case for my interchangeable needles, but like many others, I would love more time to knit since I don't have a lot with an almost 6 month old! :-) (sjn821 on Rav)
I would like a needle case specifically for DPN's! Also, I would like to get all my knitting supplies completely organized in my closet :)
Lets see my knitting wishlist would have to be to have a nice set of interchangeable needles and maybe to magically have all the yarn I need for projects lol
I would like a set of ChiaoGoo needles and to begin to use some of my stash for projects.
I would like a set of ChiaoGoo needles and to begin to use up my stash of yarn for projects.
Thanks for a great giveaway!
I would love to get a case for my interchageable needles, more needle tips and project bags. My secret wish is for a beautiful wooden or ceramic yarn bowl.
What would help te most is time to knit through my queue or stash.
I am wishing for more will power to do some serious stash busting in 2013. Also, my swift and winder could use an upgrade.
I wish for an even workload so that my frequent neck strain won't keep me from knitting as much as I would like.
A swift and a ball winder would make my knitting life sweeter, Cocoknits blocking mats instead of the guest bed, ...... free reign at the LYS!!!
Time to knit is on my list for sure. And the courage to try some new techniques. And maybe a Tunisian hook set!
The item that is on my wishlist~ and has been for quite some time~ is a nice set of blocking mats. I really, really need the set from Knit Picks... I guess that makes it a need-list rather than a wishlist, doesn't it? ;)
I would like a Red ChiaGoo Interchangeable set & The Knitter's Bible--and YARN!;D
My big wish is for a wooden ball winder to go with my squirrel cage. And time to use my new spinning wheel.
Really enjoying all the yarn and pattern features! Would like to try one of the Signature circular needles. I especially like what I've heard about the flexible cord.
I want some blocking wires and maybe some new pattern books.
I'd like a dress form or mannequin to use for photos. Fingers crossed ...
A yarn bowl with a gift certificate to the LYS! I am dreaming big!
Hmm... I have some yarn bowls on my wish list.
I too wouldn't mind an extra set of hands, it would help me finish my knitting projects by Christmas eve. I would like a ball winder & a blocking matt, just so I wouldn't have to use my yoga matt to block things.
I always want more yarn, but the thing I'm hoping for the most is blocking mats and pins.
I really would love curio cabinet to store my yarn in.
Penny

I wasn't going to enter, because I need to be getting rid of things, not acquiring, but that green on the 4th day drew me in. It's lovely!
My wish list? I keep wanting a whole set of circular needles.
i really want a wheel and some fiber. i just started drop spindling and love it and already have a bumblebee wheel picked out! fingers crossed!
I am wishing for a yarn winder and more time to do my knitting. Happy Holidays! DKegelmeyer
On my knitting wish list this year are project bags and knitting bags. Something from Jordana Paige would be wonderful!
I wished for an extra bobbin and drive band for my wheel. Not exactly knitting supplies, but close!
I would love a blocking mat.I haven't asked because I just thought of it. rinebird on Rav
oh!!! The seaweed shawl is a favorite of mine. I wish for more time to knit all of those favorites!
Haha I want more time to knit.
A ceramic bowl for yarn and some interchangable needles. :)
I would love a set of Addi interchangeables. I have a lot of Addi's collected over the years, so have a hard time justifying purchasing a "set"! Of course, I'd also like more time to knit.
Thanks for the giveaway. I'm excited about the beautiful yarn. I can always use more yarn. I have so many things I want to make but doesn't seem to have enough time to knit it. GailGodwin (Rav)
I would love some new blocking mats and of course more yarn;) and to finish more projects than I start
I wish to be more purposeful about my knitting- really learn some new skills.
I am in desperate want of some Signature stiletto-point needles. And an unlimited yarn budget... :)
But I'd settle for winning anything you have on offer...it's always awesome!
I think maybe some complete needle sets and some cases to keep them in - I can never find the needles I want! Must get more organized!
I am going to knit the Olana Shawl by Grace A. I do not have the pattern yet. I would love to get the dye, to dye the yarn in coordinating colors :0)
I still want a set of blocking wires. I don't know why I haven't bought them yet. Oh and more sock yarn!
Hi. I am dreaming of a circular needle set from Hiya Hiya:). I think like others have said, maybe some time to get more knitting done. Would like to expand my skills even more, and keep learning new things! So new patterns and fibers would be wonderful. Pamk.
