You had me laughing out loud with the story of your son and the Little Oak photo shoots. My daughter was about the same age when we tried to get a family photo with our 3 older sons and her. What a disaster, she cried the entire time. We got one photo where she wasn't crying, she was probably taking a deep breath to get ready for a really big scream :)
I love all the knitted toys, I really need to try some, my boys would probably love those dinosaurs.
Thanks for the great podcast!

I haven't knitted any toys yet. These are so cute. I'm sure any child would love one. Thanks for the giveaway.

I really enjoyed listening to the story on the train! People really get intrigued by us knitters. We had a man commenting our knitting at the cafe on Wednesday. He asked: Are you a knitting club? Are you pregnant? He said that his sister started knitting when she became pregnant! Have a great weekend!
Ooo...what cute looking patterns! I love knitting toys. :)

Cute book. ravelry id knitandfelt
The photo shoot story was so funny with your little guy! Want to make this darling sweater!
I do have a little boy who would LOVE a knitted dino or two! Thanks for podcasting again!!
What a great story about the photos of your little oak cardi - the final result looks worth it!
oh my goodness! how adorable! Dinosaurs are sooo cute. My little brothers would love some homemade dinosaurs!
wow, what a fantastic book! (mma on ravelry)
loving the pics on the oak cardi. your kids are so beautifull together wearing there cardigans. thanks for podcasting /eddy from sweden
My granddaughters would love some dinasous!
Knitted Dinosaurs?!?!?! LOVE! What cute patterns. :)
Such a cute story on the picture of your little boy! Thank you for sharing.
As for what I am knitting now - I bought Whee Wildflower to make for my 5-yo daughter, and cannot get the gauge right. No matter what I do - I am still 2 sts off.
Thank you for discount.
Too bad I cannot use it now.
thank you,

I was cracking up about your disastrous baby photo shoots! The sleeping with pinecone shots are priceless. I have the same problem getting good pics of my kids in my knits. Although, my 3-yr-old is harder to photograph than my 9-month old lately...
Just bought yarn today to make Little Oak for my baby boy!
I am a fellow year-round knitter. I only learned to knit a couple years ago, so I'm making up for a lifetime of lost knitting enjoyment. I just made some fingerless gloves in pink and purple for my daughter for this fall, and I want to make some shawls and scarves for myself this summer... once fall hits, it's knitting for the holidays. The knits in this book would make great ornaments. I'd love to win it.

Love the Dino Book! Thanks for the giveaway.
My son loves dinosaurs...and I love the instant gratification of a knitted toy :). Thanks for the giveaway! Ravelry: lilpixie124
I have never made a knitted toy, but I have three babies to knit for right now (two of which I know are boys, one still to be announced). I think this book would allow me to make a cute addition to the afghans I'm planning to knit for these babies!
I'm hooked on Susan B Anderson's Itty Bitty Toys--I just finished a wrap me up pup and now am working on the reversible frog/turtle. I love making knitted toys and have had my eye on this book for a while.

Those dinos are so cute!
With a 3.5 yr old, and another boy due in August, the knitted dinosaurs would be an absolute hit in our house :) Thanks for the giveaway opportunity and another great podcast!

I love both Little Oak sweaters you made for your kids but am especially fond of the red Little Oak sweater you made for your daughter.
I'm glad you are back podcasting. It's my laundry folding listening time. I have three little boys so would love a chance to win the knitted dinosaurs book.
Thanks,

hahahaha! They're sooo cute! I would really like to have this book. However, I won't be knitting dinos for kiddies, at least not at first: I NEED a triceratops of my own! Thanks for offering this giveaway.

I have a baby boy who (I think) needs a knitted dinosaur in his future!
Thank you so much for your wonderful podcast!

Great podcast! So glad you are back. Love the dino book.

For me, summer is the time to knit socks and shawls (especially lace ones). I always have to wear my knitting as soon as it's off the needles, never mind the temperature! So, I don't knit wool sweater and other winter stuff, I juts wait for fall... I know that it would be smarter to plan away and knit for the upcoming season instead of the current one, but I can't help it: my motivation and inspiration are linked to the weather and knowing that I'll wear my finished object as soon they are done!
I have a 2 year old nephew who would love a knit dinosaur! RachelUnraveled on ravelry
Thank you for the great podcast.
Thanks for the podcast.

