Wow, thanks for all of your great entries in the Knits For Nerds Contest - I had a lot of fun reading all of your nerdy loves! Alas, I only have 2 copies of the book so I loaded up the Random Number Generator & came up with our winners Winner #1 - Meli Santiago! Her comment: Nerdy-ness is a trait passed down in my family. My dad was a Trekkie and a Star Wars fan. Passed that down to me, who adopted Firefly, Doctor who, and Torchwood on top of that. Now I've got my phone that is completely Doctor Who-ified. It plays the Theme song when someone is calling, the TARDIS sound when I get a text message, and the background screen is of the tenth and eleventh doctor. (10 is my favorite) Squee! Winner #2 - Jenifer! Her commnet: Um. My last name is Spock. Pretty sure I win on that alone ;) I am a Firefly and Doctor Who freak. Husband, kids are all Star Wars nuts, I love the original and Next Gen Star Trek series, and I can quite pretty much quote any Harry Potter book, and am a firm believer that Cedric Diggory would have beaten the minions of Team Edward into the ground. In addition, I also make and donate Jayne hats to the PDX Browncoats for their annual Can't Stop the Serenity screening to benefit various charities. Also, did I mention that the "Status is NOT quo?" and Dr. Horrible is one of the best creations of Joss Whedon... I could go on with my love of DC Comics, but I'll stop.., ;) Thanks again everyone - this was a really fun contest! Stay tuned for more contests here on the blog! |

Thanks everyone - contest is over! We'll draw a winner on 2/13! Here at Knit Picks, we're on a mission to change the perception of the Winter Blues. The color blue makes all of us so happy - gazing up the blue sky, watching the ocean waves, seeing a blue jay flying by - so why should "blue" mean sad? |

Thank you to everyone who entered this year’s Win Your Wish List contest- we had over 4,800 entries in just one week! We selected three participants at random as the winners. Congratulations toTara Paine, Rebecca Bryant, and Kara McIntosh! These three lucky knitters each won $50 worth of goodies from their wish lists. It’s fun to see what’s on everyone’s wish list this year. You can visit this page to get a peek at Knit Picks’ most wished for items. Of course, the staff here at Knit Picks wanted to get in on the fun too. Since they couldn’t enter the contest, they’ve made their own wish list. We hope all your holiday wishes come true this year and thanks again to everyone who participated. |

I love a contest and I'm pretty sure you do too. Well we have another one for you. Are you tired of putting so much work into a project that just doesn't fit right? Knits That Fit is a wonderful guide to making garments that are tailored to suite your body style and size. I found two extra copies that are looking for a new home. So the solution is to have a blog giveaway! |

Thanks for all of your suggestions! Comments are now closed - we'll announce the winners soon! Over the past couple years, I would say that the majority of my personal knitting projects are from downloaded patterns. The popularity of downloadable patterns has been growing every year - for instance, we have almost 1400 patterns in our Independent Designers program, not to mention our popular in-house designs, free patterns, eBooks and book patterns available for download as well. I get requests from the IDP designers a lot, asking me what kind of patterns they should be working on. Well, we know what we like & what we think would be popular with our customers but I thought I'd ask our blog readers - what kind of patterns would you like to see more of? Sweaters? Socks? Hats? Easy patterns? Challenging patterns? Leave a comment below & let us know! |
