I’m a little obsessed with knitters making sweaters that fit and look good on them. I was so excited when I got Amy Herzog’s new book Fit to Flatter for review. After I finished reading it I knew I wanted to do a giveaway.
So here it is, the I-Love-This-Book-I-Know-You-Will-Too, Fit to Flatter Giveaway.
Our prize package includes a copy of the book donated by Melanie Falick Books:
and a yarn pack (in the winner’s choice of color) to knit the Dorica sweater, one of my favorites, donated by Berocco Yarns:
To win this prize pack leave a comment on this post between now and midnight eastern time, Tuesday April 9, 2013. One comment will be chosen at random to answer a skill testing question. If the commenter answers correctly they will win the book and yarn pack. If you have already won a prize from us in the past year, please do give other knitters a chance.
There’s more Knit to Flatter news:
Amy just released a companion class at Craftsy:
And we have a link for a 50% off the the regular cost. So everyone wins!
Amy never stops thinking of great ideas and knitterly adventures. She’s working on something a little bit secret right now. The details are still being worked out, but it involves, knitting, perfect sweaters and Maine. Here’s a teaser photo:
As soon as all of the details are set Amy will announce it all on her blog!
That book looks great! Thanks for hosting the giveaway.
Yes please. Lately I’ve been knitting in a ‘knit big enough to not rip back’ sort of way. Flattering would be much better!
I am so excited to see this book!
looks cool, my birthday is coming up and it would be a great present ;).
Want, want. Need to knit sweaters!
This book would be just what I need!! I am definitely going to sign up for the Craftsy class!
I would love to have more handknit sweaters, but I certainly need the help!
Oh, yes, I need this kind of help. An “average” sized woman shouldn’t be hard to fit, but I am!
Loved the tutorials, so I’m sure I’ll love the book. Thanks for the giveaway!
I hope these go up into the high plus sizes, I really need a new sweater! My “bumming around the house when I’m cold” sweater was a men’s pattern in cheap acrylic over a decade ago. It’s got a lot of snags & old repairs, and off-color cuffs where they got so torn up I cut them off & reknit them in the closest match I could find.
This is a great looking book. I would love to know how to fit things well and not have them weirdly shaped. I have had this on a wish list for some time.
I’ve had my eye on this book! I definitely need some help making my garments more flattering.
Looks great – would love to add it to my shelf!
What a perfect book–and that sweater is marvelous. Thank you for the opportunity!
This book is definitely awesome looking. Great giveaway!
The main reason I don’t often throw my name in the hat here is that I’m intimidated by that phrase “skill-testing question.” I’m willing to give it a go, though, for this book. I am a (very) plus size woman who sees lots of lovely sweaters with dimensions that often exclude me. I’d love to know how to adapt them.
Yes yes yes! This looks like an awesome book!
that book looks awesome; i have trouble with fit more often than i’d like to admit…
Really, really want!!!
I would love to win this book. I have such a fear of spending hours knitting a garment and then having it not look right on me.
That books would be a great prize – I am just about to get the courage up to knit a full sweater and will probably need the skills to make pattern adjustments for a proper fit!
I am totally a knit-by-the-pattern knitter, and I just haven’t gotten the courage to try adjusting things a bit better. I’d love a copy of this book!
I’d love to win this prize! Thanks!
What I great book!
That book is on my must see list. (the hoodie is cute too)
Fingers crossed…
I have a drawer full of scarves and shawls. I’m looking forward to my first sweater and this book looks like a great place to start. Thanks for another great giveaway.
Thank you so much for this giveaway! This book has been on my wish list ever since I heard of it.
Ooh love that sweater! I can never have enough zip-ups.
This is a BRILLIANT giveaway! I love making sweaters – though I don’t love piecing them together – but I’ve not had a very good track record at picking patterns that look good on me. Being able to do so, or to alter patterns that *could* look good with a tweak or two, would be fantastic!
wow, I never won with you but this one would make me so happy !! fingers crossed …
Just what I need to knit for my daughters.
Oooh, I would love to win a copy of that book! 🙂
Like Anne a couple comments up, I have scarves and shawls and hats aplenty, but still haven’t managed to start a proper sweater. Winning this would certainly inspire me to do so! Such a cute sweater!
Fantastic giveaway! I’ve been debating this book and I’m glad to know it’s as good as it looks =)
Wow, this book looks wonderful! I would not mind having that at all 🙂
Greaat idea for a book and a give away. As a curvy woman with exaggerated differences between bust and hips and a sway back, I have difficulty finding clothes that fit and have turned to making my own.
I’ve been meaning to give this book a try, I’ve heard so many good things about it.
OOOH yes please. I love a hoodie.
Yes please!
TracyC611 on Ravelry
Oh, a great book idea! I have been hesitant to knit another sweater since my first–and only–one is so ill-fitting. Amy’s book is now on my must-read list!
yay for more knitting on Craftsy! Double yay for half off! (THANKS!) And triple yay for book and yarn giveaways! Love following your blog, and the current Knitty is lovely, as always.
This book looks like just what I need. Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy!
I’ve been wanting to take a look at that book for ages — maybe I’ll finally get around to it with the craftsy class!
I’ve been looking forward to this book for what feels like ages – can’t wait to get my hands on it one way or the other!
Oh, oh, oh! (Jumping up and down and waving my hands!)
I heard about this book on the “Stash & Burn” podcast; I would LOVE to receive a copy! Thank you for all the giveaway opportunities!
This looks like an amazing prize. I’d be super pumped to get a copy of this book :).
Can’t wait to get my hands on this book.
Oh, yes please! I have been trying to improve my sweater-making abilities lately! Even if I don’t win, I will have to buy this book…
What a fantastic book! And a HOODIE!! I love and live in hoodies…
I’d love to win the book. I’ve been considering the Craftsy class but want to wait till I have more time. Thanks for the chance to win.
Wow, all my years of knitting and I have never learned the important fit principles. It is frustrating to finish a sweater only to find out that it doesn’t fit—I could really use this book. Thank you for introducing it.
Such a great-looking book! Fit is an important part of any handmade garment.
You are right: I love this book too!
Ooooh, that looks like such a nice book, with beautiful sweater patterns!
Lovely! Sweater knitting is my next mountain to conquer …
Oh yes please!!
I would love to have this book and my granddaughter would look great in that hoodie!
Love that sweater!
I am terrible at figuring out how to make sweaters not look horrible on me! I have hope that the book might help! 🙂
What a great give away! One of my favorite things that I’ve learned from knitting is how to shape things to my body, so a book dedicated to that subject is wonderful – but a yarn pack for knitting one of the projects is over the top awesome! Thanks so much for thinking of us.
I would love to work with this book. So much to learn to improve fit!
I definitely need help in the area this book deals with. Thanks for the giveaway.
I have a friend who would love this book!
I love to knit sweaters (whenever I can pull myself away from knitting socks)! I have had a few fitting disappointments, so this book would be a welcome addition to my knitting reference library.
This would be a real treat to win — we have multiple sizes and shapes in our house, and I could really put this to good use.
This is the first I’ve heard of this book and I really want it now!
A friend just recently recommended Amy’s blog tutorials, but I much prefer book format. I hope to win!
Oooh, Love!
I’d love to have a copy of this book! I’ve knit a couple sweaters now that turned out rather disastrous in the fit area.
Looks like a great book!
I need a vacation! That Maine picture is enticing. For now, I will have to knit after work, and wait.
Neat giveaway!
I love the look of this book! I hope I win!
I love that hoodie! I’ve attended Amy’s Fit to Flatter talks and I can’t wait to see this book.
I need this book! I’ve been too scared to try sweaters for exactly this reason – way too much work to have them not fit wonderfully.
