books... to receive
Monday, November 23, 2009I'm sure by now, you have seen and heard about these two terrific books. They are both filled with fabulous projects and information for knitters of all levels. I would be showing you more photos of the contents of each book, however, my camera (MY CAMERA) just went kerplunk and I will be without (WITHOUT) for 4-5 weeks (WEEKS) while Ritz Camera ships it away to the nikon camera fairies where they will try to repair it. You have no idea how much this bums me out. The poor girl behind the counter didn't know what to do when I started to cry. (YES, CRY!) Oh! And to top it off, I left a pair of fingerless gloves (that were my husbands!) on the counter and when I went back to get them they were gone. (LONG GONE!)
Book #1: Nicky Epstein Knitting a Kiss in Every Stitch. Truly one of my favorite books of hers. I love the layout of this book. A chapter each for kids, girls, guys and special friends. An entire book filled with projects to give. (Who says you can't give to yourself?)
The "guys" chapter consists of five projects including these fisherman's gloves. (love)
Kristin talks about how color inspires her and shares so much of the information she has acquired along her knitting journey.

gah! i'd love to win either one of these books - although the "knit a kiss" one pretty well calls to me through the computer, so maybe that one a little bit more?
ReplyDeleteThey both sound so wonderful! I can't choose- no preference! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeletehow generous... i would love to win the knitting kissing book... if at all : )
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice giveaway -- I think "Knitting a Kiss..." sounds like a great book.
ReplyDeleteoh wow! either one would be great! although a kiss with every stitch sounds nice ;)
ReplyDeleteI would love to win either of the books! I think I would give it to my daughter for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWow! They both sound great...what fun!
ReplyDeleteHow nice! I would be thrilled with either book. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your camera and your hubby's fingerless gloves!
ReplyDeleteBut thank you for the lovely giveaway. If I had the choice I'd love Knitting a Kiss, but would be grateful for either option.
Sorry about your camera--I know that I'd be lost without mine for that long. I would love to be entered for Color by Kristin--my LYS has items from her trunk show right now and I am totally inspired by her designs and color expertise. Thanks for the generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteOohh, how fun! I really like the Color by Kristin book. I am dying to try fair isle.
ReplyDeleteOh, I SO want that Nicky Epstein book. I already have Kristin's! My dad has been bugging me for fingerless gloves... with fingers... so that pattern would be perfect! Especially since I don't have a gift for him for Christmas yet. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry your camera fritzed! That must bug you a lot, especially this time of year. Hopefully the Nikon fairies will be especially fast in their repair.

What a cool giveaway! Sorry to hear about your camera AND your mitts!!! Well, I guess you can think of it one of two ways, either they really needed something to warm their hot little hands or hope that they're allergic to wool and get hives...I'm on the fence caused I'd be pretty miffed but it is Thanksgiving and all :/
ReplyDeletei've never heard of either but the knit a kiss sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteFirst, I'm so sorry you're without your camera! Here's hoping the Nikon fairies will get it done quickly!
ReplyDeleteAnd second, my birthday is on Wednesday, so here's hoping that I'm lucky--either book would be fabulous!
Thanks for having such a great giveaway! I would love to enter the drawing. The first book interests me most but I'd be so happy to win either. :)
ReplyDeleteI love books - more inspiration!
ReplyDeleteEither of these books would be great to own & pour over, dreaming up projects! I'm a faithful lurker on Kristin's blog...she's been showing us her designs & the inspiration behind them. Count me in!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your camera and husband's gloves:(
ReplyDeleteThe first book sounds the most interesting, but I would jump for joy if I won either.
Aw! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! The "knit a kiss" looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteThat is so thoughtful of you!
ReplyDeleteI would love either book, but more importantly I would LOVE to know where you got the bracelet that you are wearing in the 'book' picture (and other pictures). I LOVE it!! Sorry about your camera.
:(

What a wonderful giveaway! The first book sounds wonderful. Happy Thanksgiving to you!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to choose I love both books!! Thank you for the giveaway. I am having one on my blog for the "One yard wonders" come on over
ReplyDeleteLove both books. Have a wonderful thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteOooh, what wonderful books. I actually didn't know about the Nicky Epstein one. I love Kristen and have some of her other books. What a very nice giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway. I'd be honored to win either book! Happy Thanksgiving!!
ReplyDeletehow generous! thanks and what a big, huge bummer about your camera!!!
