Yah! I love the sweater and would be ever so pleased to receive such a giveaway and the size Medium would be perfect! I'll keep fingers crossed!

what a generous offer. you did a beautiful job; that is one lucky sister!

Thanks for the giveaway, that's sweet! I'd love to make that sweater for MY sister. Fingers crossed & thanks again!

I sure like it, I'm all signed up for the giveaway :)

Oooh, pick me! :)

what a great give away! thanks for being so generous. Happy knitting!

OH! I've been admiring that book for the past year now, but don't know what's stopping me from getting it..I guess I'm intimidated at trying to knit something from there with my novice knitting skills. Thanks for offering this book for the giveaway! I'd LOVE to make that and half of the projects in that book. I find a lot of patterns aren't "trendy" enough to wear personally, so this book would be perfect!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you pick me! Thanks again!

Would love to knit this sweater!

I love a good giveaway!

Wow! Thanks for the chance! Would love to step out and do some "real" knitting. Also working on getting some weight that has creeped on over the past few years off. This just would be just the thing to help both get done! Thanks!!!

What a lovely sweater and medium would fit me (or my good friend) nicely. Pick me?

I have a daughter that would be thrilled!

Now that I am officially on the sweater bandwagon I'd love it! How kind!

I owe my sister a beautiful sweater at some point in her life, to make up for all the craft-disaster gifts I've inflicted on her over the years. This would be great!

I can't resist a giveaway, especially not one that involves such a pretty sweater!

ooh, soooo pretty! Love the colors!

Wow! Such a generous giveaway. Knitters are such giving people. I would love to knit this for my daughter who will be studying in London next year.
Thanks Leslie, for such a creative and inspiring blog!

Oh! WOW!!! I've been itching to buy this book!
I hope I win it!! You are too kind!

Oooh, I would love to win! I never knit things for myself so this would be a perfect item for me! I hope I win!

Oh fantastic!! I came across your blog (and a whole range of others in the knitting community) a few weeks ago - it's been great fun reading yours! I'm actually from Canada (Fraser Valley area in BC) - I'd love the chance to receive the supplies to make that sweater!!! I think it's so cool that you and others pack up parcels to one another full of fun - need to find someone to do that with, myself.

Melissa

Oh, beautiful. Thanks for the chance to win!

How sweet of you to have this as giveaway, would love to have this to knit for one of my 6 granddaughters, They love getting handknitted sweaters.

This would be a beautiful giveaway to win! My birthday is coming up, and if I was the lucky winner, it would rescue my husband from having to purchase a load of linen yarn for a project I had in mind... A very beautiful birthday knit for myself, how lovely! And, since you made it up so nicely, I'm surprised you're hosting the giveaway... thanks for the opportunity!

would love to own both the book and knit. hard to get the wool over here and love the twinkle patterns.

I'd love a gift from you!

That's a gorgeous pattern. I really love the combination of stitches to create texture variation that flows instead of clashing.

I'd love to try my hand (needles?) at it.

What a wonderful giveaway!!!

A great and fun offer. I'll pass on the giveaway though - I'm not a chunky yarn knitter.

How very generous of you, Leslie! It is gorgeous! And I so need to work on becoming a better knitter...this book looks like it would provide some nice challenges for me as my favorite season for knitting is approaching!

Thanks for the chance to win gorgeous lady!

Would love it! This is my favorite knitting blog and I refer all my knitting friends here.

I've always looked at that book when I go to Barnes and Noble. Couldn't decide whether or not to buy it. Now that I've seen the sweater my mind is made up. The sweater is so pretty. You are so talented. What a great sister you are. THanks for always sharing your great recipes and wonderful knitting.

Oh yay! I've always wanted to try something from that book. You are officially awesome.

I've checked out that book at the library and loved looking through it. The yarn AND the book? I'd love it! (I thought it looked great on you; lucky sister, though!)

I actually think the sweater looks really cute on you! It is amazing how such chunky yarn can still be flattering.

how could you not want to win that lovely yarn to make such a lovely sweater :-)

I would to knit that sweater as a gift for my younger sister. I have knitted children sweaters but never a sweater for an adult.
