[@Cara-Louise]

While I do adore seeing all your finished projects, I am always encouraged when I hear you say you didn't finish anything! It's so good to know I'm not alone in having so many started but none finished!

[@renaweatherspoon6710]

Love all of your many, many projects. I’m retired and never seen to have the time to work on ONE project!…and you read and watch TV too. Oh my! Keep it up. You so inspire me!🥰

[@tmcd418]

I have a 6 month old nephew and several coworkers who are expecting in 2024. I would use the colorwork on a hat or sweaters for these little munchkins entering our world. :) Socks or fingerless mitts would be fun too. The possibilities are endless.

[@bethvlasman1748]

The maple leaf motif on the book cover gives me ideas for a double-knit scarf using an autumnal variegated yarn and a contrasting dark-coloured yarn. And possibly a matching hat and set of mittens.

[@louloubydesign1926]

The ducks!! My sister is a jeep girl (she has a yellow jeep with blue accents and has named it flounder) and I think either socks or fingerless mitts would make a great gift for her!!!!

[@strandsoftimemaryjohnson5538]

Using unicorn colors, I would make a sweater, hat & socks of the cute little ducklings in the new beautiful hardbound knit stitch book for my 14-month-old granddaughter who, as one of her first clear words, says, "Duck, duck, duck" often. Sooo stinking precious & has the most beautiful big blue eyes! Thank you for sharing the stitch book with us. I love how beautiful & uniform your socks always are!

[@Preciousknits7916]

I would immediately cast on a sweater with the flower motif with a matching pair of socks. Love how your english paaper quilt is coming along. As always thanks a bunch for sharing you crafts with us.

[@alisonfoster7566]

For the color work, hats, cowls, socks, and scarves‼️ Oh all the ideas 💡 Love your hair and you can embrace the gray whenever you are ready. Thanks for another good podcast. Have a good day‼️

[@Knitpulsive]

What a thoughtful gift this book would be. I would use one of the floral designs on a pair of cushy socks for my 90 (soon to be 91!) year old mom for her birthday in November. 🌺

[@sterlingbarker-uq8wj]

I saw the toast chart and right away thought about making breakfast socks

[@jessys9868]

What is the breakfast sock, I never heard that before.

[@eaq5060]

Some of those stitch designs would make the cutest socks! I also think they could make fun coasters - you could even make them double thick and do a different design on each side!

[@nadayacross]

Dinosaur socks for the husband would be so much fun! he said the other day that he'd be willing to swap out all his socks for handmade ones so I have motivation now!!

[@monaeljabi8975]

The duck's motive will be so cute for a baby's sweater 😊

[@RT-vh7lo]

I would make mittens to show off the motifs with a sense of humor. Toast and ducks? Dinosaurs? Traditional techniques with whimsy. Love it!

[@schultzbecki20]

Those ducks running along the bottom of a baby sweater would be adorable!!

[@jennesseoakhurst9883]

I am obsessed right now with colourwork socks, and especially, fingerless gloves. I think the tree pattern you showed on fingerless gloves would be amazing, and fun.

[@janec9038]

I would knit a cowl and a toboggan using the cute little adorable snowmen ⛄️ design in the book. So many cute ones! 🧶❣️

[@sharonwilson6783]

A toque for my grandkids in the color work designs would be so adorable. Love all you beautiful work.

[@laurie-annemead6153]

Wow! What a beautiful book. I would have years of fun making sweaters, socks and hats for my family and friends! ❤❤

[@SandPell123]

I was like you with the gray hair. Couldn't make up my mind, but I finally said screw it and went gray. I am now 57 and have been totally gray for about 3 years now. In order to not get bored I would make one of each of the motifs and put it together in a blanket.

[@lilacvalleyhomestead6610]

I love the snowman motif. I instantly thought about a Christmas stocking.

[@withlaura]

The colorwork book would be so fun! I'd let my kids pick one for themselves and i could add it too their socks to label which socks belong to who. 😄

[@one.crafty.gem.]

