Get Inspired by Amazing Colorwork Creations

June 26, by Sarah White. 18 Comments

colorwork creations

Dot is the winner.

This week I want to get you excited about color knitting. The giveaway this week is Colorwork Creations: Knit Woodland Inspired Hats, Mittens and Gloves.

True to the title, this book includes more than two-dozen patterns (check them out on Ravelry) for warm accessories featuring birds, butterflies, flowers, reindeer and more. The patterns are worked from basic patterns with the colorwork charts of your choice subbed in.

From the book cover:

The gorgeous and cozy projects in Colorwork Creations simply beg to be knit. Choose from more than 30 hats, mittens and gloves that pair traditional Sanquhar knitting motifs with birds and beast of the woodlands. Small enough for a quick-knitted gift, but precious enough to cherish forever, these pieces will delight and inspire for years to come.

If you’d like a chance at this fun book, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, July 2. I’m a little in denial that it’s almost July! Eek! Tell me your favorite thing you’ve knit this year. Mine is finally finishing a couple of sweaters that have been on the needles for a long time.

Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!

    I haven’t actually finished anything this year yet. I have several baby blankets in the works, the primary one being a cross-stitch blanket I’m doing for my 2nd due at the end of July that I’ve been trying to push to finish. Then I have a backlog of knit baby blankets for close friends and family.

    My favorite knitting project this year are wool fair isle mittens. Would love this book for inspiration .

    I love that bird on the book cover! My favorite project this year is a simple colorwork hat which I used to learn invisible stranding. I am a convert; invisible stranding is fiddly, but totally worth it.

    I finally finished a long line cardigan that I designed myself. So proud!

    Looks like a great book! My sister was here this past weekend and specifically requested something in color work. Thanks for the opportunity!

    Yeah. I seem to be having some difficulty getting protects off the needles myself. Luckily the one I did finish was a layette for a bestie’s new baby before she outgrew it.

    I really love colorwork but for some reason I don’t seek out those patterns. Maybe this book would inspire me!

    Every item is my favorite until I move
    on to the next project. I’m currently
    knitting a lace shawl. My favorite 🙂

    I’ve made a few shawls that I’m really proud of this year. This book looks amazing. Thanks for this great giveaway!

    I love this picturess type knitting! I finished a pair of fingerless gloves & had a enough yarn left over to make a headband ear warmer.

    This book looks very lovely – anything woodland inspired is right up my alley!

    I am so excited to try fair isle knitting. I don’t know which project was my favorite, maybe my grandaughter’s poncho. Always on to the next project.

    My favorite project this year is a shawlette with Noro yarn that I love!

    I’m usually a sweater or blanket knitter, working on one big project at a time. This year has been mostly about quick knits to use up a bit of yarn in a hurry, and I can’t say I have a real favorite of the items I’ve made. I guess the stashbusting itself is the project I like best, and it’s working so I’ll keep going with it for a while.

    My daughter an I Love the woodland theme I would have a hard time choosing which one to knit.

    I’ve made a couple of hats that I really enjoyed making.