Love them Dino's would love to knit them.
i love knitting toys. i find adults like them just as much, if not more than the kids.
Would love to knit dino's for my grandsons!
Would also love the chance to knit a few dinosaurs. SandraRum on ravelry
Such a cute book!
Loved the podcast. I would love to try knitting a toy too!

Thank you for this giveaway!
What a cute book! Would be nice to knit for my grandkids. glongley on ravelry
i have the perfect customer for the dinosaur. An adorable three year old boy. He and his twin sister are getting a new baby sister (surprise surprise, mom and dad thought this was not medically possible).Daniel would absolutely love the dinosaurs and he might not feel so outnumbered by the new baby sister he is afraid to have come in the house. Keep up the great designing.
Okay, so now the neighbors are saying "She's taking pictures of her children in knitwear again...poor girl" ;-) Love hearing your latest podcast, please keep them coming!! Charlene (Keppygirl on Ravelry)
Dinos! Can we ever have enough? Fingers crossed...
I love your podcast!! I'd love to win this book! Thanks for the nice giveaway!
Love the story of the eaten knitted toys...my son (1 year) does the same! Rebecca (rebecca6923 on rav)
Really cute book. I loved the story :) Stories are my favorite part.-Tori
Loved your photo shoot story. It was very entertaining. The Coastal Knit for kids patterns are all so adorably cute. I'm sure my grandson and nephew would rather have a knitted dinosaur instead of a sweater!!
knitsta on Ravelry
I can totally relate to your hilarious photo shoot story. I have 6 kiddos myself, and a couple of them have been spit-up kings! If I had taken off the bib (or didn't have one on yet) I could always count on a big mess to follow. So glad you're podcasting again!
KrochetKristin on Ravelry
Love this blog! So happy to be hooked on it.
Welcome back!!
I thoroughly enjoy your podcast. The toys are cute. I spent my 10th anniversary awaiting the birth of our daughter. That was 25 years ago today and now we are busy planning her wedding this August. Incredible how time passes so quickly.

Love the dinos. Thanks for the opportunity.
Love the dinos. Thanks for the opportunity.
When my nephew was first born i made him a dinosaur blanket and two knitted dinosaur toys which can be seen on my ravelry page under my username catgocrazy. I really liked knitting Dinosaurs.
I really enjoyed this podcast. Looking forward to the next.
Just new to your podcast. Enjoying it a lot. Would love to learn to make dinosaurs for my grandson.
Thank you for this giveaway. I'm in love with dinosaurs and would love this book as well.

Thanks for sharing Jen's story - I came home (from walking the dog) and downloaded a couple of her podcasts, to check them out.
The Knitted Dinosaurs book has some cute toys - I took a look at pictures on Ravelry, and the pterodactyl might be my favorite...!

My five year old boy and his cousins would love these dinos, how cute are they! Thanks for another great episode, so glad you've returned. I loved your story about your sons sweater, it brought back memories of my kids when they were young. How easily we forget about all the spit up and how much laundry such a little person can generate!

So glad you are back podcasting, I enjoying your stories and your contributors too. Just have to work up the nerve to record and submit my own ..

I loved this episode.
I have become hard-core knitter I guess. A couple of years ago I started knitting through the summer months. Before that I was a seasonal knitter. Last summer during the terrible heat waves I remember knitting a thick cable hat from angora-merino blend. My friends laught at me but I was really inspired to knit that yarn I got on summer sale and the Ysolda Teagues wonderful pattern. I haven't knit anything big and wolly in the summer yet, but I'm plannin to knit a sweater during the Ravelympics. We'll see how that goes.
Thank you for sharing the story of taking pictures of your son. I also loved the train knitting story.

My son will love you forever if I win this book!!! I made a bunch of the bunny nuggets and chicks to pass out at Easter. They were a hit with all the kids!

I enjoyed listing to the podcast and will check back regularly for new ones. I have crocheted toys but haven't ventured into knitting them yet, being only one year into knitting. My new granddaughter will soon be old enough to play with toys and what's cuddlier than a T-Rex?
My nephew would love for me to knit him a dinosaur.

What a great podcast! I've fallen behind about a year and have some catching up to do. I, too, love to knit toys. I like Susan B. Anderson's Itty Bitty Toys and her other Itty Bitty books.

The play by play story was hillarious! This knitted dinosaur book looks awsome too. I love knitting toys as well :) I'm knitsareforkids on ravlery.
I would love to make these Dino's for my baby boy!
Looking forward to the new Coastal Kids book. I bought Coastal Knits from you at Stitches West this year and just love it!