Toast! And ghost! It would be fun to make some color work socks or a cowl mixing and matching the various patterns; some spooky socks with some ghosts and pumpkins for Halloween, or some Christmas socks with snowmen!!

[@lindas.5986]

Love knitting stitch books. I always get inspired and it helps to turn a simple design into a special design. Love the vine leaves. Can se that on mitts, hats, cowls, socks and sweaters. Sooo many possibilities. Love your podcasts.

[@JudySanza]

Love your paper piecing. Just a small addition of color work to the top of a plain sock is beautiful

[@beccagilman2706]

What a fun book! I'd love to knit the ducks waddling across the cuff of a pair of socks. Thanks for such a great podcast.

[@stephaniechauvin1787]

Oh I need to put those ducks on a hat for my sister when she’s riding in her Jeep! So cute ❤❤

[@fozzysworld9039]

I’ve been really enjoying getting into sock knitting so I imagine I would definitely pt those adorable little duckies into some socks 🧦

[@AbigailEhresman]

Love your hair! It would be so fun to make a baby blanket with the ducks, or even combine a bunch of the patterns and do stripes of different things🤔

[@chelsr4976]

The moth motif is sooo good! I would knit a pair of moth socks for my daughter who is obsessed with all things bugs.

[@amandahull6862]

That stitch book is so fun! I would love to make a scrappy blanket with squares of all the designs!! ❤️

[@Thestashdowndiaries]

Those little motifs look like they'd be great for socks. I'd also pick out some of the nature themed ones (the moths are 😍) and make a cute hat. Duplicate stitching them onto knitted stuffies would be super cute too. There are so many options!

[@anitawessels3932]

I love the darker hair. Thanks for sharing all your crafting projects ❤

[@kristinchowanec9512]

Those ducks would look adorable on a baby blanket!!

[@procrasticrafting]

The leaves and trees make me want to make a circle yoke sweater for the first time

[@stephaniechotos3300]

The book looks so cool. Adding color work detail to the cuff of a sweater I think would be so cute!

[@christineluce9496]

That book looks amazing! I would use the patterns for all kinds of projects…mittens, socks, sweaters! Color work is so much fun!

[@lori9655]

Those patterns would be so good for lots of different projects. I can see the leaves in a sweater.

[@denisewells6856]

Pick me! Pick me! I would love to own that book. I was lucky enough to take a colorwork workshop from Andrea when she came to my local yarn shop. She was such a talented young woman and had all of us walking out the door, dreaming of our next colorwork project. I loved some of the designs from the book you showed and envisioned a cozy hat with her gorgeous knit designs around the brim. Fun!

[@purlpeaches]

I think a cowl would be so fun! It's a great way to use color and be bold if you didn't want a whole garment with the "crazy" motif

[@whitneywiegand1180]

I have been bitten by the colorwork sock bug. I've highly enjoyed knitting the Gelato Socks by Stone Knits and in the process of making 3 matching/coordinating pairs for my 3yo, 4yo daughters and me. Love them. Want to knit all the colorwork socks!!! I'd love to see what this Stitch Dictionary has for holiday theme or animal theme motifs. Thank you for another great podcast and this wonderful opportunity!

[@monicalarose7980]

I love the idea of making my baby a sweater with the dinosaur motifs in the alterknit book!

[@mamacass1880]

When I saw the toast motif all I could think of was my 5 yo son! He loves any type of bread 😂 I would totally make him a toast cowl for playing outside! We also have ducks so duck sock for my daughter also came to mind. Such a fun book! Thank you for sharing it!

[@katiebonnell3756]

That book looks like it has so many fun motifs in it! I would probably use it for some fun socks or a yoked sweater for my toddlers. :) Excited to see what your newest design will look like.

[@desaraedoolittle1700]

Oh goodness if I win I would ask each of my nieces,nephews along with my kids (13 kids total) pick a pattern and make her a Grandmother sweater or lap blanket. She lives anythigg by grandkid related! It would be fun to see each of their personalities come out in their Choice

[@katevelardi3868]

The color work patterns are great. Would be so fun fun to use in all kinds of projects, mittens being number one for me. Love the paper piecing project, very pretty fabrics!