ReplyDeleteif i was to pick it would be the knit a kiss book.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and the fam.
Oooh! I love the first one, the kissing book!
ReplyDeletewow! a book about kissing and knitting - two of my favorite things! ;) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWould love to join the give away. The knitting with a kiss would be a great book. I have many friends and family that I am always looking for something to knit. Thanks for the oportunity. tiffaniemullis@yahoo
ReplyDeleteNo camera for 5 weeks??? I'd cry too! Especially with the holidays coming up! Good luck getting it back sooner.(and I'd love a chance to win "knit a kiss" thank you.)
ReplyDeleteI have the Colot book and it is wonderful. I have not had the pleasure of seeing the other one.
ReplyDeleteFrancis
Wow, both books look fantastic! I'm sorry to hear about your camera.
ReplyDeletewell, of course I HAVE to comment here for the chance to win. You are so adorable reading in those pictures.
ReplyDeleteI would love the chance to win a copy of the knitting a kiss book.
Oh no, camera-less and mitt-less?!? That's a sad tale.
ReplyDeleteI'd love a copy of either book. Both sound neat!
My heartfelt sympathy to you. Just the mere thought of having to be without camera ... here's hoping the camera fairies will fix your camera even faster that asap.
ReplyDeleteAs for the books, both sound great.
Ella
I just noticed your header... gorgeous work. What a great giveaway I have the Nicky Epstein one on my bookshop wishlist...fingers crossed!!
ReplyDeleteI love the blog and I wish to win these great knitting reads! Thanks for the give aways, great holiday cheer!Sorry about the bad news on you side of things.
ReplyDeleteI would love the Knit a Kiss book. Why oh why did I decide in November that knitted Christmas gifts would be a good idea? LOL.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, how much I would love the Nicky Epstein book.
ReplyDeleteNot a good day! I'm sorry! I hope your Thanksgiving is wonderful. I am thankful I happened upon your blog one day. As for the book - thank you - would love the "kiss" book!
ReplyDeleteI've been dying to see the Nicky Epstein book - thanks for the reviews and boy oh boy I hope I win!
ReplyDeleteBoth of the books sound wonderful. I think if I had to pick, knit a kiss sounds like a wonderful book for me. Thank you for the generous give away
ReplyDeleteHmmm my first choice would be the Nicky Epstein book - I love her books the images are so lovely to look at never mind the image of "knit a kiss" .
ReplyDeletei'm sooo sorry about your camera. maybe it will be a shorter wait! fingers crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteI like the look of those gloves in the Nicky Epstein book. I need a good man glove pattern. Thanks for the reviews!
ReplyDeleteI have the knitting with a kiss book on my wishlist. I love little projects for friends and family. Have a Happy Thanksgiving
ReplyDeleteI would love either book!
ReplyDeleteOMG I would love either of these books, very nice! Hope you're enjoying them too!
ReplyDeleteI would love the Epstein book.
ReplyDeletesorry to hear about your camera. on a happy (unrelated!) note, I made your pumpkin cookies and they were awesome! thanks for sharing the recipe.
ReplyDeleteOh, no!!!!! Not THE CAMERA!!!!! I've been wondering about that Nicky Epstein book (as if I have time for more knits). Happy travels! x
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win either one. The colorwork one would be more of a challenge for me though because I tend to avoid colorwork as much as possible!
ReplyDeleteoh no!! I would cry too. Poor Leslie.
ReplyDeletewhat a gem of a giveaway! color by kristen would add nicely to my new knitting library...happy thanksgiving right back at you!
ReplyDeleteI almost cried when I had to send my camera away, too. They told me 6-12 WEEKS! Thankfully they underpromised and over-delivered and it (happily) came back in 4 weeks. I really hope that the same happens to you. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win the knit a kiss in every stitch book. That exactly what I like to think of as I knit: a prayer in every stitch!
ReplyDeleteThanks for making me think about knitting once again. Would love to have a copy of the knit a kiss looks like a good one
ReplyDeleteThis is so nice of you! I have never commented before, but I would like to say that I love your blog, projects, and photography! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with Kristen's color combinations. They scream happy, as I would scream happy if I were to win it! Happy Family Day~Jan
ReplyDeleteThank you! I would love the color book because I'm so intimidated by it.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your camera. I would love to win the Nicky Epstein book.
ReplyDeleteleslie! Do you have a camera back-up? I would cry too!
