on the edge

Posted on annePosted in book reviews/events

the influence of the internet on knitting and knitters over the last decade is almost incalculable. before it, knitters who could afford to travel and study found ways to explore our craft in the outer regions and to meet other fiber artists worldwide. some of us would develop pen pal exchanges with a knitter or two who lived far away. but for the most part, our knitting friendships were limited to a small circle of knitters who lived within driving distance and who had time to share.
if you happened to find them.

and working relationships between authors were much more precious, requiring the ability and funding to travel periodically and to use the the telephone at length, then to further trade files by shipping hardcopy pages back and forth. now two knitting authors can easily get together via email, skype, and file sharing, to create an article, book, or other work project—in fact it can be done without the two parties ever actually meeting in person or using a traditional publishing house. the possibilities make one’s head spin.

and it just such a project that i have to show off today.



coastal knits is a brand new collection of sweater and accessory patterns from bicoastal author/designer friends hannah fettig and alana dakos

one of them lives on the west coast of the united states and one on the east coast. this collection of ten designs celebrates their friendship and is inspired by where each of them lives.

from alana on the west coast, for instance, we have some lovely light sweaters that you could throw on for a walk along the beach or when entering a restaurant, but tuck away in a tote while shopping.

her designs are influenced by light and by the year-round presence of flowers and greenery.

i think my favorite piece in the book is the rustling leaves beret

i love the way the pattern converges to the top point. it’s similar, though not the same as, the beret i’ve been working on during my trip. i might have to knit one of these too!

hannah’s sweaters reflect the dark blue water of the atlantic ocean and the rocky coastline near her home on the east coast.

in addition to the patterns included, we also get a peek at the yarns that inspire these two designers

from the east coast, hannah introduces us to string theory hand dyed yarn.

and from the west coast, we meet yarns from alpenglow and pigeonroof studios.

there is also a short section on how to choose the right size for you, accompanied by tricks and tips for making your way through the patterns included.

my very favorite tip of all???

seee? i’m not the only designer and teacher who sounds like a broken record! it’s good advice.

not only have hannah and alana shared this book with us on the blog today—they have also set aside a giveaway copy for knitspot readers. aren’t we lucky this week?

if you’d like to win it, leave a comment at the end of this post by 9 pm EST on sunday, nov 20th. we’ll announce as soon as possible after that; i’m teaching at a retreat over the weekend and i’m not sure when i’ll be posting (definitely by next tuesday, though).

  2. loved hearing you in person, telling me the importance of Gauge. (deserves a Capital G)
    hope your stay in Roch-cha-cha made good memories!

  4. I love the texture of the cables of Rocky Coast Cardigan. It is on my to do list, which is getting longer with each passing day. I am so grateful to the many talented designers for sharing their talent with us. I would love to win a copy of this book.

  5. What a beautiful book. Would love to add to my collection! Hope all is well and that you are looking forward to Thanksgiving. Hope your mother is out and about these days as well.
    Best,
    Elise

  6. I have so many knitting books that I overlook most new ones on the market. This one has some refreshingly new patterns that I would like to have/buy/win.

  9. Joining the fun group at Knitter’s Retreat this weekend too, so excited. So nice of you to share your blog space with these 2 talented designers. Thanks.

  12. This book message rings true. Sometimes getting the basics right before beginning the sweater are more difficult than knitting the sweater itself. Thanks for a book that helps us in this way.

  14. The community is one of the things I love about knitting. I love that people of all ages can find common ground through making string into something you can wear! I love the beret and that zig zag stitch cardigan.

  17. What a beautiful addition this book would make to my small knitting library. I look forward every day to reading your blog and seeing your beautiful designs and creations!

  20. The patterns are wonderful and I would love to try them. I particularly like the alternate yarn suggestions for patterns. I have a small library and a big stash. This nook would be a welcome addition.

  23. This book is so beautiful. I know 4 people who would love to receive that beret. It’s just lovely!

  24. That book looks yummy! I saw at least four things in passing that I *need*, and I haven’t even seen the rest of the book! Yay for the internets!

  27. What a lovey collection of knits! Even if I don’t win the free copy, I will purchase this book.

  28. Enraptured with the patterns and yarn studies… and the narrative that accompanies them! Thanks for sharing!

  30. This book has been on my wish list since the moment I saw it! I love the beret the most, I think; I have just the perfect yarn…

  31. Beautiful modern designs with traditional elements – my favorite! This book is on my Christmas list, but winning it would be sweet.

