vogue stitchionary giveaway!

Stitchionary 5

I have a copy of the new Vogue Stitchionary to give away! Volume Five is lace knitting, and it’s super – over 150 stitches patterns, each with a chart as well as written instructions and a good photo. I’m a huge fan of stitch dictionaries and this one will be getting lots of use!

If you’d like a copy too, leave a comment below and share what your favourite type of lace to knit is (or just if you’re looking to branch out into it!). One winner will be picked at random and sent a copy of Vogue Stitchionary 5 courtesy of Sixth&Spring Books. Make sure you leave an email address so I can contact you! Email addresses are not shown publicly.

    I’ve never done any lace knitting but would love to try! This might just be the inspiration I need.

    I’d love a copy! I love all lace, but especially large scale lace I find really neat (and challenging!).

    Super-FUN!! What a great giveaway! I haven’t ton a ton of lace, but would love to do more!

    Hello Connie, Thank you for the giveway! I love to knit lace for shawls and socks, but not to complicated as I like to remember it quickly. Having no stitionary yet, it would be a great surprise for me to win.

    ooh! I don’t have this volume yet! I love knitting all kinds of lace. I really want to knit a Niebling sometime in the future.

    I would LOVE this book because i’ve been trying to gather as many resource books as possible so that i could start making my own patterns. I’ve been obsessed with lace since i knit my first leaf lace scarf. floral lace patterns are my fave right now…. I’m in the process of trying… trying being the key word to design a shawl and this book would so help me with the knowledge and inspiration i so very much need :)

    I love the floral/leaf lace patterns, and have had an idea percolating in my head for months for a design incorporating them. I just need to figure out how to transfer it from my head to reality. :)

    Oh, I love these stitchionaries! My favorite lace project so far has used a lace leaf type pattern – so gorgeous! I’d love to venture out and try some other lace stitch patterns – thanks for offering up the book!

    The new volume looks great! I really like knitting lacey socks and wide scarfy-shawly things that you can bunch up around your neck in the winter. So toasty warm :D

    I love knitting, esp. scarves. all that I knit I donate to our local womans shelter. I’d love to have the vogue Lace knitting book so that I could learn some lace stitches to incorporate into my scarves, to give a beautiful scarf makes my heart sing.

  22. Janet Avatar

    I love leaf patterns; I have this book on my wishlist :-)

  23. sil Avatar

    I’d like to try one of the many lace patterns in one of the Treasuries that have about 80 pattern rows…never have tho.

    What I choose to knit lacewise is anything that has a purl row on the return side – much less scary.

    I love to knit Orenburg Lace – especially the Honeycomb pattern.

  25. Elizabeth GM Avatar

    It’s kind of you to do a giveaway. This book looks tasty. I’m not a big shawl knitter — in fact, I’m a little baffled by the wild popularity of shawls — and I’m not super-femme. But I do like lace in some pieces, especially if it’s more geometric.

  26. Gwynne Avatar

    Thank you doing this. I love knitting angular designs with big increases and decreases. A book like this could really help me as a fledgling designer. I have ideas but something gets “lost in translation”.

    I love knitting lace with charts! I am intrigued both by lace patterns and how a designer can make them coalesce into a larger whole; I’m working on a Girasole now and am looking at the super spiral shawl. I think they’re great examples of fitting patterns into a larger whole. I’ve also borrowed a copy of the first stitchionary to make linen facecloths out of a few repeats. I’d love a stitchionary with charts!

    I am relatively new to lace. In fact, your Milkweed Shawl was my first lace shawl! My newest challenge is adding beads to my shawls. Sure does slow down the knitting!
    Thanks for this great give-away!

  39. Sarah Avatar

    Lace knitting and I have a complicated relationship. I love the concept of it, but I’m a bit scatterbrained when it comes to the actual execution, often resulting in Tragedy. (The capital ‘T’ is important.) I’d definitely like to get more into it, especially as I’m branching out into making and modifying my own patterns.

    I’m just starting to look at lace–I’m a pretty new knitter! I’d love to just poke around in it and knit a bunch of little swatches of all the different patterns.

