Freebie Books!

If you love knitting patterns I've designed, or even if you’ve just knit one, now it can win you a prize!

Each month, beginning November 15th, we will give away a knitting book to one knitter of Liz patterns. These books are “store copies” used as reference books at the LYS, still in excellent condition, and now ready to find a new home with you.

To enter, place a photo of your completed Liz Marino Designs project on the Ravelry "Knitting with Karma" giveaway fan page! It’s that easy! All winners will be chosen at random. Prizes will be shipped to the winner within one week of drawing.

The book for the first drawing is Socks a la Carte by Ruffino, Cade, and the SWTC Staff. I love this book, and have used it many times for knitting socks, slipper socks, and holiday stockings! It’s a must for anyone who loves to knit socks. Enter today!

My Great Joy

The truth is:  I love to teach.  I love it!  It's my favorite thing.  And to teach knitting classes makes it all sublime.  Students are creative, talented, interesting, engaging, friendly...  No two classes are ever the same.  This weekend I taught in a charming town in North Jersey, Ridgewood.  The classes drew students from up to an hour away, and it was an eclectic mix of women.

Unpacking all my stuff, handing out note packets, teaching and discussing, and then packing it all up again all goes by too quickly.  Have you ever noticed how rare it is to meet an unpleasant knitter?  And so, there are always happy and willing hands to help pack and unpack.  All the students help each other.  Strangers become friends in minutes.  I know why I go to knitting conferences and festivals.  What I don't know is why everybody else doesn't.

This weekend, one of these lovely, friendly souls asked me,"Do you have a Ravelry Fan Page?"  I looked around to make sure she meant me.

"Um, no, because I don't think I have any fans!"  I laughed and blushed.  Well, now I'm truly humbled, because she went on and founded one for me!  She calls it the Knitting With Karma Group, named after this blog.  If you're so inclined, join it, and post/link photos of your finished projects.  I'd love to see you what you've made!