ReplyDeleteOh yay! How exciting! I would especially love the Nicki Epstein, but either would be a welcome addition to my library:)
ReplyDeletehow nice of you...would love "knit a kiss"...btw...I love your blog...I check every day in hopes you have posted. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving. Either book looks divine and a terrific way to spend Christmas vacation. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI have just taught myself to knit socks! I am so pleased but I don't know where to go from here. I would love to win one of these books for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteBoth books look great. I have been looking hard at Knitting with Color. It looks really great.
ReplyDeleteSusann
Love both of them (and you look so cute "reading".) Thanks for the tip on the white shirts, also. I have ended up with quite a few!
ReplyDeleteooo, goodie, I'd love to win! Sorry to hear about your camera.
ReplyDeleteThose look like lovely books! I would love the Nicky Epstein book!
ReplyDeleteas my son would say, "sad face" about your camera and the fingerless gloves. it just goes to show how rattled you were to part with your camera. :(
ReplyDeletei would love to have the knit a kiss book; really either one would be happily received.
Count me in! I'd love either, but the first would be the one I'd choose if I was picking. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I would love to win either book - they both look fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the camera! The screen on ours broke a few months ago, so you couldn't preview the images. Kind of defeats the purpose of a digital camera:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway--I'd love to win either, but if I had to choose I'd say Knitting a Kiss.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Both books look inspiring- but the knit a kiss one especially. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteTwo great books! Wow - thanks for the gift idea. Both look GREAT! Kate
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I would prefer the Knit a Kiss book.
ReplyDeleteSo sad about the gloves! and the camera!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win the Epstein book! :)
I'd love to have the "knit a kiss" book :)the name is lovely, I'm sure the book is too. What a nice giveaway to warm our hearts :)
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great giveaway! I would love Color by Kristen. This something I would like to learn more about. Thanks! Have a great Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeletei'm crying for you! that just sucks.
ReplyDeletenot the books - those look really nice, but you know the drill, keep me out of the drawing. ;)
So sorry about the camera and the fingerless gloves. Not that it makes you feel better, but we just lost Inishmore at our house (actually at a Number Theory Seminar.) Both books look amazing.
ReplyDeleteoh leslie! what a bad day you had! i truly feel for you, because i would have cried too! thanks for sharing these books, i am hopping over to amazon now to add them to my wish list in case i dont win! id choose either if i did!
ReplyDeleteThey both sound so wonderful! I can't choose!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love either of these books. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteBoth are wonderful! But the color book looks so enticing.
ReplyDeletethank you!
I would love to win a Kirsten color book , nobody does it quite like her . Thank you for offering :)
ReplyDeleteBoth those books sound great! I'd be excited to receive either one. Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteOooh, either one looks good to me, and come over to my place for a chance to win my extra copy of Selvedge mag.
ReplyDeleteHappy thanksgiving, Leslie. Hope you have a wonderful holiday with your family!
*I would be bummed too if my camera went kerplunk, darn.
ReplyDelete*I say the girl at the counter helped herself to your gloves. Let's just hope if it wasn't her that someone who absolutely needed a pair of gloves has them.
*If my name is picked for the drawing, I'd really like the second book full of color - beautiful!
Here's hoping you find the gloves and your camera is fixed, pronto!
oh what a great giveaway--I'd love to check out the nicky epstein book...
ReplyDeleteOh, I am soo, sooooo sorry about the camera. And the gloves! My goodness - that is a terrible day, for sure. No need to enter me, I have both books, and you're right: they're great! Just wanted to add my camera/glove condolences to the list. But wait! How are we going to have pics? Five whole weeks?! That's nuts!
ReplyDeleteWhat great books-Nothing like a great new knitting book. I would have cried right there at the counter too if my camera died.
ReplyDeleteI'm always up for a drawing! Yay! The Kissing Book looks great. Thanks for the chance...Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteYour blog makes me so happy.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the chance to win!
oh no on the camera!!! and on the gloves too.
ReplyDeletemight be a good time to explore making a pinhole camera - they are tons of fun. e-mail me if you would like some links to directions on making them.
this is shameless but I'd love the Kristin book.
I love your blog. Your knits are so wonderful to look at. Nicky Epstein will be at our local knitting store in December..what a perfect way to see her and have something for her to sign.
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping my fingers crossed!
Very generous of you! Two fantastic looking books, although the Nicky Epstein one does make my heart beat a little faster!
