Since I do most of the book reviews for Knitty, I read as many as 100 knitting books a year. Here are three from this year that I think would make great gifts!
This is a classic, finally rereleased with over 700 pages of knitting techniques. If you know a knitter that loves to study the intricacies of how knitting works, they would love this book. It also comes as an ebook, which is a little easier to take with you.
Needles & Artifice: A Refined Adventure Story with Ingenious Knitting Patterns
Steampunk + knittting, what’s not to love? For the knitter with a sense of adventure and a sense of humor. This is one of my favorite books of the year.
Knit Accessories: Essentials & Variations
Have a knitting newbie on your knitting gift list? Or a knitter always on a quest for the perfect basic accessory patterns? This book by Knitty tech editor Kate Atherley would be perfect.

Happy Happy Happy Anniversary! Such awesome yarns for an awesome group of patterns! Perfect for celebrations!
Thank you for having an anniversary! Here’s to 10 more years.
I really like the one in the middle. So pretty!
I’d love to knit with any of these over the holidays!
Beautiful colors and beautiful yarns. Would love to try them all.
The principles of knitting is my favourite knitting book. I haven’t read it cover to cover (yet), but it’s an invaluable reference book.
And all the yarns are beautiful 🙂
What a great giveaway. Thanks for always brightening my day knitty.
Thanks for all you do for the knitting community! Love the book recommendations, and I would enjoy winning one

I would love to win the yarn.
These look like great books. I want to win the yarn too!!
Our knitting guild gave copies of Principles of Knitting as door prizes at our party last week but I was not a lucky winner. All of the patterns and yarn look wonderful. Nina
I’d love to win any of these yarns. They are all so beautiful.
I love the knitty yarn! Pick me. =)
Happy Anniversary Knitty! I’ve already fallen down the rabbit hole and ordered the indigodragonfly yarn, but the other yarns are so pretty and my budget is not. Thanks for another awesome giveaway!

Lovely yarn and a happy anniversary.

Yummy yarn. I would love to celebrate with you all.
Knit trivia; love it!
Beautiful yarn! It would look great in my stash and on my needles 😉
Pretty yarn!
I just finished Beithe in the Lisa Souza Polwarth/Silk, and it’s fabulous – haven’t blocked it yet, but it’s soft and so, so yummy! I’d love to have the BMFA skein to make Fractured Light!
I bought POK as an ebook last year, and ended up reading it throughout our flight to our vacation. It’s as bad as looking up one thing in an encyclopedia or dictionary: then you read the next few things around it, “rinse and repeat”!
In love with those yarns and projects.
I think the Principles of Knitting will be deforming my Christmas stocking. I will therefore need a new stocking. Thus it would be convenient if I win the wool.
Thanks for the chance to win some yarn!
The possibilities of what can be made with one skein of yarn. I wonder!!
OOo, books! Yarn! Love your blog!
Drool….
Lovely yarns!
The yarns are all beautiful…great knitty spirit in a skein! Thanks for the giveaway!
I’d love to win any of those pretty yarns!
Love all three!
Those colors are so lovely! I really need some new handpainted yarn, too… and I adore polwarth.
They’ve all done such wonderful jobs with the colorways, and the patterns! Love it all!
I am in LOVE with the Needles and Artifice book1!! It looks smashing.
Those are gorgeous colours!

As someone else said – the possibilities are endless! All those yarns are beautiful!
Lovely yarns and lovely patterns!
That yarn is lovely!
I love all 3 yarns!
Thanks so much! I’d love any of these skeins.
Those yarns are lovely! What a great way to honor Knitty.

Principles of Knitting is certainly on my wish list.
Very pretty yarns in your giveaway. Thanks for a chance.
Yummy yarn!
The yarn colorways are beautiful and you can never have enough books!!
Thanks for suggesting ‘Needles and Artifice’. Will have to check it out!

Pretty!!! Pick me! Pick me!! Pick me!!!
Really love all three!
What beautiful yarns! Thanks for the chance to win one. Happy holidays!

Oooh, pretty. Thanks for the giveaway!

