Giveaway x 2 – Woo!

This makes me giggle every time I say it out loud: I’m in a knitting book! Chronicle Books was kind enough to invite me to contribute an intarsia pattern for their new book, Picture Perfect Knits.

Here it is – it’s a portrait of my previous cat, Athens. It must be said: I cannot knit. So maybe this would be easy to execute, maybe really hard – I don’t know.

Now, that said, Picture Perfect Knits is full of cool patterns by real knitters and other creative types. We have stuff here by Jenny Hart, Kathy Cano Murillo, Denyse Schmidt, and more. Look at this cool thing Alice did:

. . . And in addition to pattern charts, there’s a nice collection of intarsia projects to try. I love this bag! The striped handle really makes it sing.

“This is all well and good,” you’re saying, “but didn’t she say something about a giveaway?”

Yes, I did! Chronicle has donated two copies of this book for me to give. So, leave a comment here by noon PST on Monday, 10/6. I’ll draw two winners at random. And then, winners, you can tell me how my cats were to knit.

Congrats to DeeAnn S., who won the first book….

…And to Jennifer Refat, who won the second. I’ll be contacting you both shortly for your mailing info.
