Over the past year, I’ve spent a lot of time wondering how many books I might sell. To be honest, I really had no way of knowing or even predicting that number. I dreamed of selling a million, but hoped to sell twenty.
Well, I have sold almost one hundred books, and though it’s not a million, I’m surprised and excited and humbled. I’m also feeling a bit gifty and generous, so I thought I’d do a wee giveaway.
Except it’s not wee. It’s big. Wanna know what you could win?
The Prize
- One advance copy of The Red Collection, plus the digital files to go along with it.
- Yarn! Enough Lamb’s Pride Bulky to knit either the Drifty Hat or Drifty Mittens, and three balls of Lanaloft Sports weight – enough to knit either the Radio Frequency Hat or Mittens (two balls of black, one ball of red).
- A Moleskine notebook. It’s RED!
- A copy of the book 1,000 Fabulous Knit Hats, which contains my End of May Hat pattern, 9 other gorgeous hat patterns, and 990 inspiring photos of knitted and crocheted hats.
- And to top it all off, a Hats & Mittens bag from Yarn Play Cafe to keep all your new swag in. Jen made the bag especially for this giveaway! It’s her new Large Tote Bag with Pockets.

I’ve never visited your blog before. What’s this about a book?
My new book is called The Red Collection. You can learn more about it by clicking here. Thanks for stopping by!
How long is the contest?
The contest starts right now and will run through Friday, October 1st at 7 pm (Eastern Standard Time). The winner will be announced by Oct. 4th.
Thank you!
I’ve known from the beginning of this process that it would be a big job to get the word out about my book. Self-publishing The Red Collection was the perfect option for me and my family, but it means I’m also the publicist, the manager, the distributor, the marketing director, the customer service agent…you get the point. When you share the links to this contest and my blog, you’re making my job that much easier. For every tweet, for every Facebook link you share, for every person you tell about the book, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I couldn’t do it without your support.
