GIVEAWAY! My Faves from Refined Knits (And You Can Have Them Too!)

Man, I've been looking at some stellar designs from Jennifer Wood's (Woodhouse Knits) new book Refined Knits, and I'm pretty sure you'll like them as much as I do. If you're not familiar with her patterns, you'll be able to see a theme pretty quickly:

I'm going to call it "Peekaboo Style" (yes, I just coined that corniness!). Cables or lace peek out of corners, swaying with the body... and stitch themes either end abruptly, or start out of a beautiful nowhere.

Oh -- and the backs are to die for. Makes you want to twirl around while you are talking to someone, just so they'll see what's been hiding back there.

I want you to have this book. 

Seeing as I'm a sweater gal, I'm going to show you my favorite sweaters from Refined Knits, and you can tell me which one is YOUR favorite. Leave a comment with 1) Your favorite pattern from below, 2) Your Ravelry name or a way to contact you.

If you follow me on Instagram (@dayanaknits) or Ello (@dayanaknits), mention your name in the comment and I'll give you another entry. (Don't worry loyal Facebook peeps, I have a yarn giveaway for you guys next month!)

First up is Idril, just look at that fabulous peplum! My, my. I can't get over how well this fits.

This is Willa, a classic cable cardigan with a neat not-so-classic cable inserted into a saddle on the sleeve. It really pops in Brooklyn Tweed Shelter.

Here is Brielle. I'm not a fan of cardigans without closures, but this one looks so cozy AND sophisticated simultaneously that I'm intrigued. And of course, the back.

Back to gray for Victoria, a perfect example of Jennifer's "Peekaboo Style". TM 😏

And finally, returning full circle (literally) to the first picture you saw, here is the eminent Corinne, killer in killer red. Naturally the yarn is Madelinetosh Pashmina, you can see it from a mile away. How gorgeous!

Damn, I'm pretty see-through -- I started and ended with the same design, so clearly you know which one is MY favorite. Tell me yours! Comment by April 9 and you might win your very own copy of Refined Knits, or if you can't wait, buy it here. There's waaaaay more in there than I've shown you. Especially if you like scarves, cowls and shawls, check out all the patterns here on Ravelry.

(and don't forget to tell me if you follow me on Instagram or Ello (@dayanaknits) for an extra entry)

GOOD LUCK!

UPDATE:

The contest is now over, and the winner is Louise (Lou7 on Rav). Go buy yourself a lottery ticket you lucky lady, and enjoy knitting Victoria:
