I usually let my giveaways run for one week unless I’m just not paying attention to pick a winner, but last week’s giveaway hasn’t gotten a whole lot of love so I thought I would post it again and leave it up for another week.
Light & Layered Knits
is a great book for transitioning among seasons, offering tops that can be worn alone or with something else on top (or in the case of sweaters, as the top layer themselves). There are some projects perfect for summer, but great for other times of year as well, particularly if you’re hot natured or live in a warm climate.
If you want in on this giveaway, add a comment to this post (the original giveaway post is linked above and I’ll add those commenters to the list when I pick a winner.
Make sure you have your comment in before the end of the day Sunday, August 17 to be considered for the giveaway.
I asked last week for people to tell me some good news, but you can also tell me something you’re looking forward to (me: I’m almost done with my book!) or anything else you want to share.
Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing and good luck!
Love the chance to learn new stitches and techniques!
Wow – Thanks so much for holding this over! Not sure how I missed this last week….I would love to win this book! I suppose my brain is about completely fried with the kids getting stir-crazy, arguing and fighting more and more as the days go by…not to mention all the back to school shopping and prep, etc. So needless to say – I cannot wait for the kids to get back to school so I can get back into my normal routine and get my sanity back! Does that make me a horrible Mom?!?!
I have this book on my Christmas list – would love to win a copy!
Thanks for holding over the giveaway and thanks for the opportunity!!
Love Love the light sweater pictured above! Thank you for sharing this! Would enjoy the beauties that would come from this book!
I’m looking forward to cooler days – summer’s always rough on the M.S. Plus, it’s more comfortable knitting the big projects in cooler weather!
I’m looking forward to going home and getting some major knitting and craft sorting done! After spending 4 months in Georgia with my daughter’s family, I’m ready to go home. One grandson had open-heart surgery and my daughter was on bed-rest and has now had the twins. I love my daughter and my grandchildren – all 7 of them (and even my son-in-law!), but I’m ready to get back to Minnesota and start my life anew after my recent divorce. I need some time and space to get my head and heart together.
So, this is really a good news/looking forward comment!!!
Thank you for holding this over. This looks incredible, I would love this for my sister who selflessly knits for everyone but herself. She is keen to learn everything and has gone from scarves to socks to lace knitting in no time. I can just picture her in this.
I’m really looking forward to finishing the first sweater I’ve knit. It is a cabled top, and I had to order extra yarn twice! The second time I ordered the right color and wrong yarn.
The sweater/dress/top in the photo is GORGEOUS! I would love to make that for me and for gifts! I am looking forward to getting back into fall and canning and crafting as the summer heat has taken a harsh toll on this farmers wife! Thank you for the opportunity!
I am so looking forward to next month (September) so I can take a vacation with my oldest daughter!!
Don’t know how this giveaway slipped past me! I’m looking forward to the cooler weather for sure! Also, my son is finally returning to college after a couple of years off so I’m excited for him!
Thank you for the “hold over.”
Most of my knits have been heavy. It would be nice to have some knits for warmer weather and for layering. I can go from hot to cold and back again in a very short period of time. Layering is good. 🙂
I don’t remember seeing this before, so I’m really glad you held it over. This looks like a very interesting book with lots of really usable patterns in it for me.
I’m looking forward to cooler weather, and to our goats and sheep having their babies (how much bigger can those pregnant critters get??). Thank you for extending this giveaway, how could I have missed it the first time? It looks like a wonderful book. 🙂
Sorry, I missed the previous post. Thank you for holding over.
I love the picture. Not sure how I missed it last week either but I did. I’m in Canada so I probably won’t qualify for the giveaway but will keep my eyes open for that book…it makes me want to grab some that I have in my “stash” and start to knit…..housework will still be there when I finish!!!! Beautiful day here ,really hot so will just sit and watch the water flow by.
Thank you for holding this contest over. This book has been on my wishlist for a while.
