who are we?
- Jenny Check
Jenny learned to knit in 2005 and now knits to the exclusion of her personal hygiene. Her husband wonders how long this "knit from your stash" charade will continue. - Nicole
Nicole (aka Big Sister) is a librarian who knits. Or maybe a knitter who is a librarian. When she's not knitting on the bus or in front of the TV or at lunch or when chatting with friends, she is, well, that's pretty much it. Knitting.

I really like the Gnarled Oak cardigan and the Branching Out mitts -- it looks like a great book!
Alana, I am a self-taught knitter who holds and throws my yarn in my left hand in a Continental style too -- you're not the only one!

I think the first thing I would knit from this book would be the Branching Out mitts!

I would love to queue each project in Coastal Knits. The book is exceptional. Every time I turn a page I have another favorite. My first project will probably be the Rustling Leaves Beret, maybe?
Loved the interview!

Oh my gosh, it's so difficult to decide! I really like the Gnarled Oak Cardigan and the Rocky Coast Cardigan.

I have yet to knit a sweater so it may be presumptuous of me to think it possible but I would love to knit the Rocky Coast Cardigan.

Interesting episode, and a beautiful book. For a quick project, I'd make the rustling leaves beret, but I'm eyeing up that water's edge cardi as well. Decisions, decisions.

I love them all! I would start with either the Wildflower cardi or the Sand & Sea shawlette.

Great episode. I'd love to own a copy of Coastal Knits. My favorite designs are the Gnarled Oak Cardigan and the Rustling Leaves Beret.

I love the Sand and Sea Shawl although there are quite a few of the other designs I would love to knit also!
Posted by: Betty | November 12, 2011 at 02:02 PM
I like both Sand and Sea and the Rocky Coast Cardigan.

I'm totally in love with Water's Edge Cardigan - right down to the colour of the sample in the book

Branching Out has to be my favorite! I love all of the accessories!

Quite enjoyed this podcast with Alana. I am smitten by the Gnarled Oak Cardigan and the Rustling Leaves Beret. I've added them to my queue with the plan to knit them when this round of school is over.

I really love the Rocky Coast Cardigan. Cables all over like that really do resemble a rocky coastline.

The Rocky Coast Cardigan is already on my "to do" list. So very cozy!!

Great episode! I loved hearing how they were able to make such a cohesive project and still keep the individual characteristics of each designer. I love the Gnarled Oak Cardigan and the Rocky Coast Cardigan.

Wow, I would love to have this book! My favorite has to be Gnarled Oak, would love to make this for myself. Thanks for the giveaway!

Wonderful episode! I've heard several interviews lately with the Coastal Knits author(s); this one is by far the best! Great conversation. Meanwhile, my eye is on Gnarled Oak Cardigan for first project from this book
