knitting.needles@yahoo.co.uk
My knitting resolution for 2011 was to be a little scared (challenged) by every project I tackled this year. This book, and these lovely yarns, would really push me outside my comfort zone and expand my knitting skills. Thank you for this lovely opportunity.
I have not used the Fiber Co. Yarns but they look so lush and pretty. Also this book is a must buy! Thank you so much for having such a wonderful giveaway!

I haven't used Fiber Co. yarns yet, but they sure look luscious in your photos. Soft colors are always my faves - hematite, Savannah in Hickory, so many lovely colors.
I've never used the yarn before (and don't have a favorite colorway) however, the yarn is beautiful!
I haven't had a chance to try out the Fiber Co. yarns, but the textures and colors look wonderful! I'd love to try them all.
I haven't used these yarns before but they look beautiful. I especially like the Autumn Jasper, Malachite and Quetzal colourways.
I haven't had the chance to use the Fiber Company yarns, but after seeing this post I'd really like to! All of those colours look really lovely. Thanks for hosting! (SarahVV on Rav)
I haven't used this yarn either. The blue and purple that you photographed in this entry is GORGEOUS. Thanks!
Wow! What a giveaway! I have long coveted the Fiber Co. yarns but have never used them. So soft and lovely!
I have not used The Fiber Company yarns before, but I love the gemstone names they gave the Road to China colorways. I would have to say Peridot is my favorite, partially because it is my birthstone!
Awesome giveaway. The girls sounds lovely on the podcast, looks like a great book to add to my library.
What a great giveaway! I have not used the Fibre Co. yarns yet, but would love to!

Me, me!
I've not used this yarn before. All the colors look wonderful. Love this blog!
Wow, what a great give away! I have not heard of their yarns until just recently. My daughter and I were checking out the book in B&N the other night. She is 17 and was really liking a lot of the patterns. A true complement to the authors! ;) I will certainly be purchasing the book!
I haven't used yarn from the Fibre Company yet, but it's clear that I need to soon!
Beautiful colors and thanks for the giveway !!
I've never had a chance to use Fiber Company yarns; I haven't found a yarn shop in my area that carries them. Clearly, this is a terrible situation and must change!
Wow, I have never even seen this yarn before! But, thank goodness, there are apparently not one but two yarn shops within a reasonable distance of me that carry it! Thanks so much for this giveaway, the absolute wealth of yarn and patterns is overwhelming!
I havne't usse the Fiber Co. yet, but it sure looks delicious! Thanks for the giveaway!
Wow! What a prize! What a great chance to try out these yarns that everyone seems to be raving about these days. And on a sad note...June is really a long time away, looking forward to the new season!
I've never used their yarns before, but holy cow, do I want to!
I Love these yarns! I have never used them but they look beautiful, so soft and warm. I am a new knitter and your wonderful blog has exposed me to all these wonderful options and great companies!

Another lovely giveaway. Thank you so much.
Fantastic giveaway. I have "Vintage Modern Knits" book on my Amazon wish list. I haven't used Fiber Co. yarn before, but colors look amazing.
WOW! What awesome prizes! It would be great to finally get to use the Fibre Company yarns - I've been lusting after them!
I've used Road to China for some luxurious mitts, and Road to China light for a leafy shawl for my mom's birthday. I've been dying to try Canopy and Savannah. My favorite colorway is malachite, though I really like the new colorway conifer!
wingedquartet@gmail.com
I've used Terra, Canopy Worsted Fingering and Road to China. My favorite colorway is probably Kaffir Plum. These yarns are absolutely delish. sunaynaramdeo@gmail.com

I've never gotten to try their yarns. This is a great giveaway.
I love Road to China, but haven't tried Canopy yet! WOuld love to do one of these projects with it!
I have used the Fibre company yarns many times. I love Terra and Organik the most. I made my MIL a scarf with Road To China Light which she loves! What a great giveaway :)

Oh wow! It all looks so beautiful!
I have not used this yarn yet, but the colors look gorgeous!
What a generous giveaway! I have not as yet used and Fiber Co. yarns. I absolutely love all the colors.....so much so that I cannot pick a favorite.
I've never used RTC hyarn but would sure love an opportunity! You have such generous sponsors :-)
I have never used the Fiber Co yarns, but I would love to have the opportunity. Sounds like some lovely gifts. I am into the warm colors, autumnal colorways. More subdued than vibrant. But then I make the vibrant colors for gifting, so I would enjoy any color.
I have not used this yarn before, but every single color on this post is gorgeous!
I haven't ever used this yarn before, but they are really pretty.

I've never used The Fiber Co yarns. I've been interested in trying them, but haven't had a chance.
Hi Alana! Terrific season finale podcast.
I have not yet used the Fibre Company yarns, but that's because I haven't been able to find it in my local yarn shops in Cincinnati. I am particularly fond of the Canopy Fingering in the Acai colorway and Road to China Worsted in the Dark Amethyst colorway. I'd love to win one of the giveaways, so I can finally try out their yarns on one of their beautiful patterns.
Hope you have fun at Stitches West! Looking forward to your next design and future podcasts.