  36. What a very cool idea! Being from the east coast I am actually familiar with String Theory yarns and have some in my stash. It is gorgeous, fantastic stuff!

  40. I would be thrilled to win a copy of this book! I love Hannah’s designs and Pigeonroof Studios yarn. I’d love the chance to learn more about Alana’s work as well.

  41. We have all been buzzing about this book around here. So many interesting patterns in it! A copy would be grand.

  47. I have heard that this book is already into it’s second printing, which is great for the authors. And I would love to have a copy of this book.

  48. Just wanted to grab that book and look at everything up close! All the designs look like something I’d like to knit- that’s something that seldom happens!

  51. Love what I have seen so far in this book! Although I now live on the east coast we hope to retire in the next couple of years much closer to the west coast so the designs would work well for me.

  54. Anne – I’ll unfortunately not be at the KRR2011, as I didn’t make it in this year, so I’ll miss seeing you there. But I do know you’ll have a GREAT time!

    I love this new book, and hope to get my hands on a copy of it soon!

  55. What a great review! I want to knit pretty much everything in this book. Would love to win it!

  56. Love your review! I also just heard Alana interviewed on the “Stash and Burn” podcast and their process of making the book was so interesting too.

    Thank you for the giveaway!

  58. Thank you for reviewing such a gorgeous book! I can’t remember the last time I saw a book with such a high proportion of projects I’d love to cast on!

  59. Oh, next week is my birthday and I thought of ordering this one as a gift to myself. But first, I’ll try winning it. 🙂

  65. I’ve been drooling over that Rock Coast Cardigan for weeks now, so I’d love to win a copy of this book!

  67. Oooooooo….I have this book on my wishlist. I will have it eventually; but oh my….what a thrill to win a copy….I cross my fingers and begin positive karma!!!!

  68. I think this is a really neat book — and I’ve heard so much abotu the layout on various podcasts as being really something. Very knittable looking patterns.

  70. Thanks for the opportunity to win such a gem of a book! That rustling leaves beret would look great on my sister & me!!

  71. I am amazed at the influence of the internet on my hobbies – inspiration, fibers, color choice, designers. It is just so great to see so many people involved with something you enjoy. I would love to have a copy of this book. It looks great.

  72. Oh I would love to win this one. My knitting friend and coworker were just talking about this book yesterday. We’ve seen the preview pictures, and we both like different patterns in the book. We both figure we should get the book from the only store in the city that carries it, which means a lunch trip! I’ll hold off till this is over, hahaha. Yes, the beret is just beautiful, amazing how the leaves all end at the point. So well designed! Love it.

  75. Wow, I’d love a copy of this! I saw a preview of it during a yarn crawl recently, and it looks so lovely! Thanks for the offer.

  76. I think the patterns in this book are wonderful. There are several that I would like to make, including the Rocky Coast cardi and the Wildflower cardi, and of course the Rustling Leaves beret. The photography in this book sets the mood for the designs.

  79. I have yet to see this book in person. However……all I hear are glowing reviews. I would not only love to see it but to own it!

  80. I have been drooling over this book. A definite must-have for my knitting book collection. I have at least two things I want to knit from it.

  84. I keep hoping to get a copy of this book! I heard the layout is lovely! The item I would like to knit most is the Bayside sweater but I would knit it as a cardigan.

  87. Would love to win the book. Very nice assortment of patterns, am eyeing one of the sweaters… Great photographs.

  89. Thanks for this nice post.

    I would love to win the book. It will give me the opportunity to cover both US coasts knitting in Europe!

  90. What a fantastic review of what looks to be a wonderful book! I’d love a chance to win a copy of this 🙂

  124. Another west coast knitter – but I am only high-beginner. I love the color and mood in this book. Thanks for the recommendation.

    dolly

  125. What a lovely book! It would be a welcome addition to my knitting library. I really like the cardigan that’s shown on the cover and in your 4th picture: it looks delightfully cozy!

  129. This is at the top of my list of wanna have design books. I could see myself making and wearing every item in it. Kudos to these 2 very talented and successful women.

  130. This has very classic designs. I would love to win a copy. It is one of those books that I would turn to over and over for patterns.

  131. Yay! Another awesome book and another chance to be a winner. Thank you, and thank you for the peek inside.

    I am off to create my own Beret pattern, but wish I had Rustling Leaves.

    Thank you again from all fo us, Linda

  141. The designs in this book are outstanding! I never win, but it doesn’t hurt to try! It’s gotta happen someday. Thanks so much for posting the beautiful knitting all the time.

