...is out and the publisher of this very yummy book, Collins & Brown, have offered me two copies to give away to you! And why am I so fortunate as to be hosting this lovely giveaway?! Well, about a year ago now, I was invited by the lovely people at Mollie Makes to contribute a crochet design to their latest in a series of Mollie Makes books solely devoted to crochet. Loving all that is "Mollie Makes", I quickly accepted and put together a few crochet edging patterns for a chenille-backed baby blanket. Here is a very lovely shot in the book of the blankets I made...
I have to say that my blanket edging designs are in amazing company as you can see below with lots of fabulous designs for the home, including something special from a real favourite crochet designer of mine, Emma Lamb. Aren't those little babushka dolls sweet? Take a look...
And, isn't the styling gorgeous?! Look at this shot...
But, best of all, this book is not only for experienced crocheters, but also for beginners as it covers the basics of crochet with step-by-step illustrations; so if you've also wanted to learn how to crochet, what an inspiring little book to have handy!To enter this fabulous giveaway, all you have to do is leave a comment to this post and I will pick two lucky winners from the comments I receive in exactly a week (you have until Oct. 6th, midnight, to enter the draw). So, please don't be shy and say Hello! Best of luck and thanks for popping by...
These are gorgeous pics! So full of color and fabric yumminess! Would love to win a book to drool over.

You are very deserving of having your workmanship showcased in a book. I made a cushion using your flower tutorial and always receive the loveliest comments about it. Thanks for the chance to win a copy of this book and learn some more techniques.

I do have lots of crochet books but this one does look gorgeous! And a giveaway to help me overcome my lazy commenting problem - can't be bad!! Your edgings look amazing and well done for being part of this fabulous publication, Sam xx
Posted by: Sam | September 29, 2013 at 01:00 AM
I recently started following your blog on Bloglovin, because I was fascinated with your works (especially with crochet edges on pillows). I don't crochet at all, so if this book is good for beginners too, it would be fun to win it:)
Posted by: Julianna | September 29, 2013 at 01:06 AM
I love crochet and have several books and this one looks like it will be a great addition to my collection. I love the mollie makes magazines and you are right, the styling of the photographs is always brilliant.

I have been following your blog for several months now and look forward to each entry. I would love to win this book. I have been reteaching myself how to crochet because I am trying to make your round flowers but I need help. This book would come in handy. Thank you for the giveaway.
Posted by: Susan | September 29, 2013 at 08:09 AM
I just learned how to crochet, and part of the reason I wanted to learn so badly was because of all the beautiful things you post on your blog. Now that I'm crocheting (all the time), I've been slowly starting on crochet edges and laces. Thank you for the giveaway!

What gorgeous eye candy! One thing I am always impressed by in crochet books is the obvious eye for color that there is. Every day projects turn extraordinary with the right color combos...
and YOUR blog does that too! You have such a knack for it, I am not the least bit surprised they wanted to feature your gorgeous trims!
Congrats!
