Hi, I've already pre-ordered one book, but I know more than one little girl who would enjoy it !!
I'd love to win.
(Goodstuff on Rav)
I am collecting children's books about knitting to share my love of knitting with my grandchildren. Your book is adorable. I would love to have it as well.
Wonderful book, can't wait to receive it!
What a wonderful book! I loved hearing your daughter reading it, she did a brilliant job :)
This must be fate. My GD was off from school for Election Day yesterday. We were sitting and knitting and she brought up the fact that her "scarf" did not look as nice as mine. I had just told her the story about making a "Swiss Cheese" scarf as I had, just the day before read about this particular book coming out. I would love to win this as a very special Nanny Gift for her. She works so hard at her knitting!
I love your podcast! The book looks like a wonderful read! Thanks for offering a giveaway, I have my fingers crossed :)
The book looks wonderful!

What a cute book. It would make a lovely gift for a friend who just had a baby. Congratulations. Savannagal on Rav.
What a cute idea for your book and I loved that you had your daughter read a portion of it on your show. She's a very good reader, especially for a first grader!
I'd love to win a copy of your book to give to a future granddaughter. At the present my only grand child is a 13 month old boy (who loves books more than any of his toys - his favorite thing to do is go to the library!). I'm sure he'd love this book as well, but if I won it, I just think it could be a special gift for a special girl. Thanks for offering this give away!
Ooh, so fun! My daughter would love a copy.

I just love the reading by your daughter on the podcast - Great Job!
My grandson learnt to knit last year and his little sister wanted to learn then - but too little to get the knack - I am so excited that this book will be the answer to her wishes.
I will knit the scarf too - to go with it and I have a perfectly cute pair of little girl needles to match for her. She will be so excited - I can't wait !
Congratulations on your achievement and wonderful ideas.
