Out right now is the second in a series of three books on ethnic knitting. Exploration was preceded by Ethnic Knitting Discovery, which of course I also own. Each of these volumes covers three countries and their distinct sweater styles.
Donna has organized a blog tour of the book, and I want to strongly encourage you to check it out. All the links to the various blogs are on Donna's site, Sheep to Shawl.
Next Saturday, April 18th, the blog tour will stop by here! Donna and I will be talking about our design approaches, what things we like to design and knit for ourselves, and all kinds of other good stuff.
So watch this space! Leave a comment! And win a copy of this very book:
Here's how it works:- Leave a comment here on this blog and give me your name, or at least some initials.
- You may leave one comment per day all the way until Sunday, April 19th, 12 noon EST.
- Since I get to moderate the comments first, I can also delete them. No spamming, no rudeness. Be nice, please, and leave a comment for Donna, will ya?
- I will enter your name into the lottery as many times as you leave a comment, which means more chances for you!
On Sunday, April 19th, after I have had a lie-down and a cup of tea, I will literally put all the entries into a hat and have Crafty Girl draw a winner.
The name/identifying initials of the winner will be announced right here on the blog, that same day, if the creek don't rise. At which time I will ask the winner to email me his/her address. I might also throw in a skein of yarn or two to sweeten the deal. Who knows!
Ready, set, comment! I don't care where you live. I'll send the book to Australia, if I have to!

Here's my comment! I love contests and can always use a new knitting book. Good luck to me! Hope you and Donna have fun.

Hello Karin! Count me in! And I do have some questions for Donna - how did she come to choose those three countries to feature?
Donna does incredible work. Someday I hope to meet her and thank her for doing a wonderful job tech-editing my book!

looks like an interesting book
What an interesting blog tour. I love her Arctic Lace.
Your pictures of NYC are beautiful. Great to have a personal approach for the Big Apple.
Can I try to win a book - please!
I am crossing my figers - for myself. See you soon. Cathy O'Neill
Sounds exciting! My mother is from Lithuania - I didn't even know there was a Lithuanian knitting style! I'll have to get the book whether I'm a winner of the contest or not!
What fun idea! I hope you enjoy the visit to Tall Son. Donna is indeed prolific. You know about me and the books, right. It seems it mostly must...have...it. I have the Artic Lace book, but haven't knit from is yet. Just drooled.
OH neato book i wanna win ~ Gretchen
I can't believe Gretchen didn't mention this to me. She wants to edge me out of the drawing! LOL a little mom/daughter competition! The book looks very interesting.
I liked your NYC take. Maybe we'll go exploring the next time we go down.