Amy is such a terrific teacher that I am sure the book will be wonderful. I would love to own it. And the sweater looks like a winner for lots of shapes.
I have yet to knit a perfectly fitting sweater. I think this book could help me!
This book would give me the confidence to knit something for myself…yippee! Thanks for the chance to win this incredible giveaway package!
Would love to win this!
I have had the disappointment of working on a sweater and then having to give it away because it didn’t fit me like I had hoped. This book sounds like it would be a valuable resource to aleviate that problem!
This is perfect timing!! I so need to learn to fit and flatter. Thank you for he chance!
If I don’t win, it’s on my birthday list. 😉
After a couple disappointments, I just started making exclusively oversized sweaters that take ages to finish, which is not…actually a solution.
Congratulations on your book Amy!
Clearly most of the knitters out there need this book. It never ceases to amaze me how many pics you see on Rav of sweaters that clearly don’t fit the person modelling them or look horrible because the shape doesn’t suit their figure. There’s a reason why I stick to socks, mittens and hats. : )
I would love nothing more than to finally, after 20 years, knit a sweater for myself that actually looks good on me!
Would love to get my hands on a copy, I like Amy’s work a lot.
I NEED this book.
I am ready for this next step in my knitting skills!
Oh me! Pick me!
I loved Amy’s web tutorial version – really helped me see why some designs I really liked didn’t end up looking so great on me – so a hard copy with all her new information would be fantastic!
What a great subject! I would love the help.
OOOOH, Dorica is cute!
That looks like an awesome book!
This looks so useful! And a hoodie – be still my heart. 🙂
Wow, I’d love to win this. I am always challenged to find clothes that fit!!
Fun sweaters! Pretty yarn!
I LOVED her web series about how to make sweaters that fit. It was brilliant!! I think I’ll have to get a copy of the book too, although winning it from Knitty would be great. Thanks.
I need this book – Im still a bit of a novice and always struggling to get sizing right – 🙂
I love the Fit to Flatter group on Ravelry, so I am sure this book will be excellent too, would love to win a copy.
As someone just starting to design, I would LOVE to win this prize!
That looks like a great resource to have around the house!
looks like a great go-to book – and a kit to boot! thanks for the chance! 🙂
How awesome!
Thanks for the terrific giveaway. I could use some flattering hand knits.
Wow, what a giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win. I’ve been eyeing this book!
I really want to win this one!
This book looks awesome! Pick me, pick me!
That looks like a great book!
Looks like a great book – and I love that sweater, too!
What a great idea for a book!
I would love this book!
I know I will benefit greatly from this book, but my friends and family will be sad when I start wearing, and stop giving away, all the beautiful things I make that just don’t fit my body. . .
Oh-this book will get dog-eared in my house. I have an oddly proportioned frame and could use all the help I can get to make knits that fit well. Thanks!
Oooh. I pre ordered the book, but would love to win a spare copy to share with my knitting group!
Looks like a great book!
I am really impressed by this concept form what I’ve seen of it and would love to study the book more closely.
Yes, please! 🙂
I would love to win this prize, I need to figure out the best fit for me!
Oh! I’ve been knitting for years, but have never made an adult-sized sweater because I’m afraid of spending lots of money on yarn and then not loving the result. This book would be just what I need to get started on my first sweater for myself!
I would love to be able to make sweaters that fit me right.
Commenting
Oooh, I would love to knit that sweater! In a nice charcoal grey…..
Oooh, sounds like a book I need in my collection!
I’d love this book!! 🙂
I would love this!
This book would be great! I never know how to fit knitted items to my shape.
This looks like a great Book!!
I can only imagine what my sweaters would look like if they actually fit properly! I would love this book.
What a great giveaway! Thanks
I would so like to win this book, and I am dying to knit that Dorica sweater!
That would be a very useful book for me 🙂
Pick me, pick me! I love sweaters and they are so hard to get right.
I would love to read this book! 🙂 Just finished a Herzog sweater but things didn’t go quite as planned!
This looks fantastic! I’d love to win it!
I fell in love with a pattern from this collection that was published in knitscene a couple years ago. How great would it be to have a whole book?
looks like a great book!
I have to get this book, I can’t tell you how many sweater I’ve knitted and frogged them because they look like #*&@ on me. If I don’t win the book I’ll buy it.
Wish me luck
Elly
I’m another person who needs this book. Big boobs+small waist = a need to customize.
I recently got into finding out the right style clothes for certain body types, and this would help me take it into knitting.
Oh, I really need this one! I can’t make things that flatter my figure and it’s driving me nuts!
A sweater is the one thing I’ve been afraid to try for that reason I’d love this book. I have the perfect sweater I’ve been putting off.
I would love to add this wonderful book to my collection!
Oooh, I’ve been drooling over this one. I’d love to win, thanks.
Would love to win this book and yarn package. Thanks for such a great giveaway!
I could find that exceptionally useful!
I have been waiting eagerly for this book to come out.
OMG, I am thrilled to see this book. As I recall, Amy did a preliminary series of blog posts on this topic that are great. I would be so excited if I won this.
Oh, I could so use this book! maybe I’d get it right the first time and stop having to fix things.

I would love to win this book!! I just read a review of it the other day! Thanks for the opportunity and good luck, all!
I’d really really love to win this book.
Sounds like a really useful book. I could really use something to stop me making jumpers that don’t look good on me.
wow, what a generous prize!
I need all the help I can get to get clothes to look right on me!!
The book looks so exciting!
I want to make myself a sweater this year. This would help me so much to get it done.

I’ve been waiting for a book like this for so long!
I love knitting wearables! Cant wait to get my hands on this awesome book.
Yay! I keep hearing about this book, I would love to have it!
Maybe I could stop knitting ribbon winning sweaters that don’t actually fit right,lol. The featured sweater is so cute! Thanks for the chance
Count me in!
I’d love to win the Knit to Flatter book.
I would really, really love to win this book, as I’ve just started to knit sweaters and other big stuff. This would be perfect!
Would absolutely LOVE to win!
This book looks super-awesome, since pretty much no one is the same size or shape as the pattern measurements
What a great giveaway, just from the pics I can see a few sweaters I would mind making. Thanks for the chance
When do we get to read your review? Either way, it looks like a great book for knitters at any level! Like me!
Looks like an awesome book!
I know I’d be INCREDIBLY lucky to win this, but those who never try never win. Thanks for the chance!
I just saw this book at the bookstore and would LOVE to have it!
Amy’s attitudes about bodies and the need to value the ones we have are so refreshing. Thanks for featuring her book here!
I gave myself the treat of taking a live in person class from Amy back in Dec. I’m looking forward to seeing the book in person too!
As soon as I heard about this book, I knew I’d have to have it! What a great prize.
I’ll throw my hat into the ring for this. Thanks for the opportunity!
So many great patterns! Thanks so much!
I would love a chance to win!
Oh, sweaters are my favorite thing to wear, but I’m just learning how to make them so they fit. I really need this book. Thanks for the chance!
I’ve had this book on my radar too! It’s amazing how bad I am at choosing the right combination of pattern and yarn… One day I’m sure I’ll succeed and make something that looks good on the hanger AND me, and I’m hoping this book will help! 🙂
I love Amy Herzog’s design and i´m a beginner at knitting sweaters so i really need some help.
This is a wonderful giveaway. Thanks for your kindness and effort putting it together!
I’m sold whenever fit and knitted sweater are combined into a sentence. What else can a knitter ask for??
I would love to get into knitting garments! As is, I am a little stuck on shawls and hats, because it is easier to fit them. This book would be perfect to get me started on the right track!
This books looks like what I need. I generally avoid knitting anything with a close fit just because it makes me so anxious.
