A Contest! A Giveaway! Free Stuff!
A gifted designer from Ravelry has given me a copy of her new ebook to review and one to pass along to some lucky person...if you'd like a copy of your own, leave a comment here at my blog, and tell me who your favorite Hobbit character is. I'll leave the contest open until midnight, December 31, 2012, and then will draw a name at random to receive a link for the download.
Josie Mercier has designed five patterns for knitwear inspired by the book The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. You can see pictures at Josie's blog, and read about her long love of all things contained therein.
Each brings to mind a moment in Bilbo's adventures through Middle Earth. I am most drawn to the Elvish Singing Shawlette and the "Pocketses" vest, but I think the Mirkwood Satchel is intriguing as well. My only wish is that Josie had knit some of her projects in lighter colors, or done something different with the backgrounds to show off her lovely knits a bit better. The charts are clear and look like they'll be easy to follow, and the patterns seem to be well-written. I'm looking forward to casting on my first Hobbit-y project, and hope that you all will be tempted, as well!
Don't forget to leave your comment below so that you can be entered in the drawing. One entry per person, please. This is my first real giveaway, and I am easily confused! :D

Think it would be Eowyn, but also like Bilbo Baggins
I would say Eowyn, but I also like Bilbo Baggins.
Karen, it's looking like your chances are very good to be the winner, as you are the only commenter so far! LOL
Well I'm going to comment! But since I haven't read or seen The Hobbit (yet)...I'm going with a LOTR character..Pippin is my favorite hobbit..his journey is one about growing up..I also love Samwise, as he is so loyal...
and Gollum is such a tragic figure...so hopefully that will cover it! :)
I love Bilbo as he is brave to take the first step to his adventure. I would have to be brave to do a couple of these patterns!
Favourite character: Bilbo Baggins.
Love those patterns, what a talented designer!
