Gifted! Lovely Little Things To Knit and Crochet

July 29, 2010 by Terrye

Gifted. Lovely Little Things To Knit and Crochet by Mags Kandis.

These are all, little things to give away, some more intense, some really easy.  Wearables such as hats, mittems, scarves, socks (cool socks!) and wraps. Home dec, including a tea cozy, pin cushion, needle case (sweet!), and laptop cover.

34 projects in all. There are several in this book that are already on my to do list, and they can be on yours too! The arm warmers are the 1st project I want to knit.

Along with all of the yummy knit, crochet and felted items are a few recipes sprinkled in. Like Tomato Jam. Can’t vouch for that one, I’ve never had it, but will definitely try it. Also vanilla sugar, mulling spice mix and ginger syrup. Yum!

This is the coolest book, and it can be yours next Friday, Aug 6, 2010.

Just leave me a comment! And good luck…. Ready… Set…. Go!!!

Next Pattern:

  • Little Things to Knit to Make Winter Better
  • A Lovely Cardigan to Knit for Summer
  • A Maze of Colorwork Makes a Lovely Cowl Knitting Pattern

    This book sounds amazing. Given my knitting attention span isn’t that great lately, this book sounds great. I love giving my knitting away too, so it’s just the perfect book for me.
    Thanks for the giveaway!

    I like to knit, crochet, felt, weave and more,
    This book is abundant with ideas I can make for the poor.
    Such variety will keep,
    My mind quiet and true,
    Keeping my hands busy,
    “Gifted” will bring love
    to more than a few!

    I’m sooooooooo excited!! I just saw this book advertised on Interweave and was thinking it looks perfect for this compulsive knitter who just loves to knit for other people. My specialties are baby knits and dog knits, but who can go past a good scarf or a pair of gloves. And I’ve been experimenting with tea-cosy’s lately. They make such nice gifts!

    Glad to be in like minded company.

    I’d love to win this book. I would probably give this as a Christmas gift to my mother-in-law, who has been the sweetest “mother substitute” to me since my own mother passed away. She is much more gifted at the needlearts than I am since I’m just now learning, and I know she would love it!

    I would love to win the book — I love to look through the books, buy yarn, start a project, then start over again — look at book, buy yard, start project, …. But I have problem complelting projects,this summer my goal is to complete projects and when fall/winter begins and I can start new projects. If I win you book — I will probably make my first fall/winter project out of it.

Knitting Pattern Review: Sabai Top by PaulaStrickt

Trending now — and for good reason!

Alright fellow knitters, if you’ve been scrolling through Instagram or Pinterest lately, you’ve probably spotted the Sabai Top popping up everywhere. And let me tell you — the hype is totally justified. This lightweight, drapey top by PaulaStrickt has quickly become a must-knit, and it’s easy to see why.

The Sabai Top has that magical mix of style and simplicity. With its elegant A-line shape, soft rolled neckline, and relaxed fit, it flatters every body and suits just about every wardrobe. It’s knit top-down in the round, which means no seams (yes please!), and it flows beautifully thanks to its clever shaping.

It’s ideal for warmer weather and perfect for layering. I’ve seen it styled casually over jeans or thrown over a sundress, and honestly? It looks stunning every single time. That easy, wearable style is what’s made this one take off in the knitting world right now.

PaulaStrickt’s instructions are beautifully laid out, with both English and German versions included. It’s written with clarity and care, and includes helpful photos throughout. I’d say it’s best for confident beginners and up — if you’re comfortable knitting in the round and shaping, you’ll be right at home.

The sizing is generous and inclusive, and it’s so adaptable with different fibres. Linen, cotton, bamboo blends — they all shine in this pattern. I’ve cast on with a blush cotton-linen from my stash, and it’s knitting up like a dream.

This is one of those patterns you just know you’ll make more than once. The fit, the drape, the ease… it’s everything I want in a handmade top. No wonder it’s trending — it’s the kind of timeless knit that never really goes out of style.
