Giveaway: The Knitter’s Book of Knowledge

May 16, 2016 by Sarah White

the knitter's book of knowledge review

Congratulations, Terry!

A couple of weeks ago I told you about The Knitter’s Book of Knowledge, a huge and detailed volume covering a whole bunch of knitting techniques from Debbie Bliss.

This book would be great for a newish knitter looking to build skills, which is not me, so I’m giving away my copy.

Because this is such a large (and heavy!) book, please only enter if you live in the United States.

If you’d like a chance to win this one, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, May 22. I’d love to know what knitting skill you’d like to learn the most, or if you’re already pretty skilled an want to gift this book to someone else if you win, I’d love to hear about them, too.

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

Next Pattern:

  • Book Review - The Knitter's Book of Socks
  • Book Review - The Knitter's Handy Book of Top-Down Sweaters
  • Book Review - 200 Fair Isle Motifs: A Knitter's Directory

    Double knitting is the skill I want to master next. Hopefully this book would help.

    There is always something to learn so I would like to have this book for that reason. Since my knitting group is always trying to recruit new knitters, it would also be a great reference for them because sometimes it is difficult to explain things some of us have been doing for years to a new and inexperienced knitter.

    I love to learn to design garments.

    I want to start creating garments. I have also search the internet for new stitches but it is not the same as holding up a book. Thanks for the chance to win.

    I’d love to learn brioche knitting.

    I would love to win this book because my supporter and knitting helper, my mom, has recently passed away, and I’m finding without her assistance , I need to go on u-tube a lot. Having your book would be like having my mom near me.

    I am an instructor at an adult living facility and assist knitters with a variety of experience – beginners through somewhat experienced. I would love for them to have access to a book like this as having visual aid would be especially helpful to them.

    I’ve always been a fan of Debbie Bliss and have knitted many of her patterns.

    I have a nice collection of knitting books and this book would be a great addition!

    Brioche is at the top of my list this year to learn

    I still consider myself a new knitter. I only purl and knit. I would love to learn lace knitting and intarsia. I found a great blanket for my son with intarsia but I want to learn more about it before I start. Thanks for the chance to win.

    I want to learn lace knitting, it looks so difficult!
    Thanks,

    I wanted to learn entrelac but the pattern I tried was a bad one.

    I’d love to progress in my garment-making skills.

  16. Kim says

    May 18, 2016 at 12:02 pm

    I would love to get away from scarves and cowls, need more confidence to try something new.

  17. Denyalle says

    May 18, 2016 at 1:27 pm

    I want to try cables, lace, and double knitting!

  18. Judy Cornell says

    May 18, 2016 at 7:12 pm

    I really want to learn 2 color knitting

  19. Margay says

    May 18, 2016 at 10:37 pm

    Maybe intarsia.

  20. Theresa says

    I am a complete beginner so I need to learn everything!! I only know the basic knit and purl.

    I would love this book. I taught myself to knit st 18. I’m pretty good at the intricate knitting, but I always want to learn more. My young niece has been knitting for a few years. This will also be a great tool for her skills to grow.
    Thank you!

    I’d like to try double knitting and brioche.

  23. Elena Tucker says

    I still struggle with short rows.

  24. Shawn Tochette says

    I would like to brush up on knitting since I have not done so in about 30 years and now I will have to re-teach myself. Thanks for the chance 🙂

  25. Patty says

    June 13, 2016 at 10:59 pm

    I really want to learn how to knit, my grandmother has passed and knowledge of knitting passed with her 🙁

    I won the book! Thank you so very much! I just received it this week and can’t wait to go through it. It’s a lovely book and so much bigger than I thought it would be. The layout looks very ‘intelligent’ and I can’t wait to once again try a garment project that I sat aside oh-so-long-ago. Again, THANK YOU!!

Knits to Make for Your Labubu

Maybe it’s not your Labubu, but if you’ve ever looked at one of those creepy cute dolls and thought “what that thing needs is a sweater,” you’ve come to the right place. These Labubu knitting patterns are super cute and easy to make whatever your skill level. 

If you want to keep it super basic, there’s this Labubu sweater from flourish AND fiber. It uses sock yarn and is worked from the top down in the round with a bit of ribbing on the edges but otherwise in stockinette stitch. It says it’s meant to fit all current regular Labubu plush pendants. 

Another cute pendant project is the Bubu Cardi by Ginko B. This free Ravelry download uses fingering weight yarn and only uses about 35 yards of yarn, so it’s a perfect scrap knitting project. 

Give your Labubu some springtime flair with this sweet little dress pattern by About Yarn. It’s for a 6.5 inch/17 cm doll and is worked in the round using DK weight yarn. 

Or get them ready for cooler weather with this cute beanie from Stephanie Connolly. Available as a free Ravelry download, this pattern uses DK weight yarn and has a hole in the top for Labubu’s ears and pendant to pull through. 

If you want a more whimsical look, try the Labubu headdress by Shino Craft. This one uses sport weight yarn and makes your critter look like a flower. You can buy it on Ravelry.

Add a touch of colorwork with this adorable heart sweat for a Labubu. This pattern is from kelmadeSG and uses fingering or DK weight yarn (maybe depending on what size doll you have?) and is worked flat in pieces. 

Shirley Durmaz made this cute hoodie for a Labubu with two strands of fingering weight yarn (or you could use a DK weight). It’s available on Ravelry.

If your Labubu fan is also a Taylor Swift fan, you’ll want to knit the free Labubu V Neck Cardigan, inspired by Taylor’s Folklore sweater. It uses fingering weight yarn and you can find it on Ravelry.
