Congratulations, Rita Z!
Everyone had such a great response to the yarn leftovers post the other day (thanks for that, really!) that we thought it would be fun to revisit a leftovers-using book that was also really popular the last time we gave it away.
The Under 100 Knit Collection from Knit Picks is a great group of 30 projects, all of which use 100 grams of yarn or less. There are accessories, cowls, projects for the hands and feet, hats and neckwear, and they are great for using up that one special ball — or bits of a few balls — that you have lying around.
The book itself is really pretty and well-done, the projects are lovely and you’re sure to find something here that you want to knit, or at the very least get your wheels turning about doing some serious stash-using, one little ball at a time.
I would swear that I still have a paper copy of this one lying around somewhere, but I can’t for the life of me find it, so the winner will get her or his choice of a paper copy or the PDF edition. (I’d say this will mean delivery will take a little longer than normal, but as anyone who’s won anything knows, it always takes a long time. I’m going to try to catch up this week, I promise.)
If you’d like a chance to win, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, March 29, telling me about the one ball of yarn in your stash you’d most like to use. I have a ton of them but right now I’ve got my eye on a Knit Picks Palette in Rouge (think lipstick pink) that I think I’ll be needing to cast on really soon.
Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!
I have a ball of striped sock yarn I want to use and I don’t knit socks really need this book
I have lots of yarn perfect for a book like this. I haven’t had the nerve to buy a yarn in significant amounts yet, so I buy a couple of skeins and wait to find a pattern. I’ve been waiting a long time. This book sounds perfect. 🙂
It says to leave a comment by March29th but just in case.Don’t we all have a little of this and that yarn we save for just in case.I would put this book to good work .
My dark (nearly black) ball of purple wool and its slate coloured friend is looking for a creation that won’t be using more than the 100g. And this book sounds perfect for it!
