The winner is Karey.
I don’t know why I didn’t give this one away sooner, but You Can Knit That by Amy Herzog is a book I would want if I were starting out with sweater and garment knitting, and there are definitely patterns in it that I would still knit.
But this is designed to be a learning book, with lessons and patterns that build off each other, so it’s perfect for people who haven’t knit sweaters, vests and tops before.
Even better, it includes a whole bunch of sizes for each of the patterns, so it’s very likely you can knit straight from these patterns, no modifications required.
There’s also lots of great information that will help build your confidence before you even pick up your needles and as you knit to ensure that you’re making something you will be proud of, that you’ll be happy to wear and that fits.
If you’d like a chance to win this book, leave a comment on this post by the end of the day Sunday, March 5. I’d love to know if you have any experience knitting garments, and what your dream sweater that you wish you could knit would be. I’ve made a few of the dream designs in my head, including a circular yoke sweater out of Icelandic wool, a great sweater worked in self-striping Noro and a simple ribbed vest. But there are always more great sweaters to try, right?
Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!

Sounds like a great book!

I’m completely intimidated by sweaters. Maybe this is the book that would help me get past that! Thanks for the great giveaway.
Terry says
My first and only sweater was knitted when I was in junior high school. Got it all finished, wore it ten minutes, then I ripped it out to make something else. That yarn sure got a workout!
Carol Parry says
I have not knitted a garment. Only dishcloths, one mitten, one sock …. one day will get the ‘pairs’ complete!

I have yet to knit an adult sweater – I really need to make myself some basic cardigans for work though

I’ve never knit a sweater and would love this. I’ll change fingerless gloves at the wrists so they aren’t baggy, but that’s about it.

Sweaters and other items are so expensive to buy. I’m disabled so I have a lot of free time with not much to do except knit & crochet. Christmas & other special days would be wonderful if I could make something with love that I made with my own hands since I don’t have enough money to buy gifts or buy new ones even for myself on a disability income. Thank you for this great giveaway. 🙂
