Giveaway: Knit Blankets & Throws

February 6, by Sarah White. 38 Comments

Knit Blankets & Throws with Mademoiselle Sophie book review

YarnAddicted is the winner.

Last week I shared a review of Knit Blankets & Throws with Mademoiselle Sophie, and this week I’d like to give one of you a chance to knit your own snuggly blankets for your own couch or as gifts for friends.

If you’d like a chance to win this one, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, Feb. 12. I’d love to know if you’ve knit blankets before and what sorts of patterns you like.

Personally, I knit lots of baby blankets, have a great big Stockinette throw on my couch and have made blankets to comfort friends. And have started a couple of stash-busting blankets that have turned into years-long projects.

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

    This seems like a great book! I have knitted blankets before. I knitted the Tree of Life Afghan & various baby blankets. Always looking for some fresh ideas.

    I sew, and can’t afford any other habits. I’ve never taken up knitting or crochet, I buy blankets and afgans homemade. There’s nothing that can compare to a hand crafted item!

    I like to knit Stockinette blankets when travelling with my husband. After a hard day of touring, he watches sports on TV while I sit beside him and knit.

    A number of years ago I made five baby blankets for my sister to give as gifts at showers. I have recently made a cabled throw for both of my parents.

    I like to make baby blankets using the Grandma’s Favorite Dishcloth pattern.

    I am a beginner so have onlhy knitted real simple baby blankets – am ready to tackle something harder!

  7. Patricia Panuccio says

    February 6, 2017 at 10:08 am

    I have never knitted a throw.

    I have knit many baby blankets over the years.Now I knit even more for our church’s welcoming baby baskets. It is always fun to knit things that don’t have to fit!

    I love knitting baby blankets! I’m currently working on one that is my first foray into cables, and has some lacework to it too.

    I knit baby blankets all the time for friends and family. I am always looking for a new pattern although one of the blankets I knit is a shell pattern and I love that.

    I love to knit baby blankets and of course I have a sock yarn blanket in progress that will take several years to finish. Sometimes I wish I had a mindless blanket to work on for car knitting.

    I typically crochet my blankets because I can work them up faster than knitting. But if I don’t have a deadline, I would love to knit a few blankets!

  13. Helen King says

    I have knit two blankets. One lacy baby blanket and one paneled blanket with simple to intricate blocks. They both turned out beautiful.

  14. Maureen T says

    I have knitted many things. In fact I kearned to knot at 6 years old. I knitted for many years but with chikdren and work,I haven’t knitted for 25 years.

    The closest I have gotten to a throw or blanket was a doll blanket with a knitted bunny silouette with tail on it.

    I am retired and would love to be able to knit a blanket/throw.

  15. Marilyn Milcavage says

    I used to do some pretty intricate knitting, but then stopped for many years. I’ve just recently knitted doll blankets for my granddaughters, but I would like to knit a regular sized Afghan with an easy pattern that repeats so I don’t have to think about it much or have to follow a chart while I knit. If you know of one that’s out there, I would greatly appreciate seeing it.

    I always love trying a new pattern and would love to win! πŸ˜€

    I have knitted many baby clothes and accessories but not a blanket, so I would love a book of patterns!!!

    I have knitted blankets-for Christmas I gave my sister a sampler afghan in cream-she loves it!

  19. joyce hancock says

    I have knit several afghans, both full size and baby. I prefer to knit one with an interesting pattern to keep me thinking. There are so many occasions to give a nice blanket for.

    I have just finished a toddler blanket and did three baby blankets when the child was a baby. I enjoy knitting for children. Thank you for the giveaway chance.

    I have only done one so far, for a disabled vet charity.

  22. Donna Wollam says

    February 6, 2017 at 1:30 pm

    I’ve only knitted afghans but would really like the chance to try my hand at knitting blankets. Knitting is such a calming project to me.

  28. Henriika says

    February 6, 2017 at 9:54 pm

    I have crocheted one blanket but haven’t knitted one yet. I sure would knit my first one if I had this beautiful book!

  30. Mary Carol Howard says

    February 7, 2017 at 8:19 am

    Just found your blog and look forward to following it! I enjoy both knitting and crocheting throws, baby blankets, and clothing. I seem to gravitate towards projects with a pattern.

    My mother and dear grandmother taught me to knit and it always brings me joy to create a blanket or something homemade to pass on. I would love to try a new design from this lovely book.
    Thank you for the opportunity with this giveaway.

    Between knit and crochet I’ve made several, from baby blankets to a queen size bedspread.There are three on my bed now, one about 30 years old and still going strong.

    Beginner knitter here, made 8 afghans for Christmas gifts this past year! Marathon knitting! But I got quite good at simple knitting. Would love to learn cables & other stitches. I have a great grandson coming in April, so am on the hunt for that :perfect: pattern! Thanks for the chance to win this book!

Declutter and Get Set for the Season with the Get Organized Toolkit

One of my missions as a crafter is to encourage people to use what they have to make something great. Accumulating stash is fun, but at some point you realize that you have more than you can ever use, and that can be really overwhelming.

A couple of years ago I wrote a book called How to Declutter Your Craft Supplies, which is all about why it’s so hard to let go of stash and how to deal with it. This is something I still struggle with and I’m in the midst of cleaning out my office/studio yet again (seriously, how can I still have so much stuff when I’m not buying anything new?).

If you’re gearing up for spring cleaning (or fall cleaning!) you need to check out the Get Organized Toolkit, of which my book is a part. This collection of more than 60 ebooks, courses, guides and printables will help you organize your home, business, mind and life.

There are so many great products here, from decluttering guides to advice on how to organize your book collection, cleaning up your iPhone and dealing with mental clutter. You’ll learn all about minimalism, get a planner to help you stay on top of home maintenance and learn how to build a capsule wardrobe, among other things. It’s a great way to get a lot of helpful advice all at once to help you lead a more organized and peaceful life.

The bundle is on sale through March 29. You can read more about it on my blog or go here to buy. And if you have specific questions about decluttering craft supplies or using your stash I would love to hear them!
