Cozy Knits Giveaway!

Cozy Knits, the latest book from designer and editor Tanis Gray, has just arrived and we are so thrilled to have a copy to give away to one lucky reader today!


Cozy Knits features 50 quick projects from designers like Faina Goberstein, Kathy Merrick, Debbie O'Neill, Mary Beth Temple, Angela Tong, Nancy Marchant, Tanis herself, and many more! The projects range from hats, mittens, cowls, scarves, sweaters, shrugs, shawls, and gift items. Each of the designs feature either Cascade Pacific or Pacific Chunky yarn proving that this 40% wool and 60% acrylic yarn isn't just for babies and kids anymore!

After spending a good amount of time with this book, flipping through pages and pages of fantastic knitted items, I've stumbled upon a few that I'm really excited about and would love to share with you here.

First up is the Jane Austen Lace Panel Shrug. I love the lacy design of this with the simple bow tie closure. The shrug is knit flat making it a super simple construction. With the holidays coming up, I could see myself wearing this over my shoulders to holiday parties and other fun events.

Next up I love the Make Mine Mocha Stockinette Poncho. The simple design makes it the perfect knit for a beginner and the shape would look great open (shown) or belted. It's such a chic look and a great layering piece.

I also really love the Victorian Lady Shawl knit in Pacific Chunky. It's the perfect shawl to keep at my desk for those chilly days when I need an extra something warm about my neck. Knit on big needles (US 11), this shawl is a quick project that could be knit in a weekend. Who doesn't love instant gratification every now and then!?!?

Cowls are all the rage, and this cute slipped stitch patterned one merges style with classic patterning for a design you'll want to wear again and again. The Slip-Switch Neck Gaiter is shown here in a neutral combo of chocolate and cream for a cozy and simple look. I love how the accent colors switch in the middle to give the pattern some interest.

 Lastly, we have my favorite pattern of the bunch-- The Turquoise Trail Fair Isle Wristers. The gorgeous southwestern style patterning and color palette really speaks to me and lends a unique look to a simple pair of fingerless mitts. I live in these mitts in the winter time (they are perfect for chilly days in the office when I need my fingers free for typing. I will definitely be adding these to my Ravelry queue.

Most of the pattern pictures from Cozy Knits are up on Ravelry if you'd like to give them a look--I'm sure you'll find other knits to love as well.

I have a copy of Cozy Knits sitting here on my desk to give away to one lucky reader. Please leave a comment on this blog post letting me know what pattern you are most excited about from Cozy Knits. Also feel free to leave your Ravelry name so that I can contact you directly if you've won. I will also announce the winner one week from today, Nov. 1st right here on the blog, so be sure to check back to see if you've won!

I hope you all have a lovely (and cozy) weekend, and happy knitting!

  5. There are quite a few patterns that I really like from this book. The Weekend Away Lace Gaiter looks interesting as does the Twist & Shout scarf. But I also think the Poncho looks like something I'd love to have around when there's a chill in the air. Thanks for the give-away.

  54. I must say, it was really hard to decide on just one favourite pattern,so I've narrowed it to three:

    1. Red Hot Textured Shrug
    2. Tiptoe Through the Tulips Lace Cowl
    3. Victorian Lady Lace-Border Shawl

    Love them all,though!

  58. OK this is a tough one...I'm a poncho person so really loving the Make Mine Mocha pattern. But, I think I like the fair isle wristlets even more. There's something cool about this color pattern that makes me want to have these (the first time I ever wanted fingerless gloves, so that's saying something!). Thanks :) jenny-t on ravelry

  59. I have to have the Jane Austen Lace Panel shrug. Although not particularly an Austinite, I can see that with a change of ribbons going from "flash and trash" to a very classic look for everyday. Love knits that can serve more than one need and be worn over and over (on a cruise perhaps with grosgrain ribbon and a wool skirt, or metallic silver ribbon and a cocktail dress??) Pick me! Pick me!
