I love the autumn leaves cowl and hat.
I love the Salinas colorway!
I love both the de-Lovely Mitts and Winterlilies Shawl… and the socks in this issue are great too!
I adore this magazine. Thanks for introducing me to it!
My faves are Fall Back (very pretty!) and the Dick Van Dyke cowl and wrist warmers.
love!
oh wow! this is amazing.
my favourite article is the one on reading charts. what a help! i didn’t realize some things were standard. i would love to get a chart making program, too.
i’m also in love with the adorable cover.
aaand my favourite colourway… i’m torn between dove and seaside. green is my go-to, i love it no matter what! but there’s something about that grey….
cheers!
I love the Jera socks
My favorite colorway is the Weathered Copper
I had never seen this magazine before! I am smitten with the De-Lovely Mittens AND the Autumn Leaves Cowl & Hat. I am on a major shawl/cowl/hat kick right now anyways. I am PurlVerde on Ravelry, thanks for the chance to win!
I had also never seen this yarn! Monterey Cyprus is beautiful, green is my favorite color, but I am torn between that and Sea Side. Beautiful!
I think the article about choosing sweater yarn is the most interesting to me. I have yet to make a sweater but I’m tempted to give it a try.
I like the Jera sock pattern, the Argentine Sweater, winter lilies and the tutorial on making knitting charts.

As for color, either Chocolate Souffle or Violet Asters
Thank you, for holding such an awesome giveaway!

So many choices! May favorite article was Chart Making 101. I liked all the socks, the Bolla Bag, and As Sweet as Honey Baby Blanket
I particularly like the Aubergine colorway.

I love the sweet as honey baby blanket. I have a friend that would be very happy to get that as a gift for her grandbaby.

I love the jellyfish mittens
they’d be super cute on my 2 yr old daughter hehe… i also loved the charting article
love that seaside yarn. It really does remind me of the seaside!
As for the colors, I LOVE!!! the Monterey Cypress and the Dove… Beautiful
I loved the article on making charts. I have a pattern I’ve been procrastinating about writing up, and this made it look a lot easier.
I’m NicoleS on Ravelry.
I love the Handwerks Necessary Sock in Walnut.

I hadn’t found this magazine yet thanks for introducing me to it. I love the Winterlilies shawl and the Clover socks. I also loved the Handwerks So soft sock in Asian Pear. Beautiful.

Think I like the mitts the best. They are my current favorite things to knit. But many others attracted my attention, too.
The “Chart Making 101″ article is my favorite –what a great way to get started!

I can’t decide if Seaside or Aubergine is my favorite colorway! They’re both lovely.

I like the Acuminate Cabled Lace Shrug, and —-
De-Lovely jumped out at me first and then the socks (can’t just choose one though.%))
So many lovely colorways of Handwerks. Top 2 picks – Chocolate souffle and Lipstick
I love Knitcircus. My favorite pattern in #11 is the Dickie Van Dyke Cowl and Armwarmers. Thanks for this extra generous giveaway! kt.may12(at)gmail(dot)com.
I think that Milkweed colorway is really lovely and I think it would be extra gorgeous in Handwerks Silky Sock. Thanks again. kt.may12(at)gmail(dot)com.
I like the De-Lovely fingerless mitts pattern. I think “In the Clover” socks are pretty.
Knittingdancer on Ravelry
I love the color of “Misty Morning” in the So Soft Cashmere. I think it would make a lovely pair of the De-Lovely fingerless mitts.
Knittingdancer on Ravelry
I am torn between the Bola Bag and the Tire Tracks sweater – both are awesome. Actually, there are many lovely things in there.

My favourite article is the one on making your own charts, I’ve printed that one off!
Sewsable on Rav
In the yarns I love Chokeberry in So-soft-sock, yummo!
Sewsable on Rav
Since I’m a great one for one skein quick projects, I’d really love to make the De-Lovely wrist warmers. I’m glad I viewed the magazine as it has really grown since I first saw one of their earliest issues. Lots of great articles and appealing patterns.
“Chart Making 101″ and the “Acuminate Cabled Lace Shrug” love cables and the “As Sweet As Honey Blanket” and I love Cat Bordi I have most of her books and use her on-line youtube video’s when Iam knitting very helpful as Iam in The desert on an AFB and no shops close by so I buy and do everything on-line so I love this Magazine:) thankyou for this drawing.Hugs Darcy Rav ID knottyknitter40
darcysknottyknitter{At}gmail(Dot)com
I love Violet Asters and Seaside and The Sumac is gorgeous it is really hard to choose just one color:)Hugs Darcy knottyknitter40

