Giveaway: Color Knitting with Confidence

January 26, 2015 by Sarah White 56 Comments

color-knitting-with-confidence Last week I told you about the newish book Color Knitting with Confidence, which is a fun book for knitters who are new to the techniques of knitting stripes, slip stitch knitting, stranded knitting, intarsia and double knitting.

It has some really cute projects and would be great for a knitter looking to build some skills on easy accessories.

This week I’m giving away my copy.

For a chance to win, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, February 1 (man, that doesn’t seem possible already!). Why don’t you tell me which style of colorwork is your favorite, and/or which one you would most like to learn.

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

I have tried fair isle twice. Definitely need more practice and would love to explore more knitting with color.

I have avoided Fair Isle and Intarsia knitting projects because I believe the concentration needed for each stitch is more than this old lady can accomplish. Who knows…perhaps this book is just what I need. Thank you for the giveaway

Your give-aways are terrific. I’d love to improve my self-taught skills in color knitting. There must be a better way to do it. Thanks for the opportunity.

Christmas Sock Knitting Patterns

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