Cool books!
Would love to try out any of those yarns!
I enjoyed reading about the inspiration for the colorways. It would be wonderful to win this prize.
Great suggestions, and a fabulous giveaway!
“The Principles of Knitting” will have 2 copies under the tree this year, one for my daughter and one for me. I told my hubby that’s what he was getting me this year. He picked out his gift (a felt fedora), so I’m picking out mine.
Yarn drawing? Yes, please!!!
YUM, yarn. I’ve been eyeing those colorways ever since the patterns came up!
The shawl will be lovely in that yarn.
My library got the Principles of Knitting and that was such an amazing book. I couldn’t get through very much at a time, but I want a copy of my own!
All of the anniversary colors are gorgeous! I’d love to win. <3
I would love any of those!
I am not even sure I like steampunk, but I love that green scarf they are promoting with that book! I will hope my library gets a copy so I can check it out 🙂
As for the anniversary colorways – so nice and vibrant – the dyers did an excellent job as did the pattern designers.
I love the new color ways!
Thank you for the great gift ideas, and of course the chance to win the gorgeous yarn! Would be a very Merry Christmas indeed to knit with any of these beauties!
I am so in love with 50 Shades Of Bazinga! (wait, am I supposed to type out the whole long name there?) I just love those colors!!
what an awesome giveaway!
Winning any of those lovely yarns would sure make this week look up!
All three colorways are so lovely! Thanks for the chance to win one!
I just picked up Needles and Artifice, and I’m fighting the urge to cast on everything in the book. Hopefully I can hold out to get my Christmas knitting done.
Count me in for the drawing, please. Any of these would be lovely for some after-Christmas selfish knitting.
I’ve been eyeing up the indigodragonfly one for awhile now, with the Lisa Souza a close second. They’re all wonderful colours and the designers did a great job of reflecting Knitty. Fun event to hold for an anniversary. Happy Anniversary, Knitty!
Ha! Love the name of the Indigodragonfly yarn so much. I feel like we’ve all had those days, for sure.
Gorgeous yarn!
Yarn, yarn, yarn, all so nice – I’d like to win.
Sweet Anniversary yarn! What beautiful color ways and patterns.
Knitting books and pretty yarn can turn a Monday around. 🙂

Wow… I have been eye-ing these projects and contemplating purchasing the yarn… Maybe this will be my lucky day. 🙂 Thanks Knitty, and keep up the good work!
Boy, a holiday gift-to-self would be greatly appreciated! I really like the colors in 50 Shades of Bazinga, I’d smile every time I looked at my toes. Thank you for the giveaway.
Oh those yarns and patterns look lovely. I would love to be entered into the contest.
All the colorways are lovely, but I like Liza Souza’s best.
YARN!! Love it!
Yarn! The fumes are getting to me!
I especially love the deep fall colorway. How beautiful!
This is very special yarn!
Can’t stop drooling over Knitty Deep Fall. Those colors are just beautiful!
Oh my, Yes on the yarn! Also, thank you for introducing Needles and Artifice, I was previously unaware of its existence!
Happy Anniversary and thanks for a great 10 years. All the colors are awesome!
A properly gorgeous celebration. Congratulations on ten inspiring years!
OH, this could be my birthday present!

What a wonderful thing to win!

Oh, Oh!! Pick me!!! I will have to looks into those books, too. I don’t have either in my library, yet.
Now I have books to add to my Amazon Wishlist…::sigh:: I was hoping to not have to do that for awhile. Oh well. Good knitting books are difficult to come by sometimes.

What a tough choice!
Thanks so much for the giveaway!
I’d love to win one of these beautiful yarns!
I’m so excited to have a close friend who started knitting in earnest this year so I can give knitting gifts to someone!
YARRRNNN!!!
I love the “50 Shades of Bazinga…” color way! And I was just looking at “The Principles of Knitting” last night and thinking about getting it for myself. Perhaps putting it on my Christmas wish list is a better idea, at least for now.
Thanks for book recommendations, but you forgot to mention that PoK is also helpful if you are trying to build your biceps. It is heavy! The yarn, on the other hand, seems lightness personified and each of the patterns is lovely.
Pretty Pretty! Want want!
Yes please! 🙂
What a lovely holiday giveaway! It would make a merry Christmas for me!
I was hoping there would be a giveaway when I saw the post about the custom dyework last week. Great job to all the designers. BTW, I can’t wait to get a copy of the Needles & Artifice book, either, so I’m so glad you liked it, too.
Always a good day when there is so much good knitting related stuff to oggle to start my day.
Hey, isn’t January “Selfish Knitting Month?” I’d love a chance for any of the lovelies. Thanks for the chance.
Thanks so much for the opportunity! I love all the colorways that were created for your anniversary but I especially adore the Knitty’s rainbow 🙂
Wow, those patterns look awesome! Thank you knitty, can’t wait to see if I won!
Lovely prizes! 🙂

I would be happy, as always, to win some yarn. Thanks for the book recs!
The Principles of Knitting is a weighty tome indeed. I reserved it at my local library; not realizing how big it is, I walked about a mile to the library to pick it and then had to carry it the whole way home. I recommend biking/driving to get your copy. 😉
I’m planning to make all 3 of these, and would love some free yarn to make one of them!
Those yarns look absolutely delicious!