ReplyDeleteAhh, I feel so sad that you cried and left his fingerless mitts on the ocunter. This happened to me with my favorite parka vest last winter. It would be a wonderful surprise if your camera comes back sooner. Fingers crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteFirst book sounds really cute.
Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving!!
Exactly how I felt when I took my sewing machine to the shop, and was without it for a month and a half while the part was ordered! I think I'd rather be without my car than my sewing machine!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your camera and your gloves. That stinks. Thanks for letting us sign up for the giveaway, though. That's nice! I'd love A Kiss in Every Stitch if I am selected. Have a happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteOh Leslie! I only know you through your blog but I know how important your camera. I hope its trip to the camera hospital is quick and it's better than ever upon its return.
ReplyDeleteI would not look a gift book in the mouth but I do love the color wheel in Kristin's and think I could learn a lot from her.
love the 'kiss in every stitch' title. It would be my preference, thanks
ReplyDeleteWow, you have a lot of comments already! So sorry about your camera and lost gloves. Thanks so much for the luggage tag link; I love them!! So, please enter me for the Knit a Kiss book! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I'd love to win either of these books. If I HAD to choose, I'd pick #2. What a fabulous give-away! Happy Thanksgiving!! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, two of the most colorful designers out there. I love them both, but I have to admit that I'd chose Kristin Nicholas if I had to choose.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your camera and the gloves. Leaving the gloves behind is so much something that I would do!
I would love to have the book on color. That is my biggest challenge. Hope that you have a Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeletewow, such beautiful books! thanks for offering giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! What a blessing you are to share those amazing books. Either one would be a blessing. THANKS Kelly
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the camera...both of those books sound simply DE-VINE! I am always looking at new ways to use my knitting to give as gifts so the first one sounds good BUT I would love to find a way to use all those color yarns that I have stashed away...so either book works for me. Such a great give-away...
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! What a blessing to share with us. I would enjoy either of the books. what a treat. I hope your camera gets back to you fast. I love seeing all the great pictures. may you be blessed through the holidays and always. kelly
ReplyDeletesorry to hear about your camera and gloves...
ReplyDeletewow i can't believe you are giving these books away!
I'm pretty sure I would do exactly the same thing, although I might of started wailing.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be nice if they gave you a loaner/courtesy camera to use while yours is in the shop, like they do with vehicles when your car is in for repairs?!
Oh, my goodness! I would LOVE either one of these books! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen either of these books yet and both look lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a dissapointing trip to the camera store! I hope there is a back up...your blog will just not be the same with out your wonderful pics for 4-5 weeks : (
Kristin
oh, not the camera! Id have cried, too...
ReplyDeleteBoth books are intriguing, although the first one calls to me ever so slightky more...
Hope the canera-free time passes quickly.
bloggers are so generous-i just can't believe it :) both books look great, but i think i would like a kiss in every stitch best. thanks for the chance to win-happy thanksgiving :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh: sorry about the camera. And the gloves. Maybe there is a silver lining in there somewhere.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being generous in the midst of all that. I wonder what the odds are that I will win this time...
I will miss seeing your photos over these 4/5 weeks, hope you still have access to another camera.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win the Kristen Nicolas colour book, as I would like to take the next step into colourwork.
would love either book but the color by kirsten would fill a gap.
ReplyDeletesorry about your camera will miss your photos.....
I have been without my camera this fall - so you have my deepest sympathy! I would love a new knitting book - "Knitting a kiss" would be my first choice.
ReplyDeleteI want one!!!
ReplyDeleteHi its the stalker brit lady,
ReplyDeleteThese books are gorgeous but who can resist a kiss with every stitch. It just calls to you, irresistably yummy.
Sorry to hear about the camera.
Teresa
OH.. I've been eyeing that Knit a kiss.. :)... both are awesome!.. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your camera! I had that happen to me to ...I bought another while it was being repaired . Your picks from teh book "knkit with a kiss " has inspired me !
ReplyDeleteThanks for the draw !
So sorry about your camera and your gloves! Hopefully the gloves were picked up by someone who needed them. I would love a chance to win Color by Kristin.
ReplyDeleteso sad about the camera AND 'those mitts'. thank you for your giveaway...they both look like great books!
ReplyDeleteThanks for offering the give-a-way, either would be wonderful, but Nicky sounds more my style.
