Craftyone is the winner!
Have you ever dreamed of leaving your regular life behind and raising fiber animals? It’s a dream most of us knitters and yarn crafters probably have from time to time, but Susan Gibbs actually did it, and the result is Juniper Moon Farms.
Modern Country Knits is a book full of 30 designs using her yarns, and inspired by country life with a bit of a twist, using lots of details and fun colors to make for a book full of cozy knits you’ll love no matter where you live (check out the full set on Ravelry).
The designs are feminine but not girly and have little details you’ll like as a knitter and when you wear the garments, too.
One copy of this book is up for grabs to someone who comments on this post by the end of the day Sunday, Oct. 25.
I’d love to know whether you consider yourself a country person or a city person, regardless of where you actually live. I think I’m a not-too-small-town person. I like living in a place that’s big enough to have things to do but in no way a big city (and easy access to country, forest, etc., is great, too).
Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!
Helen King says

I consider myself a city girl with a country heart.
Thanks for the giveaway.
Maureen says
I know I am not a city person but I am not a country person either–I am a small town girl.
Heather S says
Oooh I’d love to be in it to win it, thank you!
Deb Kegelmeyer says
I’m like you, I dont like the big city and really enjoy hanging in the woods or at a lake but I like living on the fringes of the city
Jeanne says
I think I’m a medium town person living in the country… I’d actually like to move. In the meantime, I’d love to win a knitting book!
MelodyJ says
I’m a city person. Maybe not a big city but one that has fun things to do and good employment.
Nancy says
A small time country girl. Love the peace and quiet and would love this book!!
tracy says
I love the Juniper Moon Farm story, I’ve been following them for a long time. I’m a seaside kind of girl. I know, that wasn’t one of my choices! I love living near the ocean/beach in my little town that is only 45 minutes from a big city and 15 minutes from horse country. I get the best of all worlds!
Nancy Krier says
I’m a country person, and I love to knit! I think I would like a lot of the patterns in this book.
lindarumsey says
I’m like you – I like big town living, rather than city or country. Best of both worlds!
knittingdancer says
I have always been a country person.
Margie G. says
I’m a city girl…as long as it’s not too big of a city! Looks like a great book…thanks for the giveaway!
Mary Helene says
I am a country girl. I live on 30 acres with lots of animals.
connie tanner says
Grew up a small town girl, learned knitting for 4-H project.
I am now a country girl. I married farmer and we enjoy the outside country life of raising livestock and pets. ( and some pests – Mr. Possum who keeps eating the cat food.) The nearest yarn stock is 45 miles away, so I use the internet and free delivery a lot.
kim says
would love some ideas for christmas, thanks!
Kathleen K says
love to win this book
Marni N. says
Love the look of those hats on the cover. We live about 15 minutes out of San Francisco, but you would think it was in the country. We have constant animals visitors to our property, a parade of deer that we have named. A buck named Vincent – because he has lost half an ear, Jack Bauer – a grizzled scarred huge buck with such an impressive set of antlers, and Magic Mike, who is just the most handsome buck you have ever seen! So I am like a few other – half city, half country. And I love to knit and crochet!
jennirv4967 says
I’m more a country girl. I can’t stand cities….but I do like to dress like I’m in the city…. so I’m sorta between
joyce says
I agree with your description of yourself, Sarah. I too do not like the big city, but need to have some shopping within a reasonable distance.
Patty Manders says
I am definitely a country person! I have plenty of inner resources, a huge library, and a big STASH so I can manage to entertain myself almost indefinitely.

amchart says
Love Juniper Moon. I would describe myself exactly as you have described yourself! I grew up outside the big city in California, and small town Midwest has been an adjustment, but we are 20 minutes to 2 big cities, so I’m good. Before moving here, I had to clock the route to Super Target!
jan beck says
Love the sweet look of the patterns… not too fluffy.
Kitten With A Whiplash says
Herb Caen used to call San Francisco “The city that used to know how”, and I hated it! Now it’s me who feels SF is losing any “Big Small Town” feeling and becoming more Big City all the time – and not in the best ways. Last year we earned the #1 spot on Movoto’s Snobbiest Cities list.
Barbara Roberts says
I live in Fairbanks, Alaska. Even though there’s 100,000 people here it’s like a small town. I love it here. The only problem is that it’s expensive. I’d love to win this book. I’d definitely use it to make things for me and my friends and family. If I’m going to spend lots of money (to get or make something) I want to get enjoyment out of it. This book would give me wintertime enjoyment plus the enjoyment of giving. Thanks for the opportunity to win it!
Gayle says
I’m impressed with the number and styles of the designs in this book. I see several things I would make. Thanks for the opportunity.
char venesky says
this knitting book looks great. good luck to the lucky winner.
Pat says
I am a country girl, but do live close enough to NYC to take in an occasional show or museum.
Margay says
I’m a small-town girl wherever I am.
Lee says
Just from the look of the patterns on the cover this looks great! I am a country girl – love farm life!
Karey says
I consider myself, what I call, rural suburb. I would love to live in a nice quite community with a big yard and no traffic, but yet be within an hour of a major city.
Nicola blumkin says
I am definitely a small town country person. I don’T like crowds and enjoy being alone.
Heidi Kirsch says
I am such a city person. I have to be in the thick of it.
Anne says
I like my city conveniences! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Martha Donley says
Definitely country. Even before I moved out to the rural area, I was all country.
Connie K. says
Country person! Thanks or the chance to win!
Carmen N says
I’m definitely a country person – anything outside of a small town makes me feel overwhelmed.
Terry DeMore says
I’m a suburban gal, but I have followed Juniper Moon Farm for years and met Susan when she came to Ohio. Thanks for the giveaway!
Jan Cody says
Would love to use up some o my stash with these country delights!
