Giveaway: Inspired Cable Knits

August 18, 2014 by Sarah White

wina copy of inspired cable knits (through aug 24)

Yolanda is the winner of this giveaway!

This is an older book, but it’s a good one if you like cable knitting. I always think of cables as being the perfect thing to knit in the fall or for the fall. I guess that’s because the twisty cables remind me of bare trees and gnarled branches, or maybe because there are so many great warm sweaters decorated with cables.

Either way, this book, Inspired Cable Knits by Fiona Ellis, is probably better for knitters with a few cable projects under their belts, since the allover patterns do take some concentration.

This book is fun, too, because it shares the inspiration behind the patterns and includes mindfulness pointers, which sometimes have something to do with knitting but even when they don’t are probably ideas we could all use in our busy lives.

If you’d like a chance to win this book, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, August 24. Let me know what your favorite thing about fall is, or why you love knitting cables, or whatever is on your mind this week.

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

Bookmark Knitting Patterns

It’s always a good time for a bookmark, and even more so as we start thinking about back to school time. Reading is more fun when you have a pretty bookmark. That’s just science. 

Plus bookmarks are fast, portable, and a fun way to try out different skills. So let’s get busy with some bookmark knitting patterns!

This set of three bookmark knitting patterns from Lucky Fox Knits includes one worked in garter stitch, an easy eyelet lace and one with eyelets running down the center. I love the little I-cord for the tassel!

Add a simple textured stitch to a bookmark to make it a little more fun. This one from Franciscan Gypsy is called the paper towel bookmark, and I’ll bet you can pick it out above just from that description. This one calls for fingering weight yarn. 

Another pretty allover pattern is this slip-stitch lace design from Handy Little Me. Inspired by Taylor Swift’s Speak Now, it’s a sweet little design worked in fingering weight yarn. This one is a little extra fun because it has two tassels. 

I love this undulating wheat ear bookmark pattern from KMKnits Shop. It’s an interesting stitch pattern perfect for advanced beginner knitters, and it uses sport weight yarn. 

A lot of knit bookmarks have a bit of lace, and they’re actually a great way to pick up some lace knitting skills on a tiny project that doesn’t have to be perfect. I like this lacy one from Val Knitting Shop, which is inspired by daisy petals. It calls for fingering weight yarn. 

The Jasmine Bookmark from Valentina Fezova-Georgieva is another pretty lace pattern that’s a little more complex but still totally doable. It calls for fingering weight yarn and is available on Ravelry.

If you want a more literal inspiration of flowers in your bookmark pattern, try the pair of floral bookmarks form Warm and KnittedS. One has a little rosette and the other just has leaves. They look like I-cord but they’re actually worked flat on two needles and will stitch up in no time for a last minute gift or to tuck into your latest read.