I want blocking boards and wires, the KnitPicks interchangeable Sunstruck set, or a niddy-noddy. Or yarn or fiber.
I would love the seaweed scarf pattern and some nice yarn... and more storage space too.
I'm wishin for a drop spindle, a yarn of the month club would be awesome, and a phat fiber box!
I wish I could knit through my stash.
My knitting wishlist right now has a CSM on it, I really really really want one to crank out some awesome socks. I have been trying to watch craigslist and ebay but no luck yet :(
My wish is to have TIME to knit again. With a new baby in the house I feel like I haven't finished a project in ages!
Oh my word beautiful yarn!
I'm hoping for a trip to a local yarn store that I haven't been to yet! I know that's not really one thing, but I like picking out my own things, and I hate driving!
I would love a set of blocking wires as well as the courage to tackle a steeking project!
Been good crocheting a blanket from stash, but I'm coming to the realization that I don't have enough to complete my grand dream. So, more Noro sock yarn is on my wish list this year (although any other yarny goodness will be welcomed too!).
Signature needles, the new Gudrun Johnston pattern collection, maybe some Quince and Co yarn.
A sunny day with time to knit and a friend to knit or craft and chat with. Someone who can help me figure out what to do with the yarn that i already have. Did I say more time to knit? Great give aways!
Signature needles, the new Gudrun Johnston pattern collection, and maybe some Quince and Co yarn
Absolutely more time & blocking wires.
I spent all year knitting gifts for family members so my Christmas wish would be for some yarn and some time to finally make something for myself!!
I am hoping to grow a green thumb so I can start a dye garden. I tried a few plants this year and killed them all - maybe 2013 will be my year!
Blocking mats and wires - hoping for enough amazon gift vouchers this Christmas to cover the ones I've got wishlisted!
Better storage! My current storage for stash is woefully inadequate.
Interchangeable tunisian crochet hooks and cables.
Wool combs! And a blending hackle!
A sunflower swift.
Two more bobbins for my Ashford Country Spinner 2. My traddy has enough though thanks Santa.
I wish for a little more time to knit. But something that is really possible, patterns on my wish list given to me to make something beautiful this year.
The biggest thing on my wishlist is a set of Addi interchangeable circular needles! But I wouldn't mind a set of foam blocking mats or some sock blockers or a ball winder or a swift, either. Ah, dreaming on...
I'd love some qiviut!
I need more time to knit.. I'd like the chance to knit something really for myself.. So.. I'd like to settle on a pattern that makes my heart flutter.. and some yarn the matches..
OOoooo.. and while I'm at it.. qivuit. Qivuit yarn!
More yarn!
my wish, learning how to do lace patterns/read the charts.. they drive me nuts, but they're so pretty
I would love to have more knitting time!
I really don't need anything knitty related...but if I had to say something it would be a yarn bowl.
I would love to try Fyberspates Scrumptious Lace. My LYS recently started carrying it and it really does feel scrumptious.
On my wish list this year is a spinning wheel and some sock blockers. And as far as my plans go, I'd really like to get through some of my lovely stash because I hate to just leave it all on a shelf, I'd rather it be enjoyed.
I would love more time to knit, as always more yarn & my ultimate wish list- the shed out back converted to my she-cave with room to store all my knitting & a quiet place to retreat to knit!!!
My wish this year is to have an increased knitting speed and more time to knit. I doubt that Santa can give me those...
I would love to have a spinning wheel and lots more time to knit, spin, and sew.
I have a couple of things on my list. First, a yarn bowl and also a swift. I have a ball winder, but the kids are sooooooo tired of holding skeins while I wind!
Shelly
So many gorgeous patterns, I want to match some of my stash with some new patterns. And how about some new yarn for the patterns I've been saving!
I wish to clear up some stash yarn too
I would like yarn dyes and dyeing equipment.
would love more time to finish my sweater vest, and some of that nice yarn to get some strong motivation for newer projects (i.e. malabrigo, tosh pashmina and to any other nice yarns I've not discovered yet)
to knit faster and get projects done sooner...so, I can do more :)
A yarn bowl please!!
A set of Chiaogoo interchangeables... and maybe an extra set of hands. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
I got my wish, which was for a pair of knit picks' harmony wood needles in small sizes, perfect for knitting socks. :)
I would like to have a big mountain of yarn, but only luxury, squishy, shining yarn and then a big, big, box full of circular and hooks in rosewood. Oh, and certainly I need an umbrella swift and a ball winder! Happiness is complete.