[@sparkle5240]

A bib. With the duckies! And maybe a sweater with the trees motif. And love those leaves too. A bunch of dish towels with toasts in them. Can't decide!!

[@DeathKnellPresents]

I absolutely adore this channel. So many fun things to share with us. ❤socks & blankets & all around interesting things. - I would love to knit a beautiful colorwork hat for my mother. She would rock one!

[@melissakrull6862]

Great book. I could see using it on many accessories. Socks, hats, mitts and cowls. Great ideas to customize your projects. Also, love the hair color. I always go darker during the fall and winter.

[@Deeknits2451]

I would totally make some fun socks with the trees, ghosts, snowman, limitless possibilities 😃

[@elainewhite8798]

I would use these charts for a variety of projects. Afghans, sweaters, cowls, even the back of mitts. Great designs❣️

[@crafting-with-care]

I've just started learning how to make socks and having a stitch dictionary would be so much fun to decorate the cuffs of ALL the socks! It would also be a good stash buster to make cup cozies or coasters too.

[@80sgma10]

It would be so fun to make a cute ducky sweater for my granddaughter with the colorwork book! Thanks for the opportunity, Kay!

[@svenrir]

I would probably incorporate the duckies and the yellow flowers into a sweater. I'd use the dinosaur motif in a hat or socks!

[@happylittleknits967]

I looovvee the trees and the leaves! I think those together with maybe some swigglies would make a DELICIOUS sweater yolk. Maybe like a cream sweater and the color work in a navy? And do the yolk as well as the bottom, and cuffs of the sleeves! 😍😍

[@heatherg5682]

I could use the designs in so many ways! I would really love adding them to socks!

[@theLogstead]

I have been testing mittens for Lindsay of Simply Serving, so I think I would enjoy putting fun motifs into mitts for people. How fun to customize a little theme into the palm for gifting!

[@lavendersorcery]

Those colorwork charts are adorable!! I would love to make socks for every occasion by mixing and matching the motifs.

[@melissafriedrich3171]

Beautiful paper pieced quilt, it’s looking so lovely. Love your sock WIPS, that Spellbound color way is amazing! I would love to do color work on the leg of socks, just for a pop of something special, that Knitovation book really looks fun.

[@ashby444]

I have been seeing that book everywhere! It’s so cute! I think I need a pair of socks with dinosaurs on the cuff!

[@kristinsupinger2645]

It has been great to watch someone who is so close to where I live! I am a brand new knitter and have just finished my first set of shorty socks this week.

[@alecsgirl]

Oooh I’d definitely do a sweater…and maybe a cowl…and some socks 😂 That looks like an awesome stitch dictionary and colourwork is my jam!

[@user-hw2ut8ic4y]

Can't wait to see the new sock design. I'd love to make a hat using the dinosaur design for my grandson.

[@granitestateyarns]

Oh wow, that book looks awesome! I'd love to do socks with one of the quirkier motifs (rubber duckies are adorable!) and a circular yoke sweater would also be super adorable.

[@tomimajerus]

I saw the maple leaves and immediately thought about a color work sweater with that motif!

[@chelseas6577]

What a fun book! I'm picturing the little ducks on a baby hat.

[@Jenjursnap]

I would make a set of little mug rugs with several different motifs - like a little sampler collection of coasters! ☕ They would also make fun gifts or stocking stuffers!

[@amyvanderlinde8583]

Ohhh! The possibilities are endless. Some fun colour work socks would be my first choice 🧦

[@bethgerdes8721]

I love me a good color work yoke on a sweater. The maple leave motif on the cover got me right away!

[@knittielynnie]

You're right! We're all probably multicraftural. I'm starting to get the feels for quilting again, so there may be some EPP in my future, too. I've never done colorwork socks, but I'd love to add the cute flowers to a pair of pink vanilla socks for my granddaughter.

[@melissasheridan6480]

Since I seem to be forever in sock mode, I think those motifs would make lovely socks.

