it's so hard to choose just 1! I love the snapdragon flip tops - I think i'd knit them in a light green, but I also have Elijah the elephant in my queue... so I don't know... :)
ReplyDeleteI love this designer. I've been admiring her patterns for awhile. I've 'favorited' so many on Ravelry, I need to actually get one started. I have to choose just one? I'm choosing two. 'Smith' he's just too cute. And 'Briar Rose' In a pale yellow

I am having a hard time choosing, but Coraline has been in my Ravelry queue for awhile. thanks!
ReplyDeletealso, I've been a follower for a few weeks already!
ReplyDeletelastly, I joined your group on FB!
ReplyDeletethanks again!
Oh man. I love so many of her patterns.
ReplyDeleteI love the Coraline sweater. I'd knit that in either grey or mustard yellow or maybe brown.
I also love the damson shawl. I'd knit that in a dark grey-purple yarn I saw at my LYS the other day (to go with a dress I'm going to make)
I also love the Ishbel shawl. I'd probably knit that in either grey, yellow, or green.
And finally the Snapdragon Tam and matching gloves. I love the sample color. I'd probably be boring and make it in that color. Or maybe peacock blue.
I have been drooling over her patterns all week on Ravelry. I was so excited to see this give away. I didn't even need to look up her patterns.
I think it may be past my skill-level, but the Little Birds sweater is AMAZING. I'd make mine with orange birds and turquoise leaves!
ReplyDeleteI love the Tiny Shoes

Great contest!! I LOVE Ysolda!!!! Every time she comes out with a new pattern I get excited!! I would love to knit up Rose Red!! I just recently started wearing hats - it has to do with cutting my hair and now I can actually wear them... lol... but I would love to knit Rose Red in a lovely rustic gray yarn...or maybe gold? Or green? but for sure Rose Red!!
ReplyDeleteAnd - I joined your facebook group!! I'm a new facebooker!!
ReplyDeleteI mentioned your blog and the contest in my Ravelry Group!! Babetta's Fiber Friends!! I just love your blog - so even if I don't win the contest.... I hope that other people I know will find out what a great blog you have!! That's a win for them!!
ReplyDeleteI would love the Poppy pattern and I love the red dress and shoes so I think I would make it in the same colors.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!

Thank you so much for the great give away!
ReplyDeleteI really would like to try flip-tops and Ishbel beret. I would make it in green color so it will match my hair color and skin color (red hair :)
Now I am going to join you on the Facebook!
Elijah
ReplyDeleteHow I would love to knit up this little guy as holiday gifts. He quite stole my heart, especially in this blue color!!!
Come home to Mama....
I've been needing "Elijah" for quite some time now! He's just too adorable! I'm afraid I'd have to do purple or green!!
ReplyDeleteI really like Damson - would make it in a deep red for Christmas. And a bright yellow to anticipate Spring...
ReplyDeleteAnd I am already a follower...
ReplyDeleteI really like the Snapdragon flip-tops pattern. Love the details. I would make it with teal yarn, my favorite color.
ReplyDeleteI love your berets and I love knitting berets, they are fast and fun to make. I would like to one of those and I would knit it in a granny apple smith green, because in winter I miss the green.
ReplyDeleteI have a bunch of her patterns in my Ravelry wish list! I would knit the Gretel first, though. Thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteso hard to pick T_T they're all so pretty. i think my favorite is coraline, i think i'll make it in light brown too.

I would love to make the Coraline cardigan in dark brown or light blue.
ReplyDeleteI would do the Veyla in a lovely pink or grey spa yarn. I can just feel how lovely they would make my arthritic wrist feel. heck i may go get the pattern anyways but it would be super fun to win! my email address is littlecountrygrl06@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI joined your Facebook :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a tuffy though -- I'd have to go with the Snap-dragon flip-tops in a color similar to the one shown. Or the Last Minute Stockings simply because they're timely and I've been looking for some classic stocking patterns.
Sweet giveaway -- thanks!
i love the snapdragon fliptop mitts!!