Because of ever-dwindling shelf space, I have (almost) sworn off adding more knitting books to add to my collection. These all look awesome, though!
=)
Such pretty yarns! Good thing you’re not asking us to pick our favorite of the three cuz I’d agonize over the choice for ages.
They are each lovely! Please pick me!
I think “50 shades of bazinga…” is just about the best name, ever! But they are all very lovely!
Gorgeous yarns! Love all three.
‘Tis the season to add to my stash (pretty please)!
I love these special colorways! A great way to celebrate.

Never entered one of your giveaways before~ I’m afraid I won’t be able to answer the skill question! Now wouldn’t that just suck?!??!
The others are lovely too, but I’m truly in love with the Knitty Deep Fall. It’s gorgeous.
Great gift ideas and great competition!

My luck needs to change. Let’s start with my post being randomly selected for the yarn giveaway.

Ooh, wouldn’t that make a nice present–for me, I mean!

Happy anniversary, thanks for years and years of information and patterns!
I’ve been seriously coveting the Indigodragonfly yarn the second I saw the name. The color’s pretty fantastic too, hehe… Seriously, all three yarns and projects are beautiful. Happy anniversary. ^_^
Of course I would love to win some yarn! This is my year of the sock . . .
For the record, my birth is Dec. 12, so I think I should win some yarn. 🙂
Happy anniversary!
I’ve been bitten by the sock bug, so I’d love to have some beautiful yarn to try out a new sock technique.
Another great giveaway! I would love to win!
I would loooove this prize
Ohhh knitty yarn! What a great giveaway.
So pretty! I would love to win this. Happy 10th, knitty, and thanks for the giveaway!
I really to to get a copy of Principles of Knitting for myself – maybe the ebook, though! The anniversary yarns are gorgeous and the patterns are so well written for each colorway! Designers amaze me!
Beautiful colors!
Huge fan of the site and would love a skein for a winter project 🙂
I’m glad you’re picking which each winner gets – I don’t think I could choose!
I would love the opportunity to make one of these patterns with a skein of beautiful yarn. Crossing my fingers.

Hmmm I may have to add these books to my amazon wishlist!
The special colorways are all really beautiful!
Here’s my comment to enter the anniversary yarns giveaway! (It would be a great treat for the holiday season to win, of course.) Also, as I bought the first book (the second edition of Principles of Knitting) as soon as it was available and have used it constantly since, let me add my enthusiastic voice to the recommendation to get this book if you haven’t already!
Love the colorways, Love Knitty! Happy Anniversary!!
I am stunned by how beautiful the yarn is in the skein as well as knit up!
Beautiful colors!
A most happy anniversary. Many moe to come.
I’ve been drooling over these yarns since your previous post. I was this close to ordering a skein, but I couldn’t make a decision, and it’s not exactly a good time to indulge myself. I DO love them!
All three colorways are gorgeous!

Heh. Steampunk knitting! Not sure about the other two books, but I’ll have to go and have a look at that one …then perhaps leave a print out lying around for the OH to see 🙂
Beautiful yarns! Thanks for the book recommendations, too.
I would love one of these yarns–what great remembrances of 10 years of success.

I will have to look into that knitting steampunk book, looks really interesting! All of the yarn looks awesome too!

I’ve had Principles of knitting on my wishlist since it was rereleased, but if I don’t get it for Christmas I’ll just buy it myself.
Would love to win some pretty yarn.

All so pretty, although the gold is my favorite and the 50 shades of bazinga is my favorite name ever!

