Giveaway: Magpies, Homebodies and Nomads

December 1, by Sarah White. 55 Comments

magpies, homebodies and nomads giveaway

The winner is kajubo!

Cirilia Rose’s new book has a funny name, but it makes a lot of sense when you understand it. Magpies, Homebodies, and Nomads are all parts of the knitter’s personality. We’re magpies in that we love hoarding little bits of special yarn. Homebodies because most of the time we’d rather be at home knitting and hanging out with friends than anywhere else. But also nomads because many knitters like to travel to festivals and other events to meet like-minded fiber fanatics and show off what they’ve been knitting to people who will truly appreciate it.

This book celebrates all three of those personalities with 25 different patterns, plus tips and ideas that can help you develop your own sense of style, whether you’re working with garments you knit or things off the rack.

The book explores color, thinking like a stylist, finding inspiration, substituting yarns, even shopping smartly at the thrift store. And the patterns are pretty, too, including great hats, sweaters, cowls, tops, projects for the home and more than include sweet little details that allow you to make your projects as unique as you want.

I’m giving away one copy of this book this week. If you want a chance to win, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, December 7. Why don’t you tell me how you would describe your style? I try to do a little better than classic mom slouch, but jeans and a sweater are my uniform. This book really does make me want to do better, though, and it might just inspire you, too.

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

    I definitely go for comfort…and with this weather, that means lots of warm sweaters.

    Comfort, definitely. Nothing better than being cozy and warm with a cup of tea and my family nearby. Even if they interrupt me while I’m trying to count. 🙂

    I would like to be more stylish, but I think I always just fall back on my comfy clothes (I have a closet full of high heels but usually just wear flats these days). I also have a couple of cardigans that I knitted that I wear pretty much all the time.

    thanks for the giveaway!!

    I’d say mine is classic. If I had a choice I’d be in sweaters and jeans all the time.

    Upscale thrift store: I find a lot of very nice styles that are classy yet comfortable without breaking the bank!
