Knitting Pattern Contest Winners

Five big huge congratulations go out to the winners of our intarsia knitting contest! We got so many amazing submissions to win a spot in our next knitting book, Picture Perfect Knits by Laura Birek. (Apparently gnome-like creatures and desserts are very popular motifs for knitwear.) It was hard to choose just five, but Christina and I painstakingly narrowed the entries down to the following awesome intarsia patterns. We’ll print them in Laura’s book, alongside patterns from famous artists like Sarah Neuburger, Denyse Schmidt, Jenny Hart, and more.

Check out the raw wool talent:

My Gnomies by Andrea Tomlinson

Peacock Paisley by Alice Merlino

The Fly by Manuela Tinoco

Yoga Aum by Tracy Jen

Robot by Aoife Clifford

Nice work you guys!

Picture Perfect Knits will be on shelves in Fall 2008.