  41. JoAnn - WI Avatar

    I do not have a lace pattern preference, due to the fact that I’m a Newbie at lace knitting. I’m attempting my first shawl (Dane) currently. This book looks like it could be very helpful.

    I don’t have a favorite lace pattern yet, but I’m leaning toward lacy ruffles on shawlettes. I like lace patterns in everything except socks.

  48. Jaimi Avatar

    My favorite kind of lace to knit is, well, ANY. Any with a chart, anyway. Depends on my mood–sometimes I like a challenge, with non-repeating patterns and patterning on both sides. Sometimes I want something I can memorize with rest rows. Sometimes I want something in between.

  49. Kelly K Avatar

    I’m just getting started with lace knitting, so I don’t have a favorite pattern yet. This book would be a great way for me to find one though!

  50. Amber Avatar

    After a fairly long break (thanks grad school!) I’m loving all lace – anything that takes some brain power and yet doesn’t require a mathematical proof! I have a special place in my heart for my two triangular shawls – loving them way more than light weight cardigans, and I can’t wait to cast on some more…

  51. Kelly B. Avatar

    I am just starting to knit lace patterns (Que Sera sweater) and am just knitting my first sweater with lace weight yarn (featherweight cardi). I love it! I’ve only been knitting for about 7 months now, and I am really looking forward to learning more about lace knitting.

    I used to think I wasn’t a shawl person, but I’ve discovered that I am! Aside from that, I use lace motifs in the socks I design for myself. I could always use more resources for that, especially if there are good illustrations; the BW pictures in my Barbara Walker books don’t always give me a good idea of how something will work up.

    I’ve been adding little shawls & scarves to my Rav queue, and I’ve noticed that they are getting lacier as I add! I’ve also noticed as I get more experience, I like projects that have more lace too. I’d love to have a chance at winning the new stitch dictionary.

    Oooh! Want! I’ve only ever done one lace pattern (leaves), but it turned out beautifully and I’d love to try more.

    Oh, I love lace. Mostly in other things (socks, sweaters, tanks, hats, etc), but I do love me a good triangle shawl. I want to get more into designing things with lace, and this book would really help!

    I’ve done lots of lace, almost exclusively shawls and scarves. I’m exploring lace patterns for cardigans right now. I like to shape my cardigans, which is definitely a consideration when picking a pattern. So far, columnar patterns work best.

    My favorite type of lace to do is lace vests and sweaters on worsted or dk weight. I also love to make toe-up lace socks — I love wendy’s books for that. I’m working currently on my very first lace shawl, designed by through the loops. It’s complicated, with patterning on all rows. I’m going slowly. :) I’d love to win the book, I don’t have a lace stitch dictionary.

    I also love knitting lace! It fascinates me that there are so many patterns that can arise just from combinations of increases and decreases. I’m knitting Cookie A’s Clandestine sock right now and am loving the lace pattern. It’s so intricate!

  78. Shayna Avatar

    I really love knitting sweaters with simple allover lace patterns. Throwing a cable in there too to keep things just interesting enough to knit is a go-to as well.

    I’m a new knitter and I tried lace knitting last year and it didn’t work out so well for me. But I have another year of knitting under my belt and want to branch out into lace knitting again and I think this book would be an excellent resource for me. I don’t have a favorite-yet. :)

    Hey, commenters, way to represent! :)

    I love any kind of lace that has many kinds of lace. Changes in the main field, border patterns, layered border patterns … bring it on. Having to knit the same pattern over and over (and over) again does not make me happy.

  90. Jolene Avatar

    I love lace in general… but in particular vines and leaves seem to catch my attention lately, and things like feather and fan :)

    Looks like a great Book!

    Thanks again

    I’ve only done one lace shawl, from Victorian Lace Today, and started on a shawl using the Frost Flowers pattern from Barbara Walker. I’m really interested in big, detailed lace patterns, the ones that don’t really repeat, but they also kind of intimidate me.

    I love doilies! I am, in many ways, not a girly girl, but there’s something about the mathematical nature of lace and the over-the-top fussiness for fancy fussiness’ sake that makes my heart go pitter-pat :)

    I keep looking at lace patterns and thinking I should try this, but I haven’t. I mean, you need a break from socks and fair isle sometimes–and this would be a good one.