I’ve been hearing great things about this book! I’d love to win a copy.
The book sounds awesome, I can’t wait to see it. Thanks for the chance to win!
What a great prize! It looks like a great book. Thanks for the chance to win.
Looks like a great book!
I love books. And yarn! And also love sweaters!
I’d love to see that book in person – and thanks for the discount link – I’ll be sure to sign up for the class soon (even though I don’t know when I’ll find the time to watch it…)
Such a cool book. Was perusing it on Amazon the other day.
I am super excited about this book and the class!! I have been a fan of her patterns and instruction for a while now. Amy is totally bitchin’!!! Thanks Knitty!!
It looks like a great book.I’d love to make the hoodie in the color shown.
What a great book! Count me in.
I think this book would be really useful! I’d love to be entered to win. 🙂
Book sounds great, especially for those of us who are extra fluffy pear shape with long torsos. (talk about hard to fit!)
This book would be so useful! I’ve knit myself a couple sweaters, but no more, because I just can’t get them to fit right. I have a non-standard shape, and I’m just not confident enough to modify patterns to fit me. It’s so much work, for an unpredictable result.
This book looks great!
The Dorcia sweater is amazing! This book sounds amazing too! Maybe with it’s help I could knit a sweater that actually fits me. :o)
Thanks for the chance to win!
I’ve been eyeing this book. It looks very handy, and fun besides!
I love that pattern, too! I have decided to focus on sweaters for awhile so I think I might make that whether I win the yarn or not.
I’m always jealous by the skills of sweater knitters. Mine always seem so boxy!
What an interesting book, thanks for the chance to win!
I’d love to win this, I’ve been waiting for it for months!
What a great giveaway! Can’t wait to congratulate a winner.
Can’t wait for the book to come out!
Thanks for hosting this great giveaway! I’d love to make something for myself that really fits well.
Thanks for the opportunity to win. I’d love to knit the Dorica Hoodie and at least three other sweaters I see on the cover. And thanks also to Berocco for providing the yarn!
Ooooh, that looks like a book I need! My sweaters always come out just a little bit not right. Thanks for the giveaway!
signed up for the class, would love to have the book as well.
What an awesome book!
I’d love to make a flattering sweater on purpose!
yes, please! I love to knit, but I’m shaped kind of funny.
I have never knit myself a sweater because I am afriad it won’t fit when I get it finished! Maybe this book is just what I need.
This looks like a terrific, practical book. I’d love some more help with fitting.
Thanks for offering your great give-aways.
Cute!
While it’s difficult to imagine anything fitting or flattering my current body I don’t think I’d even try without reading this book first!
I do need to make sweaterly things that look good on me…and I need all the help I can get 🙂
Great giveaway. Thanks!
Always looking for new ideas!
I love the idea of sweaters that actually fit!
I would love to be considered for this prize! Many thanks to the sponsors for their generosity!
This a great! I would love to have more knits that flatter.
I already signed up for Amy’s Fit to Flatter class on Craftsy and her new book seems like it would make a great companion. Thanks for the chance to win!
I have put the book on my Amazon wish list already. I plan on asking for it for my birthday so I have time to incorporate its lessons into my first real sweater attempt. 🙂
I’m trying to focus more on making things that flatter and Amy is wonderful for that!
I’m just starting to get more into knitting sweaters, and would love to have this book.
That looks wonderful! I’d love to figure out how to work up the perfect sweater for me.
Although I’m an experienced knitter, fit is one area where I could use some help. Thanks for the giveaway.
Ooh. I tried to take a fit to flatter class last time I went to Rhinebeck, but it was full by the time I got to the signup page. I’d love to win a copy!
I think I love that wrap top. Straight into the queue it goes!
I would love to win the book….I am yet to knit my first adult sweater because I am not convinced that I can make it fit. Perhaps this book would help?
Yes please! Who wouldn’t love to be flattered?!?
Definitely sounds like a book to take a look at.
I would love to learn more about knitting to shape and flatter (after some disasters!)
I keep wanting to knit myself a sweater, but I’m terrified of modifying patterns as every time I’ve tried it’s been a disaster. And forget knitting a pattern unmodified. I’m a little too….ahem, blessed…to knit most patterns as written.
Man oh man, don’t I wish I could whip that up and put it on this afternoon in the cold and damp of the northwest US! Pick me!
Posting for contest!
Eagerly awaiting news about this retreat!!!
Knitting with Amy in Maine…..a small slice of heaven.
as I am starting into the world of knitting sweaters, this is high on my list of desired books.
Looks like a perfect sweater, and one I would like to knit
Really could use that!
How perfect! I would love to win a copy of this book, and I adore Dorica.
Oooooooooooooooooh! Very nice prizes!!!!!
I might need to get this as I really want to knit a sweater, but I want to make sure it’s going to look good.
Would love that for a first real sweater… thanks for the giveaway!
As I currently appear to be knitting from a book titled Knits That Flatter No-one I could really use this book!
I’m finally at the point where I feel that I’m ready to knit sweaters. This book looks fascinating – and of course I’d love to win it!
Oh my heavens, pick me please! 🙂
Wonderful book and beautiful sweater.
I started knitting in the 80’s when it was stylish for knits to NOT fit. Think 50″ sweater circumference on a 32″ bust (I was 17 at the time). I am slowly learning to to make knits that actually fit and flatter. This book could help teach an old knitter new tricks.
I love the Dorica pattern!
I could use some flattering…
The book looks fantastic! Love the hoodie, too.
I would love to win this prize! I haven’t knit a sweater yet, because of the fit problem… this would be so wonderful.
Jane
Wow, I NEED my sweaters to fit better but I bet it involves switching!
Swatching, dumb ipad autocorrect.
Oh please pick me – I would love to knit a sweater but am afraid that after all the time and effort it would not fit. Socks are forgiving, shawls always fit. But a sweater, that is just scary.
Looks like a great book, and one I could put to good use.
I’ve had my eye on this book for a while now, so I’d love to win a copy. And who wouldn’t want to spend time in Maine knitting! Can’t wait for the retreat info.
In serious need of a flattering sweater! Signing up for Craftsy course- thank you whoever made the 50% off happen- and would love to have this book to go along.
If you could only see some of the sweaters I have knit – you would rig the draw so that I win. Thanks for the chance!
Looks like a wonderful book. I’m looking forward to getting my hands on it! (And I’m literally about to move across the country to Maine, after years of living in California, so the teaser about Amy’s next project is exciting too 🙂
Oh yes – that would be a very useful addition to the library.
This does look like a truly helpful book. So many of us don’t quite fit the standard sizes and it would be great to make things that fit our shapes!
This looks so awesome! I am loving knitting sweaters right now, this would really help me with fitting them better.
since the majority of patterns don’t fit me, i think this book needs a place in my library!
This looks like a really useful addition to every knitter’s library.
I’m putting the book on my wishlist right now, but I’d still love to win!
Ooooh I love Amy Herzog’s designs! This book looks absolutely wonderful 🙂
This sounds like it would be a great addition to my knitting library!
Looks like a great book. I am always nervous about how my hand knits will fit.
That looks awesome!
Easily modifiable patterns, with tips and tricks to flatter everyone? Yes please!
Amy is the queen of fit. I’d love to have her book.
I would luuurve that book in my library, going to check out her online class right now! Fingers crossed 🙂
Just the book I’m looking for. I started adding waist shaping to sweaters I knit and it makes a big difference. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I would love to own this book…thanks for the giveaway!!!
I would love the book, I’ve had some trouble with sweaters fitting right in the past…
Oh! Pick me!
I love Amy’s design and really would like to learn how to make things that not only fit, but accentuate what I like.
Thanks for the opportunity and all the great work Knitty does!
