Chrissy Gardener, sock designer and fellow Portlander has graciously agreed to give away an autographed copy of her book, "Toe-up!: Patterns and Worksheets to Whip Your Sock Knitting Into Shape " from our blog.
I will provide 430 yards of Araucania Itata, a wool/silk/bamboo fingering weight yarn you will need to make your first pair of socks. Just tell me the color!
I took Chrissy's Toe-Up! sock class last year and I loved it. Her explanations are clear and direct. Chrissy was originally a computer programmer and I feel that her logical mind helps people who are learning a new skill.
Each pattern contains several sizes worked out for you, so many can be done for your whole family. For you adventurous, more advanced knitters, this book provides options to change up each pattern with worksheets in the back of the book. I highly recommend the book and the class if you ever have a chance to take it from her.
Plus, Chrissy's just really nice.