    I’ve loved every lace pattern I’ve tried so far. Even when I’ve seen photos of the finished pattern it’s always amazing to watch it take shape as it falls away from the needles – it seems so improbable.

    I’m a newbie lace knitter, so I haven’t done much yet. But I managed to make the Meret hat from Woolywormhead which is sort of like a variation of Pine Trees. And that gave me the confidence to try a feather and fan scarf!

  106. kingshearte Avatar

    I haven’t attempted any knitted lace, but Jared Flood’s Juneberry Triangle (http://brooklyntweed.net/blog/?p=265) has made me want to try it more than anything else I’ve seen has. So, so pretty.

    Estonian lace is probably my favourite, although I love all kinds. I have been thinking of designing a lace shawl myself, so this stitchionary would come in very handy for me, right now!

    I love really light lace (like wedding ring shawls), or really big lace (worsted weight or heavier). The stuff in-between is nice too, but I’m sort of an extremist. :)

  115. Tina M. Avatar

    I adore lace of all kinds. Lace socks, lacey tops, lace hats, lace shawls, lace wraps. Knitted lace, crochet lace, I don’t care.

    My favorite kinds of lace to knit would have to knit on a regular basis would be lace socks, but lace shawls and wraps are quickly bringing up the rear. Right now I’m knitting two lace shawls for the two weddings I’m in during October, two weeks apart. Crazy cakes.

  122. Wendolene Avatar

    Ooh! I am a huge fan of all lace, but I love one-sided patterns (lace knitting or knitted lace? can’t remember which that is) and geometric patterns that you can “read” as you knit. I’m thinking the Icarus and Flower Basket Shawl lace patterns, which are both one-sided and are both easy enough to “read” that you can forget your instructions at home and still keep knitting!

    I usually am drawn to leafy/swirly/rounded lace patterns. Ostrich feather lace is probably one of my favourite stitch patterns.

    Lace is an exciting challenge in knitting for me. I am finishing a triangular shawl and like leaf patterns. This book would really keep me going.

  125. Melanie Avatar

    There are different kinds of lace knitting? I guess I need to do more then because I didn’t know that. lolol (I’ve done lacey socks and scarves. Never a complicated shawl though. Will dig into it sooner or later though.)

    I love pretty much every kind of lace I come into contact with, but most of all, I love a pattern that has a definite repeat – then I have it memorized in no time flat and it’s almost as easy as stockinette! My favorite projects were the ones I made as gifts for my omas (grandmothers) when I went to visit them in Holland after being away for 10 years. I was so happy to be able to share with them, after all the sweaters and socks they had made me!

    Hello again Laura.
    I enjoy beaded lace and am venturing into designing my own patterns; so that book would go quite nicely into my collection of other stitchionaries.
    I’m working on my spinning, thanks for your help, and maybe someday I’ll be able to spin lace to knit a little something, something from that lovely book that you’re giving away!

    I love knitting lace, particularly shawls and stoles. One of these days I am actually even going to make one for me! The most complex and also the most gorgeous piece I have done so far was Maplewing! I questioned my sanity in taking it on many many times during the first few rows but once I got the hang of purl 2 together through the back loop, it was gravy! ( she says with a demented grin!)

    My most recent lace knitting has been simple but wonderful — your milkweed shawl! I met you at Lettuce Knit in March and purchased the pattern and some Koigu in the same colour as your sample. Since then, I’ve knit two more milkweeds, one in Malabrigo and one in Socks that Rock. I have my eye on a skein of DIC Smooshy in my stash to knit a fourth. (And I’m not just saying this to get preferential treatment in your draw!)

    In general, I like lace patterns that are patterned on one side (work back row is plain knit or purl). I think my favorite lace pattern is Frost Flowers, I haven’t knit it yet but I plan to. I like Japanese Vines (and variations) too.

    What a great book – thanks for doing a giveaway!

    I’ve only really knit thing in a lace pattern. It was a sweater for my daughter. I did enjoy it very much. My 13th wedding anniversary (lace, how fitting) is this weekend and this would make a great anniversary gift for my wife who has not ventured into lace yet.