I love Amy’s Fit to Flatter series! I would be thrilled to own a copy of this book!
This would be perfect – I’m trying to figure out what kind of sweater I want to knit for myself for house lounging.
I really want to get a copy of this book soon. I keep shying away from sweaters because they’re so involved in terms of time and yarn.
I am such a big fan of Amy’s. Would love the book and the yarn and I am definitely signing up at Craftsy. Thanks for the coupon.
looks great
I would love to win this book as I usually try to modify a sweater to fit….I could use the help
What a great hoodie! I need to go “favorite” that one for sure. I have heard great things about Amy’s book and the Craftsy experience.
This is just what I need. I’m a bit reluctant to make a sweater for fear that it won’t fit when I’m finished.
cute hoodie, vintage is nice to work with too – comes in so many nice colors!
I would LOVE to win!!! Amy’s designs are incredible, and I can’t wait to get her book – either from the giveaway or maybe as a birthday present to myself in a few weeks… 🙂
This book will be mine, one way or another. 🙂
Ooh, I love the hoodie. And after just finishing a garment that doesn’t quite fit, I really need that book!
I love to knit sweaters and cardigans and only some of them fit perfectly, so I could definitely use this book, it looks great.
Looks like a great pattern book to have. I’d love to win.
I have got to get myself to her class soon – in the meantime, would love to win the book!
OMG!! WANTwantWANTwantWANTwantWANTwantWANTwantWANTwantWANTwantWANTwantWANTwantWANTwantWANTwantWANTwantWANTwantWANTwantWANTwantWANTwant!!!!!
I would love to have that book! I read the blog posts with fanaticism, and think the book would be an even better read – and a great tool to help me create sweaters I actually wear!
I adore that sweater!
Ohhh….yes please. That sweater is gorgeous!
Great patterns! I could use some guidance in getting a better fit, I think I need to pay more attention to the cross-back measurement.
Oh I would love this book!
That’s the secret to a good hand-knitted garment isn’t it? It fits as if it is made for you! Any help getting this right would be appreciated.
Oh, please, please, please let me win!
would love a copy of this
What an awesome book! I’d love a copy!
I am just now starting to really “get” how to fit a sweater. This book will come in handy and help a lot! Thank you Melanie and Berrocco!
A book that can teach me how to adjust patterns would be great!
I’d love to win the book and yarn! I need some flattering sweaters. 🙂
After two recent failed sweaters, I desperately need the book!
I’d love to find a way to make a sweater for myself that fits. Most patterns are too large. I’ll take Amy’s help at learning to fit MY body.
Ooh, I’d love to win this one! Amy’s designs are gorgeous, her advice is so helpful, and I love Berroco yarns.
I have been watching this book for weeks now, trying to think of an occasion to buy it. Maybe I can win it instead!
With a family of vastly varied shapes I’m sure this book would be a tremendous asset for me!
Fingers crossed!!
The perfect addition to my bookshelf!
I totally need both that book and that sweater…
Me please!
If that knitting in Maine happens in the fall, I’m there. Right now I don’t even care about the price – I’m saving up.
that’s the book I’ve been looking for!
Wow! I’d love to take that class and have the book. I wonder how adaptable her techniques are to men’s bodies.
I love Amy and I want that book! I wish I lived in the USA so I could take her class in person!
Now this is I could really use 🙂
This book looks amazing!! Thanks for the giveaway!
Woohoo! I’d love to get my hands on that book!
I’d love to win a copy of this book. Sounds like it solves the problem of nothing fits right when you have a large bust, but are otherwise petite.
What an awesome prize! I’d love to win. That cardigan is beautiful.
Oh hai, looks like a fabulous reference and pattern resource.
Sweet! I would love a chance to dig into this book.
The book looks amazing! I’d love to win a copy. 🙂
Ooooh, I’d *love* to win this! I’ve yet to knit a sweater that I like when it’s finished. LOL!
Flatter me with a win – please? I sorely need this.
I think it is wonderful that there will be a book of Amy’s techniques to refer to when modifying a pattern to fit my fluffy figure.
Amy is one of my favourite designers and I would love to win a copy of this book!
This book looks amazing! What a great giveaway!
No more crazy sweaters that don’t fit!
Yay! Loved her class. Looking forward to reading the book!
Ooh! I would love this! Please pick me!

This is a wonderful prize – it would be lovely to win it – thanks for the opportunity!
Great idea for a book and great patterns, too.
What an exciting contest opportunity, thanks!
This just may be the very book I need–lots of knitted things just don’t fit.
I’d love to win this yummy yarn and a book that allows me to Knit to Flatter my figure! Count me in.
I have been eyeing this book as well! I love to make sweaters but they don’t always fit me correctly even if I follow the gauge. Love to win this book! My knitting fund is maxed out right now! 🙁
Boy do i need this book! What a great giveaway!
book looks excellent. Thanks for doing these giveaways…

I am really excited about this book. Thanks for the chance to win one.
What a useful-looking book! I’d love to win the giveaway.
Since I have a terrible time knitting a sweater that fits I would love to have this book. What a lovely sweater to have as my first fitting sweater.
I always have to make adjustments if I want garments to fit me well, and I’m not always sure how to best go about it. That book would be a great help! Thank you for offering us a chance at winning a copy of it.
Interesting. We all have a style that works for our body type, the trick is to find it!
I have long avoided knitting sweaters because of all the time it takes and then what if it looks terrible? This book sounds like it could help with that!
This sounds like a great book for those of us who struggle with fit.
Fit is one of the hardest things for me, which is why I usually stick with baby items. I’d love a copy of this book!
Sweater is my resolution for this and it’s not going well this would be a great push
That looks like a great book, would love to add it to my collection!!
I just bought the Craftsy class not long ago and I can’t wait to buy the book too!
Would love to win this book and yarn pack.
I’d love to win this book. Maybe it will start a new passion for knitting fitted tops for my weird body.
Please, please, please!
I would love to win this book. Thanks for the give away.
Would love to win this,,,Good luck everyone!
Fit is is always the hardest.
I love the Fit to Flatter approach. I am using it right now on my latest (and hopefully greatest!) sweater. But I can always learn more, so I would love to win this prize!
the books looks amazing
What a gorgeous sweater!
I have never won anything and this book is a winner whether I win it or not!:)
Hey Jillian!!
Oh, I would love to win the book! I have a hard time fitting myself, and it would surely help. My daughter’s are also hard to fit, so I can’t make them sweaters easily.
Also, I really want to go to Maine and knit! I vacationed there as a child, and loved it!
Gorgeous sweater – looking forward to reading the book!
Great book! Want it badly!
As a curvy girl, I’d love to have this book!
This book looks great!
I am becoming obsessed with knitting sweaters and would love a chance to win this package
fabulouso!
I’ve been looking forward to this book for a bit, and have signed up for the Craftsy class. I’m certain it will give me the confidence to finally use some of that yarn I bought for making sweaters.
Dorica is my favorite sweater from the book! Super cute hoodie.
I just started the online class. It’s terrific! I am learning so much about choosing flattering details in clothing. I know the book would be a great reference, plus it has several great patterns!
I would love to have this book. It looks like an awesome resource! Thanks, hope I win!
I’ve been really looking forward to this book. I’ve had a frustrating time knitting sweaters that fit and are even remotely flattering for myself.
This book looks awesome! I may need to just go buy it.
Oh I would just love to win this book. Oh and yarn. I’ll be studying up in case I get to answer the question! Oh the excitement of a wonderful book and yarn. A dream pair.
What fun!
I would love to knit that sweater!
