That book looks adorable, I could use some good ideas of things to knit for my little guy!
yes please! Looking forward to the next podcast! mlittlefield on Ravelry
I just had a baby boy in March, so I'd love a copy of this book!
Love this book - I can see my little guy in atleast 5 projects. Exciting :)
I have two boys who love my hand knit sweaters and I'm always looking for more ideas and patterns. These are lovely. Thank you for the giveaway! knitinmountains on Ravelry

I love listening to your podcast! I'm so sad it's already time for a break! Thank you for the awesome give away. I haven't knit a sweater yet because I'm scared. I think a baby sweater would be the perfect way to start. Also I am IN LOVE with that yarn! Wouldn't it be the coolest thing to find another skien that matches the creme/inside color and do some sort of design with the 2 so that when you walk out side, suprise!, there is the design!
Another wonderful giveaway! Good patterns for boys are hard to come by.

What a great book! Thanks as always for the chance to win. I'm ShadowAP on Rav.
I just typed out a long comment and I'm not sure it went through. Short version:
COLOR CHANGING YARN?!?!?
I really like the patterns in this book, and would enjoy knitting them for my future nephew(s). The color-changing yarn would make a fantastic lace hat!
I have a little cousin on the way. I would love to knit something for him out of this book!

Thanks once again for the terrific giveaway! Looking forward to next season
Love this book! Knitting for the boys are never easy since they don't want to "look girly." The book is the perfect solution.

I have just finished two of your patterns for myself, Gnarled Oak and Entangled Vines. It is never easy to find patterns for little boys so this would be ideal for my grandsons. I would love to win it.
I have two boys so I find this a great give-away! Thank you for the chance...
That book looks wonderful. A friend has 5 grandsons I like to knit for.
I've heard about yarn that glows in the dark, but never about yarn that changes its colour under the sun. Thank you for the giveaway!

Just discovered your podcast - loving it! Will have to keep myself going until the next series by going back and listening to old 'casts :)
Really struggle to find modern, handsome patterns for boys...this book certainly fits bill for that! Can't wait to work my way through it clothing my little guy.
Knitting for boys is often hard. This book will make it easier.
Thank you for another wonderful episode! I would love this book for ideas for my son and three nephews! I also have four daughters so I am so excited about this color changing yarn they would love! Thank you for the giveaway! JamieRoseKnits on Ravelry
Three grandsons three and under, I could so use this book!
knitzincville on Ravelry
That story had me laughing out loud! I can imagine my toddler watching Sesame Street (or just watching me) and doing something like that.
I love the idea of a book of patterns for boys. I'm sure my nephews would appreciate it. That yarn sounds awesome! My Rav ID is aroseb.
Thanks for hosting this giveaway.
Such a cute book! Must make a few of these for my nephew. ostaraslight on ravelry

Great gift! My 4 years old twin boys would benefit a lot from the patterns! My oldest girl would love the Abracadabra Yarn!!! Butterflyazul on Ravelry!

Sounds like a interesting yarn, I need to look into this.
I knit often for the boys in our family. Love the idea of a new book with "boy" knits featured. DeniseCT on Ravelry
I love your podcast, and will miss you during the break.
I really need a book on knitting for boys. My son loves my knitting, and constantly wants to know if I am knitting for him. My daughter, likes to take scissors to anything I give her.

I would love to own that book. I have a two year old nephew who is rapidly growing out of the jumper I knit him last year, and some of those patterns would really suit him. I'm Bonski Beat on Ravelry.
I also just wanted to mention that I really enjoy the knitters personal stories that you feature on your podcast, and especially the one in this episode. The mental image of a little girl trying to "shear" her cat and knit with the fur is one that will stick with me for a while!!
I have two older girls I've enjoyed knitting for a lot, and now I have a seven month old baby boy and I'm not having the easiest time finding patterns to knit for him. I'd love to have this book so I can dress him in tons of beautiful woollies!
Thanks for the opportunity.

I'm excited to check out Kate Oates' work thanks for sending me in her direction. It will nice to have a book for boys. My ravelry name is agedge.
I have 3 grandsons (so far)! This would be perfect!
I've been wanting to try this yarn and the pattern book looks amazing!
Now that I have a grandson, my first grandchild now age 2 months, I will need to start gathering patterns for future patterns. It sounds like it will keep him in sweaters for a long time.

That yarn sounds so interesting! Thanks for sharing it with us on the podcast!
Another fab episode, what a great idea, color changing yarn!!!!!
Ravelry: tinkhickman
YES!! There are so few books for boys! And also very few for the 8-16 year old crowd...just saying.
Hi, I'd be thrilled to win this book! I knit for my two grandsons, they love their "Gamma Mades" Thanks again!
This would be great to knit for my 6 nephews. (No girls in my family!)
dominique69 on Ravelry
What fun! I've been wanting to see the Knit for Boys book since I first heard about it ;) (Mooch on Ravelry)

This would be super-helpful for inspiring more knits for my young son! Alana I am a huge fan of your patterns!
I saw some of that yarn in my LYS and thought it looked like fun! I didn't buy any, though -- so winning it would be great. :) I have a lot of nephews and nieces that I like to knit for, always looking for new ideas for them.
I have trouble finding knitting projects for my boys, this would be ideal.
I would love this book having a son and the yarn looks scrumptious!