    As for what type of lace I like, it doesn’t fit easily into one category. I like organic motifs such as leaves and vines, but certain geometric shapes like diamonds appeal to me, too (see my Sheridan Road Socks on ravelry, an as yet unpublished design). Then again, swirly patterns have been catching my eye lately…guess I need to peruse the new book to pick a few more favorites! :)

I could sure use this lovely book to make up some of my own designs. Yes, please!

    My favorite lace tends to be smaller repeating lace, as I like to be able to memorize it and not have to stop and check a chart every few stitches. It’s also easier ti fix problems a few rows down if the lace is easy to “read.” I love to knit lace. I find it to be a very rewarding endeavor.

    OMG, this is fantastic! I am currently enamored of “King Charles Brocade” stitch, which I found in the Harmony Guides Lace & Eyelets. Trying to find a way to use it to best effect.

    I’ve been considering pre-ordering this book since I first found out about its release. I’ve been on a total lace jag lately, and what better way to be inspired than the glory of the Vogue Stichionary?

    This book looks fantastic only they tend to be quite expensive. I’m designing my own lace at the minute but having to use vintage stitch Dictionary’s as i can’t efford the new ones. There just as good but don’t have new updates of new lace which i like to see. It would be super to own a copy on my bookshelf i don’t think i could put it down lol!!xx

    I love lace, but have not done much yet. I made two baby hats in June 2009, check them out in my ravelry projects http://www.ravelry.com/projects/kellywknits/ripple-eyelet-baby-hat . The best part for me was figuring out the decrease (not in the original pattern) even tho it was my first lace project. I would love the book. Thanks for the beautiful blog!

    I love knitting leaves. I didn’t realize how much until two people who’ve never met each other decided that it’s my trademark. In fact, one saw a knitted leaf hat on the street and assumed it was one I’d made and sold!

    Oooh, I would love this book! I am just starting out in lace. I’m a fan of simple lace that has easy to remember repeats. I don’t really like to have to follow a complicated chart or pattern.
    Thanks!

    I’ve never knit lace before, but am sure I’ll enjoy the adventure as soon as I master reading charts!

    I love to knit lace that’s not too simple, but simple enough that I can memorize the pattern after a couple rows. Lately I’ve been wanting to knit some leaf lace.

    I’m looking for a flower/ leaf lace pattern to match a particular yarn, so I’d love to see this book!

    I’m knitting the Aeolian shawl right now, and I’m loving the leafy motifs. We’ll see what happens when I get to the nupps! Thanks for a great giveaway!

    Vol 1 Knit and Purl is a well worn book in this house. I have been wanting to try lace for some time – Vol 5 Lace is just the push I need.
    Thanks for such a great giveaway!

    Haven’t done a lot of lace but did enjoy doing Oblique. Would love seeing more great lace patterns for ideas for other projects. Thanks for the opportunity to win this outstanding pattern book.

    This looks like an excellent book. I don’t have any of the others in the series. Sure hope I get picked. Thanks for sharing!

    Just over the line I think! I’m glad I came back from the mountains in time!

    Wow, there are quite a number of comments already, but…you never know…

    Lace knitting and I…are like new neighbors know do that “head nod” when we see one another taking out the garbage or heading to/from work. I love the look of lace on the legs of socks recently, and maybe I’ll invite it over for coffee soon.

    It would be great to have a copy of this new book. I have been knitting more lace over the past year. Most of it has been in scarves and fingerless mitts. Thanks!

    i mostly knit lace shawls but i’ve also knit a lace garment before. there’s something very soothing about the repetition in lace.

    I’m really just getting into lace, so this would be awesome to have.

    I’m not sure I’ve met lace that I didn’t like. I tend to gravitate to the complicated, so it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that I prefer more challenging lace patterns.

    I think my favorite type of lace to knit at the moment has to be fingering weight lace. I have yet to do one, but I have a huge amount of tencel/wool yarn that I am waiting for that perfect project to knit it with and I am totally going to do lace! So I like the heavier weighted lace (even dk).

    I love the look of this book – I think it’s due time for a stitch dictionary to make it into my house….

    I’m not sure if your giveaway is US only, but I thought I’d drop in and say hello anyway – thanks for all the amazing patterns!

    I love to knit triangular lace shawls the most. I’m loving all of the new crescent shaped shawls as well.
