scrumptious knits by designer carol feller, is a slim collection of seven projects, all knit from fyberspates scrumptious yarn, a merino/silk blend available in a variety of weights.
the ebook is available both on ravelry and on the designer’s site; patterns can also be purchased separately.
the collection includes three sweaters that reflect carol’s keen eye for detail. cables, openwork, or unique construction are used to accent garment lines and provide shaping, both physically and visually.
so that even the warmer sweater styles have a lovely, feminine quality.
the yarn choices contribute to this as well; you can tell that the fabrics have a luxurious hand and beautiful drape—just the thing to provide a lighter edge to heavier cabled panels and textures.
carol uses the lighter weight version of scrumptious to create several accessory projects—a lace shawl, fingerless mitts, and a hat.
i like the vintage look of the hat and mitts in particular.
while the sweaters are a bit more involved, the accessory projects are simple and very giftable. if you have fyberspates yarns in your stash, this might be the book for you.
carol has graciously provided us with a giveaway hardcopy version of her booklet; if you’d like to be eligible to win a copy, please leave a comment at the end of this post by 9pm EST on monday, april 23rd. we’ll choose a name and report back (hopefully) on tuesday when i’m back at my desk.
good luck and have a great weekend!

What a cute collection of patterns! Especially love the hooded sweater. 🙂
A skein of Fyberspates Scrumptious arrived for me last night with a friend who had been overseas. It’s gorgeous! A magnificently saturated colour that is so soft! I would very much like to own those patterns…!
Love that hoodie! I’m not a huge fan of knitting with silk, but combine it with merino and you’ve got me.
The patterns are nice. I love the color and the design of the gloves and hat too.
Beautiful looking patterns with scrumptious looking yarn.
It is such a beautiful booklet full of wonderful patterns. I really hope I’m lucky 😉
So many beautiful patterns! I’ve never won a thing in my life, but still – fingers crossed! Though I probably wouldn’t know which project to start with…
I love Fyberspates yarns. I adore a touch of silk with my wool (the soft and the sheen!), and the colors have “depth” to them. I would love a collection of patterns made especially for these yarns.
Really scrumptious knitting! I would love a copy…

I have seen this book at my LYS (after scoping it out on both Carol’s web site and on Ravelry) and it is just wonderful. Winning it would be grand.