I love that hoodie pattern. I had my library preorder the book so that I was the first to check it out. I’ve been drooling over the patterns but have to return the book in 2 weeks. I hope I win a copy. There’s a waiting list to check it out again,
I’ve already ordered the book
Would love to have your book, I have been hearing about it for while now
Yes, please!
Looks like a great book!
I would love a chance to winter this book!
This book looks like a very useful addition to any knitting library and I would love to have it!
Ooh, ooh, pick me please!
Here’s hoping 🙂
I’m working on learning how to knit (and pick) sweaters that will look good…
Some day I will take on of the Knit to Flatter classes. In the meantime, the book will do. It looks great!
I recently took Stephanie Japel’s fitting class and she mentioned that we should keep an eye out for this book.
I love all of Amy’s stuff and I can’t wait to see her book!
Looks like a great book/resource to have!
I’m getting better at knitting sweaters that fit but I need much more help.
Amy has such great designs – oh how I’d love to win!
There’s still room in my bookshelf!
This book would be so helpful. I’d love to make better-fitting sweaters!
What a great combination – Amy’s sense of style and technical knowlege! I’d love to have a copy of this book.
Thanks for the giveaway.
Ok, so I think I commented on the wrong post. Forgive me if I show up twice 🙂 This looks like an awesome book and can’t wait to meet it in person.
This book has been in my Amazon cart (in the hold for later section) since I first learned of it. Thanks so much for this generous giveaway!
Yes please!!
Looks great-and I may be inspired to buy another Craftsy class and actually take it this time!
A really wonderful looking reference book! Thanks for the chance at a lovely giveaway.
Geesh, I could use some flattery. Thanks.
Looks like an awesome book! Would love a chance to win it. Thanks for the giveaway!
Looks Nice.
I love the lace pattern on the hoodie.. thank you for the giveaway. Oh my goodness what an idyllic place to knit and learn… oh my!
I’d love to have this book! All the patterns look really nice.
Fingers crossed! That looks like a really useful reference, plus yarn 🙂
I first read that the random comment had to provide an answer to an unknown knitting question. So here it goes:
Paired decreases of k2tog and SSK.
Always knit a swatch.
Worsted.
42.
😉
I would very much like to win this book…
I’ve been avoiding knitting sweaters because I fear they won’t fit; would love a whole book to teach me how to do it! Thanks for the giveaway.
I’ve shied away from making sweaters due to my poor fitting outcomes. I’d be willing to give it another try!
I would love this book!
What a wonderful book and package. I love the sweater you’ve chosen for it. I can’t wait for a chance to flip through there must be several great designs and I’d like to make something new for summer. In addition to a new sweater or 6.
sounds like a great book to get a sweater that fits. I gave up on sweaters after 4 didn’t fit when I finished…sigh.
I think that this book would be very useful to make my knitting fitting better or looking better on me.
Thank you for letting us know that it exists.
I really enjoyed the craftsy class.
A sweater is on my list for this year and I am so nervous about gauge and fit! This would help bigtime!!
Looks like a great book!
Thanks–Carol
I would love to win this prize. I really liked the Fit to Flatter series Amy did on her blog so I’m sure her book is really interesting.
Oh, I was looking for this one…
Her designs are lovely. Thank you for a chance to win.
What a lovely book. Thanks for the giveaway.
This book is on the top of my wish list right now. I would love to win it!
Amy’s blog has already been invaluable to me, along with Julie at Knitting at Large. With their help I’ve knit two sweaters that fit this winter and I am enjoying a new feeling of confidence ( and two great sweaters).
I have followed Amy’s blog for a long time . I am looking forward to taking the class and reading the book.
Thanks for the giveaway. This book would be so helpful.
Squee! How fun!
Wonderful book!
Finally! A book that will help me with my plus-size pattern adjustments. Thank you!
love the look of this book – I’ll be adding it to my bookshelf soon!
I would love this book! (It’s much needed lol!)
I loved Amy’s tutorials on flattering knitting and I’ve took her class on craftsy, i’d love to have her book too.
Awesome! Pick me and I will donate the book to my Knitting guild. We just discuses at our last board meeting the need for a program on just this topic!
What a fabulous give away! I’ve long loved Amy’s tutorials.
I have loved Amy’s tutorial on her blogs, and I’m certain I’ll love this book as well.
Oh please pick me!
What a cute sweater, I have to check out this book. Thanks!
I heard the interview with Amy on the Stash and Burn podcast and have been lusting after this book since then!
Oh boy would I like to win this!
That looks like a fabulous book!
What a great giveaway! Please pick me.
If it were just the book, I wouldn’t jump in and try to win since I preordered it. But I could definitely use the yarn and have friends that would live the book so. I hope it’s my lucky day.
Ooooh. that looks like a great book. And the yarn is nice too! Pick me!
This looks like a fun book! My knitting bucket list includes designing a sweater from scratch – this would be VERY helpful! Thank you for the opportunity!
I know this book would be very useful.
Looks like great patterns and a way to make them fit well.
Would love to win this book! I have requested the local library buy it, and am on the list to check it out first. [Right after the knitting librarians get it!] The thought of my very own copy is thrilling!
Would love to own this book so I could get over my sweater fear!
I just added this book to my Amazon wishlist – which prompted me to say that it was ALREADY on my wishlist. Clearly I really want this book!
I’ll have to stop by the bookstore and check this one out!
book sounds great – I definitely do not fit ihnto “standard” sizes!
Ooh, pretty!
I cannot wait to get my hands on this book! What a terrific resource to have in my library!
Would love to win the book, as my efforts always end up too tight here and too loose there. The yarn would be a wonderful plus to try out newly learned skills!
PICK ME! what an awesome giveaway!!!
I can’t wait to see this book! I love her blog series and body-positive attitude, and I’ve been so much happier with my clothing choices, including the sweaters I knit, ever since. 🙂
Oooo – I really want this one!
Looks like a great book
Getting a sweater to fit is one of the hardest things about knitting for myself. This book would be a godsend. Hope I get chosen to receive this giveaway.
I just heard a review about this book and Craftsy class on one of the podcasts I listen to. It sounded like a wonderful book, and one I would love to win!
What a wonderful book! A must read before starting that sweater in sock yarn that you “think” is going to be a closet staple.
This would definitely benefit me. After my weight gain, I haven’t been able to find a sweater pattern that would look good on me. I would love to win this package!
Looks very cool! I’ll have to check it out.
I could really use this book. My spinning guild wanted me to do a program on how to come up with a basic sweater that fits. I know some things not to do…
This book is top of my wish-list!
This book looks so wonderful!! I need it in my collection! Thanks for the giveaway!
Being tall means always having to fiddle with patterns. This book would be great to have in the library!
Count me in the contest.
Ooh, I do the same thing, it would be nice to have a guide!
what a lovely book, and sweater pack!
very nice! I will have to try to get this book! One of the reasons I love that I knit is that my body shape is uniquely mine. Its also the same reason I have felt too intimidated to try knitting a sweater. If I am going to do all that work, I want it to be great, and not just “meh”
Cute sweater!
oooh yesss. i need that!
Another great giveaway!! This book looks fantastic!
Oooooh, I love Amy Herzog’s fit to flatter teachings! I had no idea she was putting them into a book, but now that I know I am way excited! I hope I win! =)
Thank you as always for such awesome giveaways!
Sounds interesting – would love to win, but I’ll look out for that one anyway.
Great giveaway, would love some direction when it comes to getting knits to fit.
I would love to win this book! I think I stall out on sweaters often because of the fitting or flattering issues. It looks like this book would help identify and avoid problems in those areas and the sweaters are just cute anyway!
I’m so excited about Amy’s book. I’m a huge fan of her designs.
I have never made a sweater before because I have been afraid to spend all that time and it not fit properly. Amy’s book has inspired me to actually tackle a sweater and have it fit correctly!