I'd love to feel confident enough at my seaming to finally put together the 56 squares I've knit to make a blanket.
I would love some Noro yarn and some Rowan Lima and some Liberty yarn also.
I would also love some more crystal palace needles. Love them
I would like to build up my statsh and get a good yarn swift.
I hope you choose me for something...it's all great
I would love a full set of the Chiagoo interchangeable needles. Thanks for the chance to win!
I really want a spinning wheel....but I think it may need to wait until next year!
I would like a knit blocking board and some sock blocking forms, and more yarn! Noro would be nice.
I really want to do an Obsidian this year. And maybe a dress.
Most of all, I want to purge my rav'queue from all the patterns older than 2010, but that is clearly an unreal goal !
My knitting wish list consists of: a new ball winder, as mine has been over used and is now producing flat and unruly pancakes of yarn; a swift that doesn't need to be jimmied with bits of paper towel to keep it open (again, from over use); the ability to stop buying only 1 skein of yarn as these solo skeins are accumulating way too fast and I don't knit enough socks/shawls/1 skein projects to justify them; and to knit up all the bulky yarn that's currently in the stash...as they are taking up precious room for the sweater quantities!
I'd like more Signature needles,any size, any shape and some alpaca yarn for a big, cozy sweater!
I wish for more time to knit everything I have on my list and the perfect yarn to go with each pattern!
Santa brought me an Addi King knitting machine so I'm hoping to knock out a lot more Chemo Caps this year. That should help me stash bust some.
On my knitting wish list for this year is time to finish my grandson's Wallaby and if someone is looking to give me a gift I would like a set of blocking mats.
I also am wishing I could magically separate my "stash" into keepers and get-rid-of skeins. I am trying to pare down to a more manageable stash - not easy!
I wish I could knit all my stash up so I can buy the yarn I want for each pattern I decide to knit without feeling guilty about the collection lying under my bed!
My knitting wish this year is to try some new (to me) yarns. Yay for more knitting.!
Cheryl
Lovely yarn. Yummmm.
I don't really need anything. I would like a scale & more project bags (you can never have enough!) I have more than enough yarn, needles, patterns, etc. A nice light weight shawl pin would be nice. Thanks for the chance to win.
My wish list is so long - I'm either really greedy or indecisive, you decide.
I'd love to have a yarn bowl, some silky soft yarns to make things for me, some beautiful but washable yarns to make things for my daughters, some techniques classes to improve my skills- I could go on but even I think I'm greedy now!
Signature needles would be a special indulgence ;-)
Thanks for the opportunity to win lovely yarn and patterns.
This year is my and my twin sister's 60th birthday - I want to knit both of us a cool shawl or wrap for a photo. . . Would love to win the yarn.
I would love to win - I want to make matching items for my twin sis and me for our 60th this may.
I wish for a new swift, because I broke mine last summer. Lots of yarn, of course, and a knitter's loom.
Right now I'm wishing for blocking pads ...
I have commissioned a yarn bowl from an artist I adore. I told my Handsome Husband the gift he was giving me. Just have to wait until the New Year.
Health and good yarn!
I'm wishing for a Matrix upload of knitting skills so I can knit all the wonderful things in my Ravelry queue and library. Although that would take away the fun of learning... More time to learn, that's what I'm wishing for then :-)
Well, I got my yarn swift and winder so now....more yarn!
All I want is a skein of Bugga! I've never laid hands on it, but I sure would like to remedy that...
Allready got two books, and a new set of needles. For the new year I hope to get a set of bigger needles, knit enough from my stash to warrant new interesting additions. And not least plenty of knitting time, which can be difficult with a little active boy in the house.
I would love a dress mannequin so I could take photos of my projects for my blog. I love the seaweed shawl, gorgeous.
Meredith
I am hoping for more time knitting.
I hope to make a dent in my stash!
a yarn skein winder !!!
An extra set of hands to knit everything I want to finish but since that isn't going to happen another pair of 00 extra sharp circulars.
I wish....
I had more time to knit pretty things with a new set of Chiagoo lace interchangeables and every single colourway of SeaSilk Lace
But in reality, I wish that no one goes to bed hungry at night.
I don't know if I'm too late for the giveaway, but just in case. My knitting wishlit for 2013 is sooo long. First I need to finish my Boxy from Joji Locatelly, and then we'll see...
knitsanae on Rav says, "i definitely have knitting wishes for 2013, one would be to win a yarn give away! ;-)"