I am looking forward to getting my Christmas knitting done on time this year and also finishing up a few lingering UFOs.
something I am looking forward to… let’s see… I am working on a shawl (I am new to lace knitting) and I am looking forward to trying to finish it without any mistakes! It is so much counting and checking and double checking… I am also looking forward to finishing it so that I can start something more in my comfort zone- possibly some Christmas presents for family and friends. I think this book might have a project or TWO or FIVE that might fit the bill! :>)
I am looking forward to the work we are having done on our home being completed. Yay! 🙂
Im looking forward to taking a week off, (just for me), and playing with yarn. Organizing my stash or creating something beautiful.
I missed it last week too, because we were on vacation! No Internet could be a blessing sometimes! I like V.Square’s designs. Thank you
Looking forward to the grandchildren returning to school & First Frost!
Iam looking forward to quilting today! (I’m knitting right now.)
Just ordered a jelly roll and some fabric for a new quilt, so I’m looking forward to receiving that and starting the project 🙂
No idea how I missed this, but so glad you held it over! I’m looking forward to starting a new fall project…hopefully before fall starts! Can’t wait to add to my cowl collection, and maybe even throw a poncho in for good measure!
I’m looking forward to at least one more trip to the lake before summer ends 🙂
It’s so great you held this giveaway over. I missed the last notice. I love light, lacy looks, and would love to own this one in order to make some for myself and others! Many thanks for extending this giveaway!
This sounds like just the thing for a southern fall.
This looks like just the thing for any time of year. I love layering. And I have a daughter that is always too warm. Thank you for reposting this, I must have missed it the first time around.
Thank you for holding this over..don’t know how I missed this one! I’ve been wanting to get back to my knitting again and this looks like the ticket!
Due to my health problems I always look forward to being well enough to knit! Thank you for the giveaway.
thank you for the hold over opportunity. my happy place is when I run my sister’s bearded collie in agility. Thumper is quite the trickster. when we enter the ring and prepare to start, I like to have him sit so I can have the opportunity to get ahead of him. I say sit and he stands there and looks up at the ceiling I ask again he looks behind himself. i ask a final time and he looks sideways, as if he hears someone talking but is not quite sure where the noise is coming from. I bend down and whisper in his ear “do you want to go back to your crate? then you better sit” he loves it and knows I will take him out. suddenly he understands what sit is and then we’re off. he loves doing this to me, just because he can!!!!
Happy you held this over. IT looks like it would be fun to knit!
Good news, we just bought a new house. Bad news, every room needs to be painted. Any helpers out there?
Really love your site! You always have great inspiring ideas. My good news- I am visiting my 19 mos old god daughter in Louisiana . What a blast we are having , we are doing arts and crafts with JUJU.
Somehow missed it last week, sorry.
I am looking forward to knitting through some of my stash this fall so I can buy more yarn!
Where was I last week? Don’t know how I could have missed this one, I love to layer this would be great to own.
I’m a very warmblooded person, so am always looking for lighter knits. What is the good news – we have SUMMER! I have said that after the winter and spring we just endured I would NOT complain about the very hot and oddly humid weather we are having. Oh – and we haven’t had a monsoon in a few days.
Back to school in 2 days!
I am looking forward to being home from vacation at the end of the week.
My daughter would love this book,looks like lovely things to knit,thank-you for the giveaway!! Good luck everyone.
Only a couple more weeks till school starts again and my daughter has been accepted into the college of her choice!
Missed this the first time. I’m looking forward to finishing the baby blanket I’m knitting. Only inches to go. Then really looking forward to picking a new knitting project. The book would be perfect.

Thanks for extending this. I totally missed it the first time! Beautiful knits. I’m looking forward to getting my craft room in shape! Wish me luck.
I’m looking forward to the end of the month when my daughter and her family moved to a new house. and the end of September when my eldest Granddaughter is at primary school full time.
I missed it, too. I love the layered look!
I am looking forward to fall. I am not a lover of summer like so many people.
This is a beautiful book! I’m looking forward to finishing all my projects in progress and start a new one!
Our daughter gave birth to our first grandchild, a girl, named Danielle.
The very thing for here in Southern California, it gets pretty cool here in the evening.
