We were sorting through stuff on our return from Ally Pally, and thought it would be nice to do a little blog giveaway.
A copy of the book, and a hank of Skinny Nef Lace in Rich Moss are up for grabs. This is enough yarn to knit either Sonning or Tirrold (all sizes short version), or even Hethe (but only in the smallest size).
It's been a few months since The Scrumptious Collection was published, so to remind you of all the lovely projects it contains, we thought we would send you to have another look at the designs. Check out the Ravelry page with all of the designs on it, and then let us know which is your favourite and why? We will draw a winner at random from all of the comments on this post next Thursday (27th October 2011). One entry per person please!
If you already own a copy of the book, we would love to get some reviews up on its Amazon page. If you feel so inclined you can leave a review here: The Scrumptious Collection on Amazon
Many thanks, and good luck!
Very hard to choose but am always drawn in by the cover design Arncott and I think Stonor is fab

Oh I'm torn. Murcott is the one I'll knit first and the one I'm likely to wear. But I also pine to knit a beautiful ruffled vintage cape like Burdrop...
I'll have to say Murcott. But I am torn...

Hethe. Definitely Hethe. It is so delicate and feminine. It would really make me feel like a complete girlie girl if I was wearing it!

I fell in love with Hendred Hat yesterday. So simple and fantastic for showing off the gorgeous yarn.

Longcot is my favourite - it looks very cosy and wearable.

Alvescott for me - just love the detailing

I love sonning it is just the right balance of pretty lace and cosy shawl. All the patterns look great and not doubt are truly scrumptious in real life.

Alvescot. Those cables just pop out and hit me in the eyes.

My fav is CHILDRY because it can be worn all year round & I have loads of 4 ply yarn which encourages me to make lots of them for gifts,
Posted by: Pippinpuss | 10/19/2011 at 11:31 AM
I love Challow best I think (which is why I'm knitting it at the mo!), but after that I think Hethe is stunning!
Have done an Amazon review :-)

They are all beautiful. I would do the CHILDRY because I know it would fit me.
Posted by: Diana H | 10/19/2011 at 01:27 PM
Longcot is the one I would get the most ware from for me.....but its probably easer to say there is not one design I dislike!
Posted by: Kim | 10/19/2011 at 01:33 PM
It would have to be Alvescot, as I love cables.
Posted by: Dianne | 10/19/2011 at 02:32 PM
There is no question that for me Wytham is the most striking. The lace detail and the feminine shaping of this cardigan is lovely! A close contender is Hethe - again because of the lovely lace edging and its light weight.
Posted by: Birgit Halberg | 10/19/2011 at 02:34 PM
I love Hethe
Posted by: sara nixon | 10/19/2011 at 04:27 PM
I love childry. Burdop is absolutely fabulous as it is so feminine. However, my favourite is Alvescot as the lace detailing is exquisite yet also looks so cosy and warm for winter.

As one of the most indecisive people on the planet this is incredibly difficult for me (and my intention is to solve the problem by knitting them all) but in the meantime, the one I intend to plump for first is Burdrop. There is an almost Wizard of Oz quality about it, which takes me back to my childhood, but now that I'm aging retro is contemporary and I know if I made it, people would ask me where I bought it!
Posted by: Sarah | 10/19/2011 at 07:30 PM
Longcot ..... gorgeous! It looks ideal for snuggling into especially as we're having this cold snap right now.
Posted by: Helen | 10/19/2011 at 07:50 PM
I really have to choose??!!?? Wytham then - it's beautiful. Or Longcot - it's a classy garment, or Burdrop - frilly loveliness.
Posted by: KLgrant1971 | 10/19/2011 at 07:57 PM
murcott is the design that first caught my eye and put the book on my wanties list!
Posted by: anna | 10/19/2011 at 08:42 PM
Ooh, so hard to choose! Challow because one of these days I *will* knit a fairisle yoked jumper!
Posted by: ciorstaidh | 10/19/2011 at 09:22 PM

Uffington is my favourite! Looks good with a pair of demons as well as a dress and looks great in about any colour!
Posted by: Cloud-chaser.blogspot.com | 10/19/2011 at 10:11 PM
Arncott and Challow are my favorites. Love the neckline details on Challow.
