Let’s welcome the kids back to school, and usher in the ‘cooler weather’ with the return of knitting!! Yeah!
And just in time, while you check your stash and get your project queue sorted in your head, we are having a book giveaway!
Custom Knits 2 by Wendy Bernard
It can be frustrating to knit a sweater only to have it look wrong on you because it’s too boxy or the waist hits you in an odd place. Custom Knits 2 teaches you about custom waist shaping, bust shaping and other changes from a pattern. With these tools you can make the sweater custom fit for you. The book even helps you estimate how much yarn you will need for these customizations.
This book blends some very technical advice with some lovely patterns. That is a very subtle balance and the book has some real meat in both areas. It is a great addition for any library.
This blue sweater is so versatile. (I think you might even be able to wear it out with more than just your underpants. Wink.)

I love Wendy’s knits. I have her first book and they are so wonderful to knit. Would love to have her second one.
Oh, and for an extra chance…. I already follow you on Facebook. 🙂
I’m pretty sure those patterns are above my skill level but it would give me something to work toward. Thanks for the giveaway.
I would love to win this book – the patterns look beautiful!
I have already “Liked” on FB – do I still get another entry?? I hope so!!
Very cool. I have borrowed her first book from the library. Hopefully I will get to do some knitting for myself other than socks soon!
Yes, please! This is one of those books where I want to make just about every pattern in it.
I liked you on facebook!

I need a book like this! I am only able to do the basics currently.
Just got the Custom Accessories book. I’d love this one too.
I am talking and tired of sweaters that look cropped! I would love a copy!
I think I could use the inspiration!
I have her first book too. 🙂
And I already follow you on Facebook!
I haven’t seen this book in person yet, but I’m sure it is as beautifully and carefully done as Wendy’s first book!
liked you on fb – thanks
Love the Wendy books and would love to win – thanks for the chance.
