  6. I would knit my 8 week old daughter's name for her bedroom in our first house that we're moving into tomorrow.

  7. Funny, my 18 daughter is not keen about my knitting. In fact, I knit her a cabled hat and fingerless mitts this past winter that still have not been worn. My 22 yo son is just the opposite. He loves everything I knit for him and proudly wears the hats and mittens. I'm loving the Knit the Alphabet book and would knit my daughter (yep the one not knit-worthy) a "K" for her college room. I'd also knit names for my younger nephews and nieces- they would love them! Thank you!! llmcguire on Rav

  10. I have a daughter who will be going to college next school year. It would be a great gift to give her for her dorm.

  11. Sitting here listing to your 'no like it' from your son. When my daughter was a toddler (she's now 31), I knit her an Aran sweater. She screamed every time I got it near her. Took a while before I knit for her again.

  12. I would knit all three grandkids there names. Thankfully they only have 3-5 letters in their names.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I would love this book! I'd definitely spell out my kids' names!

    ReplyDelete
  14. I want to knit my two lovely girls their names.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I would love to knit my three-year-old daughter's name since she just learnt how to spell it. It is her proudest achievement.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I would knit the name of the new addition to my family. My cousin recently had a baby, and it would be really neat to have a piece of decor that would be useful later for learning how to spell her name correctly.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I'd make the initials of all of my college roommates to send to them! We graduated this past spring and are all starting our new homes. I'm sure knit initials would look great!

    ReplyDelete
  18. I would knit my initials so I can spruce up my dorm room when I go off to college next year. They'd be a great way to add something snuggly in a brand new place!

  19. I would knit a word or phrase for my daughter's wall.

  22. Hi! I just discovered your podcast, and I had a delightful near-hour earlier today listening to it. I'm sad you'll be on hiatus until July, but I'm glad for the opportunity to catch up on your older episodes before you come back!

    My seven-year-old stepdaughter has a VERY uncommon name, and, as such, very rarely gets any items with her name on it. Anything that has her name is, of course, personalized for her. She loves the handknitted items I've made for her, so I'm sure she'd love a set of letters spelling her name for her bedroom here!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I would love to knit little letter pillows to throw all over a bed or a chair. They look really fun!

  24. Thank you for offering this contest! My daughter, who is 9 years old, recently learned to knit. I thought we could work on her name together to decorate her (soon to be) new room. The necklace looks absolutely lovely, as well! nysunshine@justbeads.zzn.com

    ReplyDelete
  25. Ooo, I would love to be able to knit letters for all my grandees but not sure if you post to UK, x

    ReplyDelete
  26. I would use the alphabet letters for a 'sign' in the window of the yarn shop I knit for, as well as some cuddle toys for my 2 yr. old great granddaughter.

    ReplyDelete
  27. My daughter (also a knitter) homeschools her daughter. I would love to knit this alphabet with her to use for a fun way to teach reading to her 6 year old.

    ReplyDelete
  28. What fun- I would love to win the necklace and book! I loved hearing your son's reaction to the sweater- ahhh

    ReplyDelete
  29. I would knit my son's name for his room. All sweaters and cowls my mum or I have knit for him have been declared not wearable because apparently they were all scratchy - even the cotton one... so no more knitwear for him! ;-) But I think he'd really like the letters!

    ReplyDelete
  30. How marvelous! I have been hoping for decades some young talented designer would come up with this kind of pattern! I'm a Grandmother now and I would knit letters for the younger generations and just maybe inspire a few of them to learn the fine art of knitting.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I loved the idea of using them as pillows! But I'd probably spell out my godson's name for the parents too decorate his nursery.
    Thanks as always for the chance to win! I'm ShadowAP on Rav.

  32. I would knit the word "NEST" to put on my bird duvet.

    ReplyDelete
  33. My four year old refused to wear any of her knits until this year. Actually, the only the only handknit she'll wear is your Playful Stripes Cardigan (she wears it daily and even sleeps in it). But sadly this morning, we discovered she lost it at daycare

    ReplyDelete
  34. What a fun book, would be great fun to do some ABC.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I would love to knit a W for our living room couch. This is such a cool idea! I think it would be such a cool gift, too! Katie W.

  38. Oh, so many uses! Definitely initial pillows for my kids. And maybe for the master bedroom too. Since our last name is so short, we could also make some big ones for wall decoration.

    Thanks for a fun episode!

    ReplyDelete
  39. These letters would be great gifts for all kinds of occasions! That necklace is beautiful, I sure hope to be the lucky winner.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I would love to knit a garland spelling 'Mr & Mrs Walsh' for my wedding :) it would be a lovely touch and suit my venue and theme perfectly!

  46. My toddler son was never a fan of wearing knitted garments and that has not changed even now that he is 10. More knitting for me!

    I would make the word "knit" with the letters to hang on my wall. :)

  47. Hilarious episode! I love these letters and would knit some for my kids, as well as for all of the babies that my friends are having.

  51. I'd love to make some letters for my 2 grandkids.
    Regarding your son's rejection of the sweater: I feel for you, since that happened to me as well. And my son (around 7) had picked out the pattern and the yarn himself! That was the last sweater I knit for him...
    Back to your problem. Maybe if you let him choose special buttons for the sweater, he'll like it better. They could be teddy-bear-shaped, or shaped like cars or trucks... you'll find lots of choices on Etsy. Just a thought!

    Cheers

  52. I'd like to knit my daughter's name but as it has 8 letters it could take a while, so I'd probably stick to initials. And in my dream craft room I would knit 'KNIT'!

    ReplyDelete
  53. I made that sweater for my grandson. He looked adorable in it and seemed to like it, but this whole winter has gone by and I am pretty sure he has never worn it. Oh, well, what can one do?
    Anyway, I'd knit my grandkid's initials as fun pillows for their beds.
    Thanks, Alana, for another wonderful season of podcasts!

    ReplyDelete
  54. I would love to knit initial pillows for my husband and I. So cute!

  61. Knitting letters and suspending them from a decorative wire to identify my children's bedrooms would be really cute. My kids have short names so that would be quite easy.

    ReplyDelete
  62. My 3 and 6 year old boys can't seem to keep their hands to themselves right now. I'd knit "No" and "Stop," because I'm losing my voice from saying it so much. sherryn76 on ravelry.

  66. Letters for future grands and greats. The texture would make great teething toys, larger ones for over the crib. There are so many idea in my head. Oh, and for the big brothers or sisters. Can't forget them.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I'd love to spell something out on my couch (maybe "NO DOGS" but since the monster can't read....), or perhaps across the head of my bed! Maybe our last name for now, and once we have a mini, the mini's name. That necklace is precious!

  70. I'd knit my grandson's initials for their rooms. p.s. I'm a selfish knitter now that the grandkids are old enough to have an opionion about their knitwear - 'no like it' would break Grandma's heart. Your podcast was hilarious!

    ReplyDelete
  71. I really want to knit up the word 'MAKE' and claim a corner of our living space for just that purpose. Or else gift knit initials for new babies my friends have.

  72. I would love to knit letters for my many nieces and nephews for their bedrooms.

  77. my 3 1/2 yo granddaughter is learning her letters so what a fun way for children to learn - pick out the colours, watch it being knit, maybe do some of the stitches, help to stuff it and all the while learning.

    ReplyDelete
  85. I think these letters would be excellent for young children to teach "themes" - such as S.H.A.R.E. and S.A.F.E. - so many opportunities to teach and be creative! Thank you for the opportunity to win such wonderful gifts.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Just purchased "Annie and the Swiss Cheese Scarf" for myself and my three-y.o. son, who is fascinated by my knitting and constantly asking me to knit him things! (Pirate hat, birds, other animals). His first name starts with "K" and he loves to find letters everywhere we go! Would love to knit him up a bunch, starting with his name.

  91. Hi Alana, I love Claire Garland's patterns! I also made several "babes" years ago along with 2 horses for my girls- one gray, 1 brown. We own a private swim club (opened in 1959) called "The Surf Club": I think it would be cool to knit "Surf Club" in several shades of blue for our lobby. We have fun bringing surf style to Central IL!! Thanks, Erin

    ReplyDelete
  92. I'd like to make initials for baby gifts. Last initial before the baby is born, then first initial afterwards. Cute book!

    ReplyDelete
  93. The letters are cute, but honestly, I'm not sure I'd made any - at least until we have more youngsters in the family again. I really like the necklace though.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I would make the first initials of my kids; after the ampersand was mentioned, I thought that a bride's and groom's initials could be cute.

  100. I told my husband about your son not wanting to wear the sweater, and he said "It's a guy thing". So there you go, LOL!

    I would love to win the book...not sure exactly how I would use the letters yet (maybe form a short word like "home" and hang it on the wall), but I would be interested to see how the shaping of these letters is done.

    Enjoy your well-deserved break Alana!

    Also, I'd love to be entered to win the necklace :)

  121. Loved the story of your little guy and his Gramps sweater. He looks adorable in it, complete with the grouchy look the designers mention on the pattern! I just knit this one, too. The next time that you want him to wear it, you could sneak something into the pocket to surprise him. I love pockets for this reason. When I give this sweater to my niece for her new little one, I plan to tuck in some little thing for her to find. As always, I will be mindful of small things, choking hazards, etc. But pockets are just begging for surprises, and life is better with surprises!

    ReplyDelete
  122. I like LOTS of pillows on the bed. I think it would be fun to knit the word DREAM and attach letters to each other so they can top of the collection.

  125. This is my first listen to your podcast, and indeed first visit to your blog; I'm very excited to have found you!
    I have just had a very similar "No Like It" experience. After lovingly knitting this fabulous tweedy cardigan (I guess that's uk speak for sweater?) that have been on my needles for at least 3 months, darling son responds with exactly that: No like it! Well actually he says "No Like-egg" but it's pretty obvious what he means! I told him he couldn't go outside to play with the dog without it on, which kinda worked but I think he made a pact with her to immediately get it off him by attacking the sleeve! Needless to say cardigan came straight back off...
    Anyway, the knitted alphabet book looks awesome, I think I'd endeavour to make enough for the Boy to use when learning to spell! Or at least his name.
    Looking forward to exploring your blog & what I've been missing all this time! Happy knitting :)

  146. Listening to you and your know and the No like it sweater reminded me of my 3 yo. I did the Knitmore trick of getting really cool buttons for her current sweater. I'm also love idea of knitting an alphabet. Right now I'm thinking mid sized letters to put into a bucket to help my 3yo learn her letters. But I'd also like to knit their first initial for their beds. Maybe even exand on the magnet idea and make it so the letters can stick together for their name.

  147. I love the idea of an L, B, and I for my kids' beds, and if I feel even more ambitious, I would do their entire names (thank goodness they have short names!) It would also make great gifts for my friends with new babies.

  154. These are so cute! I am a teacher and think these letters would be great classroom decorations. I have a friend who is a first grade teacher; I bet these would be great for her students as well!

  156. I would make the initials of both of my daughters. Dreaming big I'd make their whole names, but daughter number two is due in 7 weeks and I don't think I'll have the time for a while. Now to decide on her name...