Must start swatching now..so I can
knit to flatter!
This looks like a fantastic book!
Oh, I’d love this book. I haven’t had the guts to make myself a sweater for over 20 years, and this looks soooo awesome!
Thanks for the chance!
I would love this book. Having a small frame big and big boobs (it’s genetic, not surgically enhanced), means I have a hard time keeping the girls locked and loaded.
I have an odd shape, so would very much appreciate winning this giveaway. My daughter would look cute in the hoodie.
I would love to win this book; I’ve knit several sweaters but all of them have some detail that isn’t quite right in the fit or functionality.
I would love to win this. I just signed up for the Craftsy class and it looks really great!
Count me in!
Thank you for this competition. Good luck everyone!
Pick me! Pick me!
This is a book I would love own!
this looks like a fabulous book!
I would love this book! Do I qualify for the draw, I live in the Netherlands??
I think i may be in love! As a plus size, top heavy (ahem!) Lady fit and flatter are a constant struggle (which is why I’m s in love with my Feb. Lady sweater:-) ) I must own this book!
I would love this book, it would be great to finally have a sweater that fit.
This book looks absolutely lovely!
I could use this book – I’m always making things for others and would like to make something for me … that fits.
I have the book on order already, but if I win I will gift it to a friend who will really appreciate it. I’ve been so pleased with my sweater mods since finding Amy and love telling others about her! It’s so nice to see her book and class featured here.
Oooh, I love the patterns in this book!
Can’t wait to see this book.
Wow, this is awesome! I NEED this book, right to the top of my wish list.
Pick me!
This would be such a wonderful book to own! I hesitate at knitting sweaters because I’m always worried that they won’t fit me well enough for me to want to wear them.
I am still too afraid to knit a sweater — but I am working up the courage! I think this book would help me a ton!
Amy Herzog is a genius! I would love to get my hands on her book!
I’m a serial pattern alterer, and I’d love to know how to do things properly. Count me in please!
Great giveaway! Thanks for sharing the book with us, Jillian!
I’m taking Amy’s Craftsy class right now and loving it. Will be getting the book asap!
What a wonderful give-away! Love that sweater.
I love the trend of books about knitting to actually fit your body! Great giveaway.
I love Amy’s blog & need to get a copy of this book.
Sounds like a great book, and I’ll definitely be checking out the Craftsy course too!
I’ve heard nothing but raves about the book, I need to check it out.
I just got a copy of this book in my hands, and it is phenomenal! I LURVE it! Thanks for the great giveaway.
I could definitely use some help with sweater-knitting, as I’m somewhat new to it and my first attempt was a disaster. I already love Berocco yarns!
This book would be great to have in my library. I often don’t knit a sweater because I can tell that I will have to tweak the pattern and am not sure how to do that. And that sweater is adorable, so that yarn pack would be wonderful too!
I would love to have this book! I have been wanting to knit a sweater for myself but am finding the task a bit overwhelming. I don’t want to make a sweater I will never wear…
(Oh, oh, please pick me…. ^_^ )
I love that the models are of all shapes and sizes. It really gives me confidence that the techniques in the book will actually work for someone like me! 😀
Amy always has such lovely designs on offer… I’ve been anticipating this book for a while now, and it would be great to just dive in.
I can’t wait to read this book! It looks very useful–just what I need to start becoming a more adventurous and independent knitter!
Awesome! I’m pretty good at knitting sweaters that fit ME well, but not so much for other people’s bodies…
I think this book promises to be awesome! I’d love to win it!
Great prize package!
Oh, I’d love to knit there! Good luck in the contest, everyone!
This is a huge deal! I love fitted clothes and have been wishing I knew more about shaping my own handknits.
Yes, please! This curvy and petite woman would love this book!
When I was 20, I could knit anything and be happy wearing it. Now that I’m in my 50s, I don’t like how most things look on me. It’s hard to decide to put loads of time into a sweater that I may think looks horrid on me. I need tips that will boost my confidence.
The only sweaters I’ve ever made successfully have been for my kids. I’ve always been afraid to make one for myself, as I was too chicken to invest all that work in something that wouldn’t fit properly. I’m planning to sign up for that course, and hope to get my mitts on a copy of that book soon! thanks so much for doing this giveaway, and for offering the discount on the class.
This would be so helpful! Thanks for the contest!
I’ve read her blog and it’s wonderful! I have so many sweaters that are so pretty – just not on me.
I love this book and yarn as a bonus how can you go wrong!
I took Amy’s Fit to Flatter class. I’d love to have the book!
I need help with fitting sweaters and would love to win the contest.
I have been following Amy’s blog for ages– I would love to be entered in the contest. Thank you!
What a cool, funky cover, too.
love the whole fit to flatter thing-and loved taking the class!
Suhweet sweater that Dorica Hoodie!
I am gearing up to try my first sweater 😀 this book would be a great help.
I just learned to knit a little over a year ago….I would LOVE to add this book to my small collection!! PICK ME, PICK ME!!
I would love to knit near that lighthouse! This looks like a really cool book! Can’t wait to see inside.
It’s so hard to find sweaters that look good on me because of my body shape. It would be so nice to just make them myself!
Please! I need a new project to keep my mind off of nursing school for just a bit! This would be just lovely!
Always looking for tips for sweater design.
You have such great give aways. Love your blog and magazine. The hoodie pattern is really cute. I might need to buy that book if I don’t win!
I am not very confident when it comes to knitting something for myself. I am concerned that it will not fit properly. It seems like this book would be a big help and give me the confidence that I am lacking. Thank you for a great contest and a bonus yarn pack. The knitted hoodie is beautiful looking.
I had the privilege of attending Amy’s class at last year’s Knitters Review Retreat. If the book is half as amazing as her class, it is definitely a must have!
Oh, please pick me! I am trying to do a better job of knitting sweaters that fit me.
I NEED this book. Just completed a sweater that turned out 2x too big!
Want the book. Want the hoodie. Can’t stop me cuz I’ll get them both one way or the other. Just sayin’. (Oh, and I’m sure I’ll want the Maine adventure, too.) Awesome giveaway!
What a great giveaway! I keep designing sweaters that are just not quite perfect. I’d love to learn some techniques to make it work! Thanks for the chance, Knitty 🙂
Amy is such a good writer on her blog, and I imagine that the book is even better. I do pretty well with modifying my knitting to fit me, but it would be great to have a reference for sweater shapes for different people.
Please add my name to the pot!
It looks like a winner.
That book sounds wonderful! I have never tried to make a sweater and would hate for it not to fit after all that work. *fingers crossed for the winning ticket*
Definitely could use some help with knitting sweaters that actually fit. First one didn’t work out, and the second is still on the needles.
oh, I want it, I want it, but I am not the only one!
I just signed up for Amy’s class and would love a copy of her book to follow along. I could certainly use help getting my sweaters to fit better.
This book is on my wish list! What a great prize!
oooh oooh – please pick me!
minm
so excited to see amy’s book published!! i’ve loved all the information she’s given us to make better fitting clothes.
This book looks fabulous!
Both the travel and the Knit to Fit sound great – I can only hope!
This is so the book I need!! Pick me up!!! 😀
Can’t wait to see this book – Amy’s stuff is amazing!
What a great giveaway!
I’ve never yet made a sweater that fit. I’d be willing to try again with a book like this.
I would love some help getting my knits to be more flattering, and this book looks likes it’s full of great tips.
Love Andy’s herzogs blog and craftsy class!
what a nice opportunity!
Wow! What a great prize package!
How wonderful would it be to win this!