[@mariechurch3289]

I love that little tree motif how fun to add a little boarder to socks

[@annotlewski1104]

Those colorwork patterns would be great on socks and my grandchildren’s sweaters!

[@beverlyhess611]

Oh my goodness! That book! I’m sure id use it for more than one thing, but I’d definitely be making some hats with the snowmen! Possibly some gloves to match! ❤❤❤

[@joyceivan530]

I love your English paper piecing project. I would love to make snowman socks.

[@sheaflaro1773]

I love the idea of socks!! Maybe start a baby sweater! That would be cute too. Especially with a spin cycle or another shifting colored yarn!

[@GHFan1978]

The last to vanish is so good I loved it.

[@bowling_with_yarn]

I loved her other book. I would make some fingerless mitts and a matching hat with that cute snowman graph ☃️

[@biancaadkins2736]

I would make all of the things - hats, fingerless mitts, sweaters and cowls!

[@judylabine584]

I can see a hat with the snowman on it. The book looks like a good one.

[@belle_heart_home]

I would love the black and white tree pattern in socks! Would could choose 😅❤ that one! Love the ribbon in your hair!

[@janetretzer4869]

It really make me think of making socks with the leaves design!

[@8Gammie]

Oh my, great book. Would be wonderful use the book for baby blankets, sweaters.. it's endless. Thanks always for book reviews, too. And, I love your projects, so beautiful. sending love,hugs,prayers.

[@erinnleanne4668]

Love those socks from yarnable! They are knitting up so cute. ❤ If I won the stitch dictionary, I would knit up some color work socks or possibly an infinity scarf full of different motifs. Also I’m super excited for your new sock design, love seeing you motivated to design more.

[@Stb89]

I've seen this book everyone on social media! I make a winter/cold weather hat for my two boys each year...they would be thrilled to look through the designs and pick one each year.

[@lauraandrus2135]

The color work book looks so fun, I'd use it to do mittens and hats, probably some sweaters as well. Your seasons cardigan looks so cozy, might need to be added to my queue!

[@sunrhyze]

That colorwork stitch dictionary looks like so much fun. I'm interested in doing small amounts of colorwork as accents, mostly on the sleeve cuffs of a sweater or the brim of a hat. It would take me hours of looking through a fun book like that before I could decide which stitch pattern to do first!

[@kathleenjohnson4433]

Love adding borders of cute colour work to things for my Grands x hats or sweaters in particular.

[@leekasten3549]

The book looks wonderful to use! I would use it for the snowmen and make headbands for the winter.

[@karenkrause4384]

Love the idea of ducks on a child’s sweater.

[@kristihackett3728]

The hat was gorgeous , looks like so many possibilities in the book!

[@sarahstephen1363]

Oh gosh, imagine a toddler boy’s toque with dinosaur motifs. Cute!

[@FeijaFleur]

I'd love to use that colorwork book for all kinds of winter accessories for my kiddos.

[@rosiecat123]

I might have to make that sweater you're knitting. It looks so comfy and cozy. Haven't done a large project in a while. Socks are too fast and easy. So, of course, I'd make socks with the colorwork book. Thanks for another great show. Love your hair.

[@katrinaleifeste9914]

Hats and sweaters are my first thoughts when you first began sharing about the book

[@crystalemmerson1334]

I’d love to use the motifs from that beautiful book in socks. So many cute options.

[@tammyguttry8636]

Oooo, a stitch dictionary! What a great giveaway. Congrats to the winner! Kay, just love your KZbin videos. Can't wait to see your new one each week. I just wish I could knit as fast as you do!

[@knottygurlcrochet]

I love doing colour work on socks or cowls! Especially cowls that are knit in the round so I don’t have to worry too much about my floats or weaving in my ends super well. Lol 😂

[@madisonstevens4264]

That book is so amazing! Sweaters sweaters sweaters all day long!!

[@marybode8042]

I would totally make a pair of socks with the snowmen motif! The trellis would be awesome, too.