I love blog and your patterns are so gorgeous!! I would love to win one of the prizes. Thanks so much!
I must admit I've never used this yarn and this is the first that I've even heard of the company. I'm so new to knitting and have much to learn. I would love the chance to win! Love the book and your podcast.
I have never used the Fibre Company's yarns - YET - but I would absolutely love to try them out! The colors are amazing and I am salivating over the things I could make!! You never disappoint with your give-aways! This one is awesome, as usual :)
Thanks again, Julie Witt

What an awesome giveaway. I'm always excited about vintage or vintage inspired patterns.
I haven't used the Fiber Company yarns but now that I'm seeing this book and the patterns in it, I think I will be using these yarns. The yarns are lovely and the patterns are fabulous.
I haven't used Fiber Co. yarns yet either, but I love that buttery yellow...
bowmanrach@gmail.com
I have used Canopy, Terra, Organik and Savannah and a discontinued line called Khroma, and I have loved them all. My favorite colorways are Acai, Crater Lake, Fjord and Magma. Love.
I would love to win these beautiful prizes.
What a delicious giveaway! I haven't used their yarns before but I think my favorite colorway is the Organik Desert Canyon.
I never used this yarn but the colors are SO BEAUTIFUL!! I would love to win either! Thanks, once again, for a wonderful giveaway.
What an awesome prize. I have never used yarn from Fiber Co. before.
I've never used any of their yarn. You can't get it here (not very easily anyway), so I'd have to order it online. And I'm one of those people LYS owners hate because I have to touch everything before I buy it ;)
Love the podcast, see you in June!
I have never used Fiber Company yarns, but they look lovely! The Sumac colorway is really beautiful, but so are many of the other colors. THeir book has some amazing patterns. I look forward to getting my hands on a copy.

Wonderful giveaway! I haven't used this yarn before, but it looks yummy!
Never Knitted with Fibre Co. but the colors are so rich. Can't wait to win!

I've never used their yarn before but I definitely want to; the colors are so beautiful!
I never used these yarns before, but I would love to. And the book is wonderful too, I would love to start knitting garments... I love the Sapphire color in the Road to China series....

Kristi
wow - how generous! i've never used those yarns before, and would just love to see what i've been missing :P
I have 6 hanks of Road to China Light in Plum Jasper in my stash and just can't stop squeezing it enough to knit something with it - maybe these patterns will be the perfect solution to this little problem ;)
Beautiful colors! I haven't used that yarn before.

I've never used this yarn before but it looks yummy!
Uh! Heart-stoppingly beautiful!!
What a terrific giveaway ... thanks to all of you!!
I haven't used any Fiber Co. yarns yet, although I've been curious after seeing many lovely projects made from them on Ravelry. Their blends sound exotic and worth getting my hands on. :)
I loved the pod cast and can't wait for the next season; I hope you have a good time during the "off season".
I have not used any of the yarn from the Fiber Company, but I have my eye on the Road to China Light in Malachite, just beautiful!
I'm pretty new to knitting, but the more I read about the Fibre Company's yarns, the more I am convinced to get my hands on some! It's hard to choose just one colorway, but I am really quite smitten with Lapis in the Road to China collection, and I love how subtle yet beautiful Sarsparilla is from Canopy.
I've never even seen them before today. I love that yellow, so rich!
I have never used this yarn before, but wow! What beautiful colors!
I follow their blog and their patterns and love this book! How great!
*crosses fingers*
I have never used the Fiber Co yarn but I am so tempted to put this first on my list for next yarn to use. I would love to win some. :) Thanks for the blog I have just started to read it this year and have really enjoyed the podcast.
I have not used these yarn s before. I heard your interview last night and went straight to Ravelry to find out more about them and their new book! I can't wait to get my hands on both the yarn and patterns!!
I've used Terra, and I loooove it. So excited to make the sweater on the cover using Terra. My favorite Fibre Company colorway is Atoll, a blue available in Organik.
I haven't used their yarns yet, but hope to change that after winning a prize! The colors are beautiful.
What an amazing giveaway. Thanks!
I have yet to have the pleasure of using The Fibre Co yarns yet but that purple is sooooo pretty!
Alana, you always have the best giveaways. I can't believe how soft those yarns look even through the computer screen. I'll have to look for them the next time I'm at the LYS!
I would love to win this and enjoy knitting with this yarn.
Pick me.....
Marlene M.
omg, my LYS doesn't carry Fibre Company yarns and these look perfectly delicious!
I've never used their yarn before, but it looks scrumptious! All the colors are warm and lovely. I'm just starting to branch out into the nicer yarns; this would be a great help!
I've not used Fibre Company yarns before but they are lovely. I like the Road to China Lapis colorway! :)
What a generous and awesome giveaway! I would most certainly knit every one of those patterns! :) And I can't decide if I'd rather be a first or second prize winner! :)
I love Fibre Company yarn! I just finished a hat in Canopy Worsted-- it's addictively soft and fuzzy. My favorite color is probably Plum. Thanks for the great giveaway! I'm rigatoni on Ravelry.
I've never used the yarn before, but the Road to China in Lapis looks like it would be stunning...
OH WOW! This is a great giveaway!
Holy hell, Savannah looks interesting."Slate" looks gorgeous. I love a good gray.
The yarn looks beautiful. And with classic designs with a modern fit - I can't wait

Great giveaway. I've never used this yarn.
I haven't used this yarn yet, I've been excited to ever since I found out about Courtney Kelley's adventures. She and I are in the same community, and I've always been an admirer of her knitting. So psyched to see her published!
Also, I recommend Wednesday WIPs on the Kelbourne blog.
I've never used this yarn, but it's gorgeous. I hope I win! I would be able to make a great birthday present for my mom.
I haven't used Fiber Co. yarns yet - but your photos make me drool! And I've been eyeing this book. Thanks for a chance to win!

Oh wow, fantastic giveaway! I've never used this yarn, but it's definately on my want&need-list!

I haven't used Fibre Co. yarns, but it looks as though I'm missing out. I'm loving that pink-y/purple-y skein and the pale greens. That book looks fantastic, too.
Alana, this is such a wonderful give away! The prizes are fantastic and the book and yarn are wonderful!
I have not yet had the opportunity to use Fibre Co Yarns. But looking @ their website I would love to get my mitts on some Savannah in Persimmon.

Too many good things!
