I would love to have a book to help me make myself a sweater. glongley on Ravelry
Love, love, love the stories. They are great. This one had special meaning to me. Knitting has been therapy, meditation, and a way to be creative for me. Thank you.
Sorry to hear you've been dealing with sickness, hopefully everyone is on the mend, I am loving the cowl in the book. Thanks for the chance! I'm looking forward to seeing the next "Gramps."
Sounds like an interesting book.

Hi Alana! I love listening to your podcast. I enjoy the reviews and stories from other knitters and, of course, hearing what going on in your life. I pretty much only knit seamlessly and would love reading in "The Art of Seamless Knitting" how to convert seamed patterns into seamless. I'll come by when I'm at Stitches West! Oh, and I'm Grandknit on Ravelry!
The design featured on the cover is gorgeous! Looks like a great addition to the knitting library....

I started listening to your podcasts about a month ago and I LOVE them! I am up to Episode 44 and I am going to listen to them all in order. But today, I couldn't help myself and I jumped ahead to the current Episode :)
I would love to win The Art of Seamless Knitting!
Oh, Gramps and the Gramps Cardigan are both on my wish list to knit. :) And I'd love to win the Seamless Knitting book.

I would love the Seamless Knitting book-- I would so much rather be knitting than seaming!
FrazzleDazzle on Ravelry
This would be awesome. Finishing is the worst part of the whole knitting process. I would love to not have to sew my sweaters together :)
I made the Gramps cardigan for my granddaughter at the request of her very fashion conscious mom. Of course I put a little pink in it. It was a big hit. I'd love a whole book about seamless sweaters!

Sign me up for seamless knitting!! I am DramaticLyric on Ravelry.
Just discovered your podcast which led me to the blog. So far I love both! I'd love to win the book, I hate seaming so it is right up my alley. I also love gardening and hiking, so I can tell I'm going to love your botanical knits book when it comes out.
Best,

This book looks very very intriguing. And...I could certainly always use more education on sweater knitting. dianne at suburbanstitcher dot com
Lovely podcast! Taking me through sock mending and making me hate it a little less. Lovely Seamless Knitting book would definitely be well used on my bookshelf.

Wow, there really are a lot of cute patterns in this book. I love the Cabled Cardigan and the Textured Jacket. Gorgeous. I would love to win the book. Thanks for the giveaway. Savannagal on Rav.
Alana. Hello. I just finished knitting your sprout sweater which was seamless. I really loved knitting a seamless garment and would love to knit more seamless garments.
Kind regards,

Excellent podcast! I put the Gramps sweater in my queue and the story was the best I've heard yet on your podcast. Sure, I could use a new book of circular knitting patterns!

Great episode! I love the listener stories about their knitting experiences. I am minnienewman on Ravelry.
Looks like a fantastic book! I listened to you tonight while I was spinning. Enjoyed the podcast. Good luck at Stitches West!
Oh I'm excited to see your new book! Wonderful!
This book sounds perfect for me! I am casting on my first ever sweater for ravellenic games tomorrow and i already know I'm gonna be a seamless lady haha.
Also me and one of my best friends are trekking over to Santa Clara from Spokane Washington to Stitches West and half the reason I wanted to go is so i can have you sign my copy of Botanical Knits in person. I cannot WAIT to meet you. You've been such an inspiration to me as a beginner knitter and your nature inspired designs are what have inspired me to grow and learn as a knitter (because omg all of those cardigans and sweaters with leaves! i MUST learn to make those!) My name is Molly and I'm MollyEmerald on ravelry.
I've got to try--I'm Seamless on Ravelry for just the reason you might think.
On another note, for some reason I lost your feed and for a while thought you had stopped podcasting. It made sense, during the Botanical Knits busyness. I was delighted to find you again. Love listening!
Great Podcast this week! I a huge fan via Coastal Knits and am in the middle of a Rocky Coast right now and would LOVE a copy of the Art of Seamless knitting!

I've checked out this book and it looks great.
This book sounds so interesting. Several of the patterns are calling to me. Thank you for th review and the contest.
Hope you all are feeling a lot better now! Not good that you were all hit with sickness!! The book looks great & there are some lovely looking items is in it! Thanks for the great prize!!

Hello! I came here when I found out about your "Botanical Knits" book, but well, I would love to win "The Art of Seamless Knitting"! -- madtita on ravelry
As a beginner knitter I would love to learn seamless knitting! Thanks for the chance to win..
Really liked your latest podcast. Especially enjoyed Elisa's story.
I'm a long-time listener who only recently got caught up enough to be able to enter an up-to-date prize drawing! The Seamless Knits book you described sounds really intriguing. I would definitely use what I learn in that book to improve my design skills.
Thanks for providing many hours of listening enjoyment as I knit and perform around-the-house tasks, Alana! You educate me and keep me entertained with your nuggets of knitting fun and wisdom.

I love your podcast Alana!! It's always filled with useful information and I learn a lot just listening to you.
Personnally I am a fan of seamless knitting, not only for the convenience of not having to stitch up pieces together but for the beautiful look of your finished product.
I have to admit, I have never knit a sweater before, I guess I am too scared to make a mistake and have to unravel everything (I hate having to undo my work, but being a perfectionist I do it when I have to) but finding seamless sweater patterns online is a pretty big challenge!!
Ahhh.. maybe if I keep listening to your podcast and looking at all the beautiful sweaters you make I will find the courage to start one -- and finish it!!

Hi Alana, I'm a long time listener of the podcast and I love it. It was the first knitting podcast I found and definitely opened my mind to the awesomeness of knitting. Now I host my own podcast (www.pearlofthepacific.info/podcast) but still look forward to listening to yours.
The book looks very interesting. I'm not much of a garment knitter and that is because I'm not a huge fan of seaming. This book would a great addition to my knitting library.
Seamless knitting! Great!

I'm excited to listen to the new podcast. I save them for when I'm stuck in the car waiting for a train. It's like getting my knit fix without knitting. I've tried knitting but the train usually ends and I'm in the middle of a stitch, and darn those people behind me, they want to go and not wait for me to finish that stitch or row.
I can't wait for the new patterns, I'm eyeing the brown rusty colored cardigan.
As a first time listener, I was enchanted! Thanks for wonderful reviews, ideas, and the story by tihe listener on what knitting teaches. I will be listening again! MGBB
I'd love this book as I am knitting my first sweater, here's to hopes that the seams will be... seamless!
(cyclerose on ravelry)
Sorry if this is a duplicate comment - some kind of error loaded when I tried to publish the last one. I only recently (within the past year) discovered your podcast and have been really enjoying it. I really like the recommendations! I especially enjoyed this episode's story and have been thinking about the lessons from knitting this week as a few patterns have been testing my patience. I keep reminding myself that all a mistake means is more time knitting, nothing worse than that. My Ravelry username is monotropa.
As a new pretty new knitter, I'm in slight overwhelm - there's so much out there! Yarns in all colors and sizes, patterns, ravelry, podcasts and blogs. Several friends I knit with listen to podcasts and have recommended a few. After listening to those, I searched to see what else was out there and found Never Not Knitting. I've added it to favorites. The knits on botanical knits are amazing. Thank you for sharing your talent.

The sweaters in that book are gorgeous!! And that little baby gramps sweater is darling!
