Giveaway: More Last-Minute Knitted Gifts

Today I have another giveaway for you knitters and friends-of-knitters. It's a book that you've no doubt seen popping up in your yarn stores and on bloggers' faves lists. Also, it's a perfect book to add to your collection right now, when you're filling a big (ahem) pressed for time. (Please don't tell me I'm the only one!)

More Last-Minute Knitted Gifts is one of those books that makes you want to dog-ear every single project. Except you would never actually do that to your fancy new book. The author, Joelle Hoverson, is the founder of Purl Soho in Manhattan and if you've ever stopped by their blog, The Purl Bee, you know that Joelle and her team are a whirlwind of creativity.

The projects in the book are divided up into five sections: less than 2-hour gifts, 2-4 hour gifts, 4-6 hour gifts, 6-8 hour gifts and more-than-8 hour gifts. I think this is especially perfect for new knitters who may not yet be able to gauge how long a project might take. There is also portions of the book devoted to wrapping and personalizing your gifts. Something we all know is so important for our cherished handmades.

Here are a few of my favorite (fast) projects:

You know you can never have too many knit blankets and baskets.

This scarf would look gorgeous on every single one of my friends.

I have seven baby gifts on my list.

For my brother-in-law.
