Congratulations to Lee!
A couple weeks ago I told you about Martin Storey’s book Easy Fair Isle Knitting. It has some really cute stuff in it, and while the how-to instructions are a bit lacking, it’s not hard to find good tutorials on how to do it.
So this week I’m giving this book away.
If you’d like a chance to win, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, January 29. Can you believe January is almost over already? I’d love to know how you’re doing with your resolutions so far.
The big one I’ve been working on is cleaning up my office, and I think I’ll be done by the end of the month, which was my goal. Next will be finishing knitting projects!
Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!

I do not really do resolutions. I just try to be a better version of myself each day–sometimes it works and sometimes not so much.
Betty Clay says
Thank you for the giveaway! Getting a bit of a late start on resolutions, but joining a fitness club this week.

About my resolutions… I am crochetting a pirate hat for my toddler, so she can dress up in Carnival (next February). It seems I am being able to get a few minutes free for crochet every day! So I’m doing my resolutions.

As usual, I resolved to lose weight and, as usual, I haven’t been able to stick to my weight-loss diet.

My resolution is to make it through January with lots of UFOs finished…I’m still working on it! This book looks most inviting. Crossing my fingers and toes…….

I have been wanting to try Fair Isle but haven’t yet so this book would be awesome! I am not doing so good on my resolutions to exercise as of yet. Hopefully I get myself motivated soon!
Yvonne Walden says
I’d love to try some more Fair Isle knitting this year!

My resolution was to lose 10 pounds and then keep it off by changing my eating habits. I’m doing great… down 6 pounds so far.
Patricia Panuccio says
My resolution is to enter more contests.
Deb McKean says
I would love to work on some of these patterns, nice way to pass the time. Resolution….stashdown on yarn, so more knitting!
joyce hancock says
I don’t make resolutions, but I do have goals for this year. One of them was to get my cataracts fixed and I just did. It feels good to get things accomplished.
Rose Scott says
I’m doing pretty good so far on trying to become more organized and to work on using up some of my stash. I would love to do some fair isle knitting again. I did a lot of it in the past and it is so fun to watch it grow.
Your Friendly Home Economist says
I would love this book ! My knitting group is learning how to knit Fair Isle by all of us working on a cowl together. It is a Debbie Bliss pattern but each person has chosen different colors so they are all going to look different. This year I am mapping out my goals for knitting, sewing, reading, inside house projects and outside house projects. I keep a list in my calendar. This is helping me to stay focused and on task and so far (January) has really worked out. Otherwise, I just go “Hey – what a great project” and drop what I am doing to start something new.
Joanna says
I am in Tasmania but I love this giveaway as I am always on the hunt for good knitting tutorials. I didn’t make any resolutions this year but I am trying each day to be a better version of myself than I was the day before ( maybe it will stick better).
Theresa says
working with more than one color has always seemed too complicated to me–I would love to learn how some day.
Catherine Shepperd says
My resolution is to talk less… listen more … hmm…. Old habit die hard.
Lee says
What a lovely giveaway. I have been working on WIP both knitting and sewing and have done pretty good for Jan! I am motivated to keep it up!
Heidi Kirsch says
Mine was generally to get out of my comfort zone but more specifically after a few years, I’ve stopped challenging myself with my knitting. So far I’ve finally conquered trepidation about short rows.
lindarumsey says
I don’t make resolutions, though I do try each year to finish off some of the projects that I’ve started before casting on even more! The book looks great.
uvocca says
Always loved Fair Isle, been doing it for 35 years, and use two hands. Lately I’m into a knitting belt and steeks. Love all the patterns. I search out patterns, like Martin Storey so am excited to see what he has in Faire Isle.
martha donley says
My only resolution is to stay out of the hospital and have no more surgeries. Made it 24 days so far. Love faire Isle and I would love to look at the book.
Karey says
I can’t believe January is almost over! I didn’t make any resolutions this year, so I guess I’m doing pretty good with them! 🙂
Kitten With A Whiplash says
Gooses! Foxes! Sheepses! Kitten wants! Thanks for the giveaway.
MJ Agles says
Simply adore Fair Isle and this book is on my wish list.
No resolutions, more a goal to not go along to get along. To be kinder, more understanding, and less negative.
Donna Reed says
Great book. Would love to win!
Deanna H. says
Fair Isle is so beautiful – would love the book.
Donna H says
My resolution was to keep off the 20 pounds I finally lost last year. So far, so good. Keeping my fingers crossed:) Thanks for another great giveaway!
lelia says
No resolutions this year – the Local Knitting store may offer beginner fair isle in February — maybe I will dip a toe in / maybe not!! so far, I have not tried.