  142. I would love to get my hands on this book, thanks for the opportunity to win one otherwise it is going on the christmas wishlist!

  158. I’ve been drooling over this book since it came out! I’ve got a lot of the patterns in my favorites on Rav.

  161. Another beautiful book. I keep thinking I have to quit buying them, but the bookshelf keeps getting fuller. I think this one is a must.

  166. I’ve been looking at this book. Thanks for another great book give-away. Have fun at the retreat.

  170. This is such a gorgeous book, and I absolutely love seeing the pictures from my beloved Maine. It’s a wonderful concept full of beautiful knits… I’d love to have a copy of it!

  171. I’ve been thinking of ordering this book … but will wait and see! Thank you for the give-a-way.

  173. What a wonderful new book. Thank you for reviewing it for us.

    I totally agree with you on the vastness of the internet. I am a new knitter – have tried on and off over the years but couldn’t get the hang of it, that is until now. The vast amount of how to uTube videos and tutorials on line has eased my fustrations. Plus, having the access to all the wonderful designers and patterns at ones finger tips is great asset.

  177. Wow. That looks like a fabulous book. The photos look scrumptious. Knits are so perfect for the shore. You are so sweet to do this book thing!

  178. That beret is gorgeous, I’ve never been drawn to them before, but that is one I would knit and plop on my curly hair!

  182. I love how the Internet has brought those with similar interests together through different social media. The book is beautiful.

  183. That book looks fantastic! It’s been on my wish list for a little while already, so I would love the chance to win a copy. Thanks so much for the give-away.

  185. What a wonderful new book! I’ve loved the Rocky Coast Cardigan on ravelry, and the rustling leaves beret is gorgeous! I would love to win a copy!

  188. I am enamored with this book! What great luck it would be to win one… thanks for the chance!

  190. Thank you for the fabulous giveaway!! I have been drooling over getting Coastal Knits since its sneak preview. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

  195. What an outstanding book. I would love to own a copy. Thanks, Anne, for making this book available!

  198. Perfect! I moved from the East Coast to the (near) West Coast and hope to move back to the East Coast one day soon. Thanks for the chance to win a copy!

  199. Super! As a person who grew up on the east coast and now lives on the west, I can appreciate the differences in yarn and designs for each environment. Love the fact that the book also contains tips on fitting and introduces yarns local to each coast. Thanks!

  203. I have been coveting this book, and now a chance to win a copy!
    I was part of your workshops in Rochester on Sunday, and really enjoyed them. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and inspiration.

  213. What a beautiful book and I love the idea of the coasts!
    I would enjoy having this book in my collection.
    Thanks!

  214. All of them look lovely! I especially like that hat. And I saw a pair of mitts with trees on them on another site which were really cute.

  215. Count me in. I have been admiring the patterns as the book does it blog tour. Am especially enchanted with the water’s edge cardigan at the moment!

  218. What a gorgeous book! I am knitting again after being away from it for many years and am LOVING it. Back to doing what I loved when I was young.

  219. This book looks fantastic. I have been in love with it since I first saw it. I am crossing my fingers!

  226. There are some lovely sources of inspiration here. I appreciate it when the designer shares how something from nature inspires a design. Anne, I have your dead Hosta leaves photo on my desk and still can’t believe how you worked them into your Leaving pattern.

  227. I’ve long admired Alana Dakos and I could really use her lightweight patterns for life in Texas where we are still waiting for some cold weather. Anyone wishing to rid themselves of chillyness, send it on. This book would be used not just flipped through to stand on my bookshelf.

  231. Love that beret. I’m been looking for a leaf pattern one for ages! That is the coolest one I have seen. In fact I love everything.

  236. I have actually held this book in my hands. A friend brought it to our Knit Night. The photography is beautiful and the projects look interesting. I loved the beret, Anne. So now that you’ve said it is similar to the one you’re doing, I am uber-excited.

  237. Weeee! I wanted to write this book onto my wishing list for christmas, but maybe christmas is not so far off?
    Thank you (again) for your reviews on new books, it’s always interesting what someone “from the business” has to say about new publications.

  239. The book looks amazing. Will I be lucky enough to win? The sweaters might actually get me to move beyond scarf and shawl projects into something more challenging.

  240. Giveaways are such fun, even if I ever win! Reading about this book makes we wish to own it – something I hadn’t considered. Thanks for the review! And thanks again for the utterly FAB Leaving pattern – I get rave compliments whenever I wear it. It is utter perfection!

