Suzanne is getting this one.
I’m deep in denial about it, but fall really is right around the corner. It’s high time to start knitting new sweaters, hats, socks and other things that will keep us warm through the cooler days.
With that in mind this week’s giveaway is Cozy Country Knits by Manuela Burkhardt and Dorothea Neumann, which has 24 patterns (but is somehow not on Ravelry) full of rustic style. Think chunky knits, cables, big coats, sweaters and vests to relax in, wraps for layering, and hats and socks for keeping the extremities warm.
This book is great for people who like classic, cozy projects with details that make them fun to knit and easy to wear.
If you’d like a chance to win this one, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, Aug. 20. I’d love to know what you love most about fall. (Me? Cooler temperatures that make sweaters socially acceptable, though I’m wearing one in my house all year long.)
Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing and good luck!

Since I’m not a big fan of shorts, skirts, or the beach, I’m most excited for fall because of the cooler temps.
Deb Kegelmeyer says
This book looks like it has some really cool knits. Thanks for hosting the giveaway.
Kerry Crone says
What I love the most about fall are the changing leaves back in my Adirondack NY hometown. Cooler temperatures are always welcome and I appreciate them here in Colorado now, but there’s nothing like a ride through the Adirondacks on a sunny fall day. I’m fortunate enough to go back each year for Rhinebeck and get my foliage fix.

I love the cooler days and gorgeous colours of Autumn. Going for a walk all wrapped up from head to toe in my hand knits!
Pamela Colby says
This book looks like it has comfy, warm items! What I love about fall is camping in NH every year with my husband, taking long walks through the woods and trails to see the wonderful colors of fall and wearing a warm sweater. Autumn is my favorite time of the year. Thank you for the opportunity to win this book.

My favorite thing about fall is camping and sitting by a bonfire. With my light-up knitting needles of course!

I love the jacket on the cover and the chunky knits are so much faster.
Carol Lee Parry says
Cozy looking knits! I like Autumn – was married in October and is always a special time for DH & I. I enjoy the Fall colors in the trees & enjoy knitting during milder temperatures.

The cooler temps are definitely number 1 for me, but I also love the fall colors.

We’re already into fall here in SF. Overcast almost all day for the last week. Great knitwear weather.

I love the cooler temperatures of fall, so I can wear some shawls and sweaters!
