Giveaway Winner Announced: Sam, aka Mercourier on Ravelry. Sam was the third commenter on the giveaway post.

Using a Random Number Generator (Random.org), I entered the number of comments -44 comments! Thank you all so much for participating!!!

I have to disclose that I'm close friends with Sam...so I was a bit afraid to announce her as the winner - thinking it might look a little strange. But I performed the random number generation in front of a witness - I promise!

Also, we do owe Sam a bit of credit for this book. She was the one to actually suggest the book designers to the folks at Malabrigo! Thanks Sam! I hope you love your copy of Malabrigo Book Three!

I intend to have many more lovely giveaways on BreeanElyse.com - so make sure to check back!

Also - I'm looking for test knitters for my French Braid Cowl, which will be available in March. Details for becoming a test knitter can be found here.

Here's a little preview of the pattern:

Absolutely love your blog and site... and congratulations of landing the cover and so many of the patterns in Book Three! Very impressive indeed.

For me, there are 'two needs for knit.' There is a time for intricate patterns - to provide a challenge and keep your mind focused (on the stitches – not your stressors). Even though it's hard work, it helps to relieve stress and makes you feel lighter.

Then there's the time for "beautifully simple" - as you so aptly put it. A pattern that you can keep lightly meandering among your thoughts while proceeding on autopilot. This is more to keep your hands busy while concentrating on something else.

I find solace in both - each in their own right. I've already knit your Slouchy Pom Hat and your Extra Chunky Neckwarmer patterns (great pattern writing - they came out perfect). Cannot wait to find Book Three and try your cowls – and possibly – dare I – the shawl on the cover! Magnifique!

Thank you for being a muse and always inspiring me.