Gorgeous yarn to make a wonderful gift for a friend
They are all lovely yarns!
The Indigodragonfly colorway name cracks me up!
It’s a good thing the comment doesn’t necessarily have to be coherent, because my tea hasn’t kicked in, and all I can think is, “Ooo, lookit the pretties” and “Great, there’s another armload of books I need to add to my list.” (700 pages of knitting techniques? Yes, pls.)
Merry Christmas Knitty! Now can I have some more yarn, pretty please??? 🙂
Thanks for another great bunch of prizes!
The yarns are gorgeous!! Here’s hoping I am picked!!
OK, I’ll throw my hat in the ring, and hope some beautiful yarn will fall into it. 🙂

Love a good contest.
Yarn! More yarn! Me wants 🙂
I’d love to get the principles of knitting book, looks like aa great knitwear designing treasure!
I don’t think my library will let me check out The Principles of Knitting anymore. I’ve basically had it since they got it. (I’m being silly, they’ll let me check it out as often as I want because they’re cool like that) It’s probably time to own my own copy.
What beautiful yarns!
Beautiful yarns, the shawl pattern is my favorite. Thanks for sharing such beautiful fiber!
Pick me please!!!!!
I’d love to win one of these yarns!
I love the look of those books, especially the first one. I’m such a geek!

You give away the BEST stuff! One of these times I hope to be chosen
I love the Principles of Knitting book! It’s well-organized and has successfully answered any question I could think of!
The yarns are beautiful, too!
Oh, I’d love to win some of that gorgeous yarn! Especially the sock yarn to inspire me to finally learn how to knit socks 🙂
I haven’t had a chance to see any of these books yet – thanks for the reviews.
Oh man,I would love any one of those skeins. One as a gift and two for ME!

Love all three yarns and projects – any of them would be lovely to win!

You’ve inspired, and informed me over the last 10 years.

Happy 10th anniversary, Knitty! Lovely yarns.
lovely yarns! I’d love to win any of them… I never win anything! lol
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Great yarns! I’d love them.
Does it count for anything if I say I really love the Indigodragonfly colorway?
Please pick me! I love this yarn!
The knitty yarns and patterns are so awesome!
Love the yarns and designs! Thanks for such a great give-away!
Beautiful yarns to celebrate a great publication.
Add me to the list!
Such beautiful colors!

Happy Anniversary, Knitty! Thank you for being awesome!
Happy Annivesary Knitty! New comer to the blog, thanks to Entangled Carol.
Such beautiful yarns. They really capture the spirit of Knitty.
Yeah! LOve giveaways at Christmas time!
I love all of these colors, and yarn is just scrumptious.
Happy anniversary, Knitty! Thanks for giving away all that beautiful yarn. Maybe some of it can make it to Wisconsin?
Marvelous! :)A girl could get a lot of Christmas giving done with a give-away like that!
LOVE the deep fall color (actually all of them are stupendous!) – and… might just have to get the Principals of Knitting for myself for Christmas. Merry, Merry to me!
Love the look of the steampunk book! And the yarn? Like everyone else I’d love to win it.
I’ve fallen in love with 50 Shades of Bazinga. Fingers crossed…..thanks for the chance to win some!
Oooh… love the yarns and the colourway… Congratulations on the anniversary. 🙂
Beautiful yarns, I’d love to own one!
These are all lovely yarns, and I can’t resist putting in my bid.
I love them all, but Deep Fall especially is breathtaking.
Me! Pick me!
I second the “Principles of Knitting” gift recommendation. And I love the special colorway from Lisa Souza. Her yarns are a joy in so many ways.
All three books look wonderful, but The Principles of Knitting is definitely one I want to add to my meager knitting library!
The Beithe shawl and Knitty Deep Fall colorway are the perfect match of style and color!
The yarns are beautiful!
They’re all lovely!!
Lovely colours!
Yummy prizes. Thanks for the chance!
Yay! The colors are so pretty … thanks for the giveaway!
I would love the yarn for making the Beithe shawl but I wouldn’t say no to anything yarny! Please pick me this time. 🙂
Lovely patterns. Lovely yarn. Lovely magazine.
Would love to try, any one of these yarns
I would love to play with any of these yarns, but I think the Indigodragonfly holds a special place in my heart based on name alone. It cracks me up every time I read it.
They’re all so beautiful! I love them all!
They’re all beautiful but I think Knitty’s Rainbow is my favorite.
I have been tempted to get the Principles of Knitting along with some other items (like my IK) in either ebook or CD format. It just feels like the right step before I need to order more pam files to hold my magazines!
Here’s to hoping for an early Christmas present!
Fingers crossed!
I have skill! Pick me!
Wow! beautiful!
Here’s hoping!
Happy Holidays everyone!
Beautiful yarn and designs. Happy holidays!
Great contest because all the prizes are wonderful! Love them all – can’t you hear them; they are calling my name!!!