  241. This book looks fabulous! Several things I’d love to knit, the Rocky Coast Cardigan in particular. Thanks for the chance to win!

  244. it looks like a very inspirational book – I am definitely interested. I will put it on my wishlist…if I don’t win, I can still leave a hint with my family members

  247. I have been lusting over this book for the last months after hearing about it on Alana’s podcast – so many of the pieces speak to me. I especially like that they each chose to use yarns made in their particular parts of the country. Thanks for the opportunity to get my hands on a copy!

  249. I have been looking at this book for a while. I would love to make the rustling leave beret also!!

  253. I’m always immediately drawn to Alana’s designs. This book looks wonderful. Thank you for offering it as a giveaway.

  254. Thanks, Anne, for your review. I always look forward to your book reviews, and would love a copy of this must-have.

  256. This looks like a wonderful collection of patters and I would love to have a copy of it. 🙂

  257. The book looks like a winner with an unusual premise for the patterns. Would love to win a copy. Enjoy your retreat.

  258. have been drooling over this book but have put off buying it. thanks for the opportunity to win it.

  260. The book looks wonderful! I love the beret, too, although the sweaters are also really cute. What a nice piece of collaboration!

  261. Wow! Two lovely giveaways in a row! This looks like a beautiful book I would love to have a chance for this book. Thanks, Anne!

  275. I cannot wait to start knitting the cream cardigan!!! Hope I win it but even if I don’t, it will definitely be added to the collection soon!!!

  277. i LOVE this book! i hope i win! i am wanting to knit the rocky coast cardigan and the bayside pullover!

  284. Looks like a great book to spend a cold day in front of a fireplace with! Paron the ridiculous grammar!

  293. Every last one of us deserves this book I am sure. It’s a lovely gesture and thank you for the opportunity to be a part of your knitting life. You continue to inspire me.

  295. A wonderful give-away — thank you! I read Alana’s blog regularly and enjoy it very much. Her knitting, and of course yours, is so inspiring. My favourite design is the two-colour little shawl and I am determined to knit it very soon.

  297. Oh my, you spoil us with tempting patterns coming at us from left, right and center! I better start finishing some projects!

  298. Wow! I live on the east coast & my daughter (another knitter) lives on the West Coast-we would have to share these fabulous book! Thanks Anne for introducing so many wonderful books.

  303. I would love to win the Coastal Knits book…have been drooling over the cabled sweater…..Thanks for the chance to win it!

  304. Oh….there are some lovely patterns in that book. I would love to win!! Thanks for the opportunity!

  305. I would love to receive this book. I am thrilled it has one of my favorite yarn shops in it-string theory!

  308. I would love to have the book- my son and daughter in law live on the west coast and I live on the east coast so i could benefit from both designers!

  309. Have not seen this book yet – thanks for offering it. Good to see the work of new designers getting published.

  316. The lightweight sweaters would also be great during a chilly spring day on the east coast! I would love to win a copy of the book. 🙂

  319. Thanks for this generous offer. A friend and I were just discussing how over the last 5-10 years it feels as if there has been a huge proliferation of talented knitters, dyers and spinners. Then she pointed out that they could have been there all along – we just had no easy way to connect like
    we do now. So the web has probably helped promote and grow these
    satisfying arts/crafts as you so aptly describe.

  321. I have been eyeing this book online formthe last week, and would love a copy. I really love the Rocky Coast cardigan!

  322. So many wonderful patterns in this book – it’s definitely at the top of my book wish list. Thanks for the opportunity!

  323. This coastal knitter thinks the book looks beautiful. I’d love a copy. Thanks for offering a chance.

  329. I would love to own a copy of this beautiful book! I have admired the patterns in this book and now a chance to win it! Thank you for your generous giveaway. :p

  335. Thanks for introducing me to this lovely book, Anne….and thank you for this thoughtful and generous offer!

  341. Such a wonderful book! There are so many patterns I would love to knit, especially the rustling leaves beret!

  343. I have heard so much about this book the past few weeks! I’ve been a listener of never not knitting for awhile and I’d love to knit some of those patterns! The rustling leaves beret and wildflower cardigan would be top on my list!

  344. I love the patterns in the book–I actually have it, but will gladly give my copy to my daughter if I am picked. Thanks Anne!

  346. Ditto on knitting the beret! I’m not a huge fan of berets, but I think that one’s a must-knit.

  352. There are several projects in Coastal Knits that call to me. I’d love to win a copy of the book

  354. As someone who grew up on the East Coast, but married someone from the West Coast, this book would be perfect for my family – gifts for both my mother AND my mother-in-law in one place!