ReplyDeleteOh no!! So sorry for the camera! Five weeks? Ouch. But Happy Thanksgiving nonetheless! Thank you for offering to give away books... I have no preference: my knitting library is still small and I'd be happy about any book. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI would love to be in you contest drawing.Please put my name in.. I am so sorry about your camera. Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun. I really should buy myself a knitting book, but winning knitting a kiss would be great! thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway. Sorry about your gloves and camera. The Nicky Epstein book would definitely be my first choice, but maybe a color work book would force me to branch out?
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm a new knitter, a friend sent me a link to your blog....looks like fun, the "knit a kiss' book sounds interesting to me. Happy Thanksgiving :)
ReplyDelete~Sandy
I would be thrilled to have either one of those books.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
Thanks for the great giveaway. Either book would be a great treat! Sorry to hear about the camera. Your pictures are always beautiful. They inspired me to order my own Nikon (D5000) which should arrive today.
ReplyDeleteSorry about losing the gloves and how long the camera is going to take. Both of those books look great.
ReplyDeleteoh so thankful for you!
ReplyDeletesorry to hear about the camera. just went through that and going without a camera is like going without water!
Love them both but think I'd prefer the color book.
ReplyDeleteVery nice of you by the way - and I love the blog.
either one would be fabulous! thanks, and sorry about your camera....you take awesome pics..(this will sound motherish)..just think how much better it'll be when you get it back!

ReplyDeleteBoy what a great gift. I would be very Thankful for either book ! These may need to go on my Christmas list. I miss previewing these kind of things at the store.

Darlene in PEI
I haven't heard of the first one but I do have the second one in my library queue. I'm interested in seeing what Kristin came up with.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE "Knit A Kiss" for some new inspiration. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI would love Color by Kristin! I own all of her books except this one.She is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win.
I feel so bad for you that you left those gloves and your camera was broken. How awful!
ReplyDeleteThe Knit a Kiss in every stitch book looks amazing. :)
Oh, I am so sorry about your camera AND the gloves. I believe I would have had a little cry too. I would love either book. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Leslie.
ReplyDelete5 weeks! Oh my goodness - it'll be like they've taken your arm or something - I would be lost without mine!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your camera and for your gloves! I hate that! I would love to look through and get ideas from the Knit a Kiss book!! I recently finished the Libby sweater for my Maria - it is lovely, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI would be thrilled if I won either of these! So generous of you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful give-away! I would love the knit a kiss book! My children love love love it when I make them things. This book looks like it has a lot of cute ideas!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting such a generous give-away! Knitting a Kiss in Every Stitch sounds great, but I would be delighted with either book
ReplyDeleteWow. I'd love to win either one of these books, but would probably get a lot more use out of Nicky Epstein's book.
ReplyDeleteWhat a Fabulous "Give Away"! I would love love either book. Here's wishing you and your family a Wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI would be blessed with & thankful for either one! I still love your blog & the things you knit! Thanks for sharing a little of your day with the rest of us!
ReplyDeleteI hope it is still wednesday with you! I'm a great fan of colour so Kristen's book would be my choice:)
ReplyDeleteI hope the camera gets well soon!
So sorry to hear about your camera. Not a good time of year to be without one.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Thanksgiving and thank you for this giveaway opportunity. Either book would be happily received.
Eep, sorry about the camera. At least it is fixable. And the fingerless gloves...at least it's a good excuse to knit some more?
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet book giveaway! I think either book would be lovely to receive as a prize. I haven't looked at either in person but I've heard wonderful reviews.
Wow...what a great giveaway! I would LOVE Knitting a Kiss in Every Stitch!! I had the chance to see it at the bookstore the other day and it's FABULOUS! I have it on my things-to-get-after-Christmas-bills-are-paid list but gosh..who wants to wait THAT long?!?!
ReplyDeleteYikes! I have to come out of lurkdom for this. I've been enjoying your blog for quite awhile. Thank you so much for sharing your craft with us; it brightens my day to see your work and hear your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI love Kristen's books and colorwork! The colors are so cheerful and the patterns so happy. I've made a few projects inspired by her work and have her book Kristen Knits already. I would just loooove to win Color by Kristen!
Wow! I would be very happy with either book. Thank you sooo much and Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteOh, the book with the kiss, I love it!
ReplyDeleteBoth books sound great. I would love to win either one.