Ohhh, the disappointment – after so many hours lovingly knitting and anticipating a gorgeous sweater only for it to look good – ON SOMEONE ELSE! To be able to make knits that fit is one thing, but to also be able to make informed choices so those knits will look great when worn is quite another. I am definitely looking forward to a few ME sweaters. Thanks to Amy and Knitty for spreading the passion.
Oooh, I’ve had this book on my Amazon wishlist since December-ish! It looks great!
Looks great!
Great give-away!
Ooooooooh, that is indeed a flattering giveaway! I especially love the blue cardigan. But then again.. it is blue, so how can I not like it?!
What an intriguing book. I’ve already marked the crafty class on my wish list.
Would love to have some help getting my sweaters to fit better!
Knitting anywhere near that spot in Maine sounds just lovely!
I loved the blog series Amy wrote, made a huge difference to the shaping of my sweaters! Would love to develop it further, makes such a difference to how much you want to wear something you’ve put so much work into!
I just started knitting sweaters and would love to have this book and the wonderful yarn!
I would so love to win!
Oh, what a wonderful give-away. I’ve knit sweaters that look ghastly on me – so disappointing!!! Me, please.
I’ve not knitted a sweater or cardi for many years because of fitting – I’ve stuck to gloves and hats and scarves recently, but I’m dying to knit up something more wearable. Please include me in the giveaway.
That looks like a very helpful book. Thanks for this great giveaway!
Yes,please. Could really use this kind of help knitting for myself.
Would love to knit this prize!
What a great giveaway!
My Mom would never buy the materials for me to make a sweater because she believed they never fit and it’s not worth it! I’d love to make one and show her now that it’s possible! I’ve been knitting for a long time now and I really want to make a sweater! This would be great!
Thanks! So hoping to win.
Confession time: I have yet to actually make a sweater, I’ve never seen a pattern I liked enough to buckle down and try.
Someday!
This would be great to win!
The book looks fabulous. Thanks for sharing.
This book looks great!
I got the Craftsy class (though have yet to watch it), but it would be great to have the book as well. Thanks for offering the giveaway!
I’ve always been scared of sweaters, but if I had a great book to show me how to make something fit that could change…
This seems like a helpful book.
What a great give-away! With this book we will all look fabulous!
You’re certainly not the only one who is obsessed with making sweaters that fit. I’ve heard great things about the book so far, it sounds great.
Gorgeous Sweater – I would Love to win!
I need all the help I can get to fit my sweaters. This looks like a lovely book that would help a great deal. Wonderful gift!
Would love to have that book. I like making sweaters but even getter when they fit right.
I’ll need to be on the lookout for this one.
So often we bypass wonderful patterns because we feel the garment won’t be flattering to our bodies, With this book, and a little courage, perhaps those great sweaters can be adapted to fit. Thanks for another wonderful giveaway.
This book looks amazing! (And surely needed…) Thanks for a great give-away!
I not only would like to knit there, I’d love to live there! I have often thought of a house like this, a layer cake or a birdhouse.
I’m taking Amy’s Craftsy class now and she’s delightful and very good at this. It makes total sense and makes me wonder why we don’t “see” so observantly as Amy sees.
cool giveaway
I agree – I love this Book! Thanks for the chance to win.
Ooh, I missed Amy’s giveaway on her blog. I have been intimidated by the idea of knitting a sweater but I’d love to give it a try.
This is a book the jumper I’m knitting now needs!
I can’t wait to get a copy of this book! I think it will be one that is referenced often!
Love it! I haven’t yet gotten a good garment made for myself, and a little help goes a long way 🙂
Oooooh! Nifty prize!
Nifty prize!
Just ordered the book, I love Amy’s designs.
Great prize. Good luck everyone!
What a terrific prize this time!
Would love to make my sweaters fit better! Make them then never wear them!
I’ve heard nothing but good things about Amy H’s book. Am working on Afterlight right now 🙂
I saw this book when some of the designs made it on the “Hot right now” list on Ravelry. Just adorable options to knit. Would love to win the book! My daughter would look so cute in the chosen sweater design in the Berocco yarn giveaway.
I love this book already! Many beautiful projects, I could cast on for at least 6 right now! That Dorica cardigan is definitely at the top of my list for sure!
Would LOVE to win this (sorry for the shouting) 🙂
That Dorica sweater is fantastic. I’m going to add it to the queue and hope I win this drawing. If I don’t I’m going to get the book and make it anyway.
What a lovely book! Thanks for the chance 🙂
I would love to knit a sweater; that is one thing I still have not tried. :-). Would love to win this!
I would love to get my hands on this book! What a fabulous book. It’s going on my wishlist now, thanks!
Oh please oh please! I’m a huge fan of her work!
Looks like a fabo book and the sweater is not too shabby either! 😎
I’m taking her class which is fantastic! Thanks for the opportunity!

this book is awesome – pick me please
Been thinking of taking this class. Book looks fantastic. Thanks for the chance at the giveaway.
Amy rocks!
Would love to win this book/yarn combo.
I would love to win a copy of this book. I definitely have a lot to learn about tailoring my knits.
I could soooooo use that!
Great giveaway, as always! Thanks so much.
wow! pick me, pick me! Knitting to flatter is surely a lot of the point of making your own garments – I’d love this guide.
Book looks terrific!
I never knit anything for me because I cannot get it sized right. I really want this book.
I’ve been waiting for this book to come out and would love a shot at winning a copy! Thank you for offering a contest!
I find that I make sweaters and then I am unhappy with them. And I’m not sure why. I can’t wait to figure it out!
Thank you!
Hmmm, a few days behind and nearly 700 posts! Still, maybe I’ll win! Johnston4kids on rav
Thanks for the chance to win – I’m sure fitting the sweater to me will be less painful than making me fit the sweater!
Love the book and the Dorica sweater.
I would love to win!
This book sounds like just what I need!
I need a flattering sweater!!
Oooh what a great premise for a pattern book! I’d absolutely love a copy of this!
Yes, would love to win that yarn!!
Oooh, what a great book, and just what I need to start making clothes that actually look good on you! Would love to win!
I just gave away the one sweater I ever knit because it didn’t fit right. This book would be perfect.
Enter me, please! I’ll wait until *after* the contest to order this book.
I would love to be able to knit sweaters that fit better! 🙂
I can’t comment on what looks good on me. Therefore, I’m sure I can put this book to use.
Just saw TheKnitGirlls review on this book and it looks fantastic!!
I love Amy’s designs and would love to take her classes.
I am narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, so I need to know how to get a sweater to fit and this sounds like the ticket!
Love the Dorica Hoodie, and all the sweaters on the book cover look gorgeous. Thanks for this great giveaway!
This sounds like a perfect book for me. All the sweater designs are really beautiful. Thanks!
I have only knitted A few sweaters and would love to knit a sweater that fits as well as flatters my pear shaped figure.
I can’t wait to see Amy’s book in real life. I love Amy’s designs and her wonderful approach to fit. She’s right–everyone deserves to wear clothes that make them feel good.
Thanks for the fantastic giveaway opportunity.
Since I knit (and sew) for a family of non-standard size people, this book would fit right into my collection of fit, alterations and adjustment books and articles. If I win the book I promise to read, learn and use the ideas until the pages wear out. (done it before! it counts as praise for the author’s work) the only question would be red yarn for one daughter or blue yarn for the rest of us. Lee
This looks like a really useful book and I love Amy’s designs!
Well, with 700 replies so far I have the proverbial snowball’s chance, but what the heck, you can’t win if you don’t enter! If I had any hope that a sweater might fit me properly, I might actually finish one…
These designs look beautiful!
That hoodie is way cute.
I’ve long admired the Fit-to-Flatter ideas–it’d be fun to have a copy of the book.
I SO want this book! I would love to knit sweaters that really fit me!
