Still stitching, Still teaching, Still cleaning and a cool PRIZE!
Still doing all that stuff I do, but no huge developments to speak of in those areas. Pleanty ging on behind the scenes, just nothing earth shattering, unless you consider than my kitchen has been clean for 10 straight days earth shattering. The rest of my house, not so good. It took me about an hour this morning to put on my makeup because I couldn’t find the sharpener for my eyeliner. If it hadn’t been for the principle, I’d have just decided that brushed on shadow would do me in the future, but I like to keep my options open.
Are you still with me? Because I have a cool prize to give away! It’s a copy of Glamour Knits at Home by Erica Knight!
This book has got some absolutely delicious patterns in it, they are delicate and airy and so beautiful. But I have reached the point of SABLE and then some, and I know one of you will love this book. Perhaps someone whose children do not feel compelled to explore the holes in delicate, airy, beautiful, lacy things. Or someone with a formal living room/den.
OTOH, I am not giving away Classic Knits at Home, despite that fact that I have more than reached SABLE, because the patterns in it are more reflective of the lifestyle I have chosen. Also, how can I resist a throw that is part knit and part quilt? That’s like……….nirvana or something!
Also, the pillow covers in this book are sturdily knit things, with no lace, LOL! We can love them hard, and they will still look great! And many of the pattern in this book lend themselves to scrap yarn, and you all know I have plenty of that!
So, to enter the contest to win Glamour Knits at Home, leave a comment on this post. Or blog about the give away on your own blog. Or both! You’ll get one entry for a comment, and two if you post about it on your own site. I’ll pull a name at random next Wednesday 1/30/2008.

Oh, book worth drooling! Count me in!
I have just taught myself to knit this year and I love it. I cant wait to try new things, there are so many things on my learn to knit list!!! I am sure this book will make it even longer.
Oooh, I’d love a copy of this book! Great for creating decor for the house we just bought! Thanks for a chance to win!
What a wonderful give-away! I just started knitting and can use all the help and patterns I can get. I have been crocheting for some time now, and have even sold a few things. Anyway, thanks for this giveaway,. Oh, boy, I just saw your active projects - WOW do you have a lot going on
I’d love this for my sister-in-law. Maybe she’ll knit something for me then!
Count me in on this one!
Hello, What a beautiful cover this book has. Please enter me in your contest
for this wonderful book! Thanks very much…..Cindi
Oh, this sounds like so much fun. I would love to win this book.
I have got several of Erika Knight’s books, but not this one. I really like her designs, and I’m doing her crochet hexagon throw right now. I’d love to win this book.
I want to learn to knit so bad! I want to make knitted dish cloths.
I blogged this in my post:

I started an afgan several years ago. It showed me many different squares using different knitting stitches. I made several squares and then life happened. I changed jobs, we moved and my knitting got put on hold. Now that we are settled again, I unpacked my yarn and needles and I’m ready again to pursue a hobby that is very relaxing and fulfilling to me. Of course, I feel that I would like to shown some of these techniques (I’m from the Show-Me state, afterall). I fould a cute little yarn shop not too far from home and I’m very anxious to get started again!! I would so love a copy of your book!! Thank-you!!
The book looks very nice. I love the cover. I’m cruising the ‘net trying to find some more pics of the contents.