    Thanks for sharing.

  356. There are some projects in this book that I’d love to knit. Thank you for the opportunity to win a copy!

  357. Hi, I had been eyeing this book on Ravelry, it certainly contains a number of project that I’d like to knit.
    Thanks for sharing!

  360. This book needs to be in my library! I missed getting an autographed copy at Stitches East in Oct.

  363. What a wonderful gift to receive. I’ m grateful to live in a time with so many talented designers and such easy access to them.

  364. I have been following these two for a while. Wouldn’t it be great to win?! I’m crossing my fingers.

  365. What a beautiful collection by Hannah and Alana! Thank you so much for sharing and for offering such a wonderful giveaway 🙂

  366. I TOTALLY agree how much the internet has helped (enabled) my knitting!! I just love to knit. But before the internet I too was limited to what was available immediately around me. And I had no knitting friends, people who understand why we “fondle” yarn and if I had an issue with a pattern if I couldn’t figure out the solution my options were very limited. Now however my stash is HUGE, my ravelry queue is GINORMOUS, yarn, help and patterns are just a click away!!

  367. The projects in the book look very appealing, congratulations to Alana and Hannah for self-publishing this. Thank you for the giveaway!

  368. What a great collaboration! I can see lots of inspiration in the sample pages you showed and would love to add this book to my collection.

    PS – Love your designs and blog.

  369. The aesthetic of this book is lovely and modern yet still classic. It was so interesting to listen to the two of them chatting about the book and their collaboration on the Never Not Knitting podcast. I am so looking forward to having a copy of my own!

  370. I love the look of the book. I have to agree about the internet; without it, I wouldn’t have found you or your beautiful patterns.

  372. This looks like a truly lovely book, and what a positive story about the power of the Internet. Thank you for sharing.

    I’ve made Alana’s Cedar Leaf Shawlette twice and one of her sock designs, too… but I NEED to try one of Hannah’s patterns!

  374. Ooh! I’ve been eyeing that book since it came out. I’d love to win a copy. Thanks for the review Anne! And have a great time at the retreat this weekend. It’s such a wonderful group. I went to KRR in 2006 and 2008. Hopefully 2012 is in the cards for me.

  379. What a fantastic book! And yes, the Internet has changed everything with knitting! I don’t know what I would do without Ravelry!

  384. From everything I have seen, this looks like a wonderful book and I would definitely like to win a copy! 🙂

  387. Alana and Hannah are such gifted designers. Such an inspired collection! Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy of the book.

  392. Oh this looks fabulous! That beret was the first piece that caught my eye. I’d love to own this book.

  395. The internet has given me a knitting community as I live in a rural area of Montana. I have really learned and gained as a knitter from online resources. Though not close to either coast (I’ve visited both), I love this book and many of the patterns in it. Please pick me to win!

  396. I agree with you that the rustling leaves beret is the best pattern. That said, I am horribly tempted (and slightly insane to consider) knitting rocky coast. And Bayside is also calling my name… I love this book. Thank you.

  398. I feel indescribably greedy, entering two giveaways on teh same blog in the same week… but I’ve just gotta! – I’m already a big fan of Hannah, and I guess, whatever happens, I’ve learned of another designer to watch – Alana!

  400. I love this book. One of the BEST. I want to knit the beret too. And the sweater. And the other sweater. And

  405. I’ve been reading about this book and would love to knit just about everything. Thank you for the chance to win a copy for myself.

  410. so many beautiful designs! i would love this book–thank you for the chance to win a copy!

  411. Absolutely love the rustling leaves beret! As soon as I saw the first picture of it, I knew I would have to check this book out. Thanks for the review!

  413. Looks like a fantastic book! I’m on a coast right now and would love to knit a project from this book!

  414. Thank you for the detailed book review. Looks like a great selection of patterns. I’ll definitely have to check it out at the bookstore!

  418. Every review I see of this book intrigues me more…definitely one I would love to see in person!

  420. I would love this book! After my Christmas knitting is finished, I plan to start something new for myself. The Wildflower Cardigan would fit perfectly into my work wardrobe

  422. I’ve heard great things about this book — with one of the authors from my home state! I’d love to have a copy. Thanks for sharing, Anne!

  464. What a lovely looking book I have always been a fan of Hannah’s designs and am now looking forward to becoming familiar with Alana’s! I agree that the rustling leaves beret is scrumptious!

  471. I would love to have a copy of this book. Hannah has such lovely designs. I have one on my queue on Ravelry.