Ready to ditch my scrabbled-together f2f notes, blogs, and PDF’s for one gorgeous book.
pick me, ohhh pick me!
I can’t wait to get my hands on this book!
Wowie!! Amy is coming to our LYS in July. I’m really hoping to take her class in person. Would *LOVE* to win a copy of her book!!
I can’t wait to see a copy of this book. Its something that causes so many knitters problems.
Thanks for the chance to win a copy!
Thank you for the chance to win this great book. I’ve long admired Amy and her patterns.
This looks like an amazing book! I could use some help in getting my sweaters to fit better.
I listened to a podcast interview with Amy about this book, and it sounds like a must-have!!
Would love to knit a sweater in Maine.
I’ve only tried to knit a sweater once, but it fit horribly – the sleeves too tight and the body just a big unflattering box. This book looks like just what I need to give sweater projects another chance!
I loved the fit to flatter blog posts — I’m sure the book is just as great!
I’ve been looking at this book since it was a per order on amazon. I’m glad you have it on this site, it makes my decision easier. (Of course I will stii wait until after the contest.)
I have been looking forward to this book!
Looks like a great book and yarn to win, what could be better?
Perfect! Just what I need to help me move my sweater knitting into the next gear, ie the gear that fits me!! Thanks
Oh lovely! Bodies change as we get older, so it will be very helpful to know how to change the old favourite patterns to keep flattering. Or is that flattening?
I would love to have this book!
book looks fabulous!!
I am rather new to knitting and the last two attempts at sweater knitting have been a real challenge for me. This book looks like it might give me the solutions I need to learn to make that perfect sweater!!
That book looks great! Just what I want for my knitted tops (I mostly stick to socks and shawls because I’m scared that things won’t fit.)
As I just, frustratingly, frogged my third attempt at knitting the most easiest of top-down raglan sweaters… I think I might really need this book.
Too beautiful. Hope to win. Kisses and hugs.
Would love a copy of this book – I’ve been eyeing it for a while…
What a great book and yarn giveaway! I am working on my first sweater but this would be a great book for my 2nd and 3rd sweaters.
Thanks for hosting such great givewaway.
Sounds like a great book!
My sweaters always seem to fit a little wonky- maybe this will help!
I’m currently obsessed with being able to knit sweaters that fit predictably. A great giveaway that I’d love to win.
ooohhhh!!! This would be AWESOME!!!
Looks like a wonderful book. And a terrific kit!
I need some flattering!
Book & yarn…maybe I’ll finally have the courage to knit a sweater.
Awesome! I just started knitting sweaters and could really use the advice.
The book and kit look great. And, I have an idea about Maine.
That looks like a valuable resource – fitting clothing is difficult enough but add to that knitting and it’s nearly impossible.
Learning to “knit to fit” is my mission for this year and
I need all the “help” I can get!
Oh my, Ive been wanting this book so badly. I really hope I Win this one.
I love Amy Herzog’s patterns! And I’d be tickled to death if I won it – I had a baby 5 months ago, and nothing fits right anymore. I have no idea what’s flattering now.
Those sweaters look amazing!
I could really use that book!
Thank you for the chance to enter.
Lovely book.
I definitely need this. I need this even if I don’t win!
Awesome book!
I really need to learn about better fit…I rarely knit sweaters as it’s such a huge investment of time, with uncertain fit results…
Pick me! Looks like an awesome book, and will be a great resource.
This book looks so great!
I would love to knit something that fit!
I have never made a full size sweater – This would be a great way to start.
I recently had the pleasure of meeting Amy Herzog. She was patient and gracious under rather difficult circumstances, and a delight to talk with. I would love to win a copy of her book.
I am scared of sweaters for this reason – i think this book could help!
This sweater book would be a huge help! I’ve been very slow to knit something that would take so much yarn and effort, fearing the results would be unsatisfying. Thanks for offering it!
That book looks fantastic. Learning how to knit to my body has easily been one more the more challenging part of my knitting career.
I need this book. I have made so many unflattering things over the years.
Just completed a beautiful sweater and wuld love to learn how to tweek patterns to make them fit me exactly! I will teach all the knitters in our Knitting Club these techniques!
that would be cool to knit something like that! I haven’t knit a sweater/cardigan/hoodie before.
I’m signing up for the classes, but it would be fantastic to have this book. Thanks.
There’s not much better than a great fitting sweater!
What a great giveaway!
I am always leary of knitting my self sweaters because I am afraid of all the time and energy and having it not fit.. This seems like the perfect book for me.
I’ve got broad shoulders, no boobs, regular waist and long arms…needless to say, I need this book!
Wow! This is definitely an incentive to knit something larger than a hat!
This looks like a really great book. I have been hesitating making sweaters because I’m not sure how to customize to fit my body. Thank you for the giveaway!
This book excites me too! I really hope I win, it would be wonderful to easily make sweaters that fit. Thanks for the opportunity!
I would love to know what style would flatter me before I knit something. This book would be a great help.
Just the kind of book I need!
Thanks for having a giveaway, the book looks fantastic!

Kleptomania usually begins in the teens or 20s. By the time patients present themselves to psychiatrists, women are usually in their mid- to late 30s, while men are in their 50s. There have been reports of kleptomaniacs in their late 70s. We don’t know if kleptomania has a genetic component, but some studies suggest that kleptomaniacs have parents or close relatives with substance abuse problems, obsessive-compulsive disorder and/or mood disorders. oakley polarized hijinx sunglasses blue http://www.sunglasses-soaho.org/oakley-polarized-hijinx-sunglasses-blue-p-561.html
I absolutely love the patterns in this book…I usually only like two or three patterns in a book, if I’m lucky. There are at least four that I love here. Dorica, Dancez, Cypress, Coin Cable. I wonder if they are right for my body type?! Hope I win the book and then I will know !
I would love to win this book, it looks awesome. I might just have to buy it!
I need the help this book would provide…Please enter me in the drawing.
Thanks
I would love to receive this book. I have been looking at it as I would like to knit sweaters that are flattering to my body. Also the sweater is one of my favorites in the book.
I love Amy’s patterns and the way she helps you think about what is the most flattering shape for your body.
What a great-looking book! I’d love to get away from knitting mostly lounging sweaters and make something I feel is stylish.
I would love to learn how to make tops that fit! And a sweater’s-worth of yarn? Count me in on this one.
I’m afraid I’m just a knitting newbie, but I do crochet and sew apparel all the time. Would love to learn to knit something that doesn’t come out looking like a moth-eaten afghan! This looks like the book to point me in the right direction! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love Amy’s concept – I’m taking her Craftsy class, and would like to have the book as well. If I don’t win, I’ll buy her book as soon as I can afford it.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I signed up for Amy Herzog’s Craftsy class when she announced it on her blog. After knitting one too many unflattering pullover’s, I’m excited at the prospect of finally knitting something with proper fit.
Sweaters scare me to death — definitely planning on picking up a copy of this book!
I really need that book.

love the sweater and I need this book.
Would love,love, love to have this book. If you do pick my comment please make the skill question easy, as I’ve only been knitting for about 11 months.
A much needed resource book I would love to have.
Loved taking her class – would love the book for forever reference!
Love the hoodie, and I have been looking for a sweater for my DD. This would be perfect.
Cute! A hoodie would be a new addition to my sweater wardrobe.
Looks like a greaet book and sweater. I think I am “hard to fit,” can use good help in making my sweaters fit better.
I could really use this book. I knit so many sweaters for family and have so many odd sizes. What a wonderful book to come out!
I would love to win a copy of this book! It looks like just the thing I need to feel confident knitting a sweater that fits.
Could definitely use help in fitting knit garments! thanks knitty for such a great giveaway!