ReplyDeleteI hope your camera is feeling better soon. =(
Oh yea. Love those books - would love Kristin's book most of all!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
Trishia
Wow! I'd like either book, but the color book sounds interesting. Oh, I don't know. They both are sounding interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe lose of your camera at this time of year I would cry too. The books will give you something pretty to look at until you can take your own beautiful pictures again. I would love to peak at the knitting a kiss book. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI would love knit a kiss also, but I would be thrilled with anything! Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI would love either...no camera... does the world look a bit different?
ReplyDeleteOh...I would love to win one of these books. I love having new ideas right at my fingertips.
ReplyDeleteHow kind of you to give away such nice books. I would love to have the N. Epstein book. Her stuff is so inspirational.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry about your camera (and the gloves). But please KEEP TAKING PICTURES - use a P&S, a disposable, your phone - anything really! Because it's not the camera that makes the photo - it's your amazing vision and ability to capture an entire story in just one shot. You are so talented and your amazing images always inspire! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving - and take lots of pictures.
ReplyDeleteI would absolutely love either book! They look wonderful. Have a great Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win.
Jen Kolakowski
Both of these books look amazing, my daughter loved the mittens & socks that match, so that would be tippity top preference!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Thanksgiving! Maybe Santa needs to get you a new camera just in case?? The holidays are very close indeed.
"Knitting a Kiss" sounds fabulous! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI would love either of the books. Happy Thanksgiving. I love reading your blog!
ReplyDeleteKnitting is a labour of love. Knitting a kiss is a perfect title! Heading home to Michigan from Ontario for Thanksgiving on the 25th. Thanks for the blog and hope your camera gets better fast!
ReplyDeleteI have Kristin's book so I would love Nicky's book.
ReplyDeleteSo, so, so, SORRY about your poor camera! I mean poor you for having to go without for so long...
ReplyDeleteI would love knitting a kiss so much. Please please!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the give-away opportunity! Would love either, but maybe #1 a wee bit more.
ReplyDeleteBest.
What a sweet giveaway! I would love Knitting a Kiss. Sounds super fun.
ReplyDeleteI'd love either book!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the camera fairies. I love all your photos. Happy Thanksgiving!!
Gah! I don't know what I would do without my camera for a day, let alone 4-5 WEEKS, and my camera is nothing fancy! Yikes! I brought mine along on a camping trip once and realized after our arrival that I had left the memory card at home, in the computer... I was so disappointed. I really can't even imagine... and if you're anything like me, losing those fingerless gloves, on top of what already happened, would have really put you in a bad mood. I'm so sorry!
ReplyDeleteYou are too kind to offer a giveaway like this. Knitting a Kiss in Every Stitch sounds like a fun, sweet find.
I hope the rest of your week goes much better! Happy Thanksgiving!
Are you SERIOUS? No CAMERA? Can't you BORROW one? I don't know what I'd do and this really bothers me that you are without your camera. I get inspiration from your photos on a regular basis, parent vicariously and believe I can knit...and this certainly will not do.
ReplyDeleteHuzzah, I love online giveaways! I would be thrilled with either book! Though if I really had to pick, I would lean toward the "knitting a kiss" book. It sounds darling!
ReplyDeleteOh those books look lovely. I would probably get more use out of Knit a Kiss - but . . . g
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm Erica (named after Susan Lucci's character - Erica Kane - on the soap All My Children). I'm a lover of books and of knitting. My sisters Deb and Kat gifted me with knitting lessons back in 2008. Since then, I've knit a scarf that's kept a friend warm on her travels from Florida to Minnesota and Alaska. I'm always looking for knitting inspiration which is sometimes hard for a Florida gal such as myself.I'm currently working on a Noah's Ark baby afghan (Michele Wilcox design) for my nephew who is due on March 28, 2010 (my 30-something bday!). I'm also working on some Christmas gifts for my sweet daughters and a hat for my DH. Happy, Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteYow, I am in love with both books! I have one of Kristen's other books, and it's one of my favorite sources of inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI feel for you in this traumatic camera moment. I had to run without my ipod for a few weeks, and it was like someone had stuffed my shoes with kryptonite - it's hard to get by without the stuff we use everyday!
Either book would be great! Count me in and thank you!
ReplyDeleteI already have Kristin's book, so would love to have Nicky Epstein's. I'm a big fan of both women. Thanks for a great give-a-way!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a lovely to provide a holiday give away! I'd love the "Knit a Kiss" book because it has a little bit for everybody. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteOoo They are both scrummy!!Happy Thanksgiving.x
ReplyDelete