I quite like the De-Lovely mitts and also the Dickie Van Dyke Cowl & Armwarmers. But, given that I’m going to become an aunt for the first time, I really dig Zoom and As Sweet As Honey Baby Blanket.
Sonoran Sunset Silky Sock looks scrumptious as does Satsuma Oranges DK.
I love the As sweet as honey blanket and the warmers.
Got to say that i love the sumac the best.
Happy Blogging!
De-Lovely is de-lovely!
-bookwormdjibouti on Ravelry
And all the colorways of Handwerks are lovely, but the Sock Plus 8 in Berry Pie really stood out.
-bookwormdjibouti on Rav
I fell in love with the pattern for Zoom as soon as I saw it! It would look adorable on my boys!
I checked out Handwerks website and love, Love, LOVE the Chocolate Souffle colorway! It looks so good!
Oh my — I’d never seen this magazine!! I loved In the Clover Socks, your De-Lovely Mitts, Jera socks, your Beachcomber Vest, the Winterlilies shawl and As Sweet as Honey Baby Blanket. Wow! Wow! Wow! I got a subscription!!
And do you have Tonkinese kitties? I am a Tonk lover and have two currently. At max, we had four and last year we lost two of our beloved boys.
I don’t think I’m still recovered from that!
Lovely colorways on the Handewerks site — Tomato Garden, Heathered Copper and Chocolate Souffle are some of my favorites!!
I really liked the article on using word to make charts. I’m such a geek. But I really liked the Jera sock pattern so pretty.
This is a new Magazine to me I love it.
Love the Handiwerks Classic sock colorway Cherry wine and Early morning light All of them are very pretty though!
Love the article on sweater yarn. Very timely for me!
Too hard to choose just one! I like most everything in this issue! But, by enie, menie, meine, mo, I chose the De-Lovely fingerless mitts pattern. Thank you for the chance to enter your giveaway!
Oh I love the Fall Back Pattern. With such strong horizontal lines you can really create different looks by pinning it differently.

Oh I love the Sonoran Sunset colourway in the classic sock yarn.

The winter lilies shawl is my favorite. I am obsessed with the designer and the style of shawl.
My favorite pattern is Stone Henley, because it’s always nice to see a great men’s sweater pattern, and my favorite article is on picking yarn for a sweater.
My favorite from Handwerks is the Foothills DK. Super colorway.
Well, of course your pattern is one of my faves along with the article by Wendy Johnson on chart making. Congrats to you!!!
The article on choosing a sweater yarn was great!
greyowl on ravelry
I also enjoyed the article on picking yarn for a sweater. It’s such a large investment, in $$, time and emotions, it pays to start off on the right foot.
I love the Necessary Sock Weathered Copper colorway at Handwerks, and would love to see it in their other bases as well.
I enjoyed the interview with Cat Borhdi and also the Choose it and Use it – very informative.
Pinot Noir and Weathered Copper were gorgeous, but looking at their website there wasn’t a bad colorway in the bunch.
I most like the Autumn Leaves Hat, 2nd In the Clove Socks. 3rd choice is His & Hers Socks.
Beautiful yarn!
Lots of great sock yarn! I love the Necessary Sock Hidden Cove and Tomato Garden best!
I can’t decide between two patterns! I love the Fall Back cardigan AND I love the Winter Lilies Shawl!
–Alystyn on Ravelry
The Handwerks site is full of beautiful yarn, but what caught my eye the most was the So-Soft Cashmere Violet Asters. BEAUTIFUL!!!
–Alystyn on Ravelry
I think I like Fall Back the best, it’s both interesting and pretty!
jenniem on Rav
I also like Asian Pear and Violet Asters colorways on the Handwerks site.
jenniem on Rav
Winter Lilies is my favourite!!
Tropical Seas closely followed by Ruby are my favourites in the Handwerks colours!!
Now that I have mastered reading comprehension …
I am totally torn between Seaside Silky Sock and Seacliff Sock plus 8. They are very close and both are calling to me.
vox8 @ Ravelry
From the Fall Issue of Knitcircus i loved two pattern the most: S. Tallent pattern De-Lovely and A. Altaras socks Jera. There are lots of other lovely patterns too, ofcourse!
@ Ravelry: SelenaR
and if I choosed the yarn from Handwerks, than it would certanly be : Sonaran Sunset! Such a lovely colour!
@ Ravelry: SelenaR
The article on Chart making is amazing!!
The Aubergine colorway is just lovely!
My favorite pattern is the De-Lovely fingerless mitts. If I knit socks, it would have been the “In the Clover” sock pattern.
I think “Milkweed” colorway in the So Soft Cashmere yarn would make a beautiful pair of the De-Lovely fingerless mitts.
I loved the Choose it and Use it. Excellent issue this time around!
I found the article on choosing the right yarn for a sweater to be very helpful. I’m still a lower case “k” knittter and stuff like that comes in handy. Favorite pattern is the Dickie Van Dyke cowl and armwarmers.
jeighelle on ravelry
The Sonoran Sunset is gorgeous!
The Beachcomber Vest really appeals to me as do the His & Hers Socks! I plan to go back and have a more thourough read of the chartmaking article as well.
Suzie – DeepCreek on Ravelry
So many beautiful colors!! I have actually managed to fondle some Handwerks yars – and knit a pair of socks from Necessary Sock – and can attest that it is lovely. Although there are many contenders – I think my favorite is So-Soft-Sock Night (followed closely by Chokeberry, Milkweed and Misty Morning!) Mmmmmm.
Suzie – DeepCreek on Ravelry
i like the his and hers socks – versatile, wearable, pretty and interesting to knit but not too difficult.
What’s not to love about a publication that has cookie recipies, knitting patterns and sewing patterns. Heaven would be a Celtic Memories bag full of Mmmolasses crinkles!
Love the Felted mittens for the little one. Will need to make a couple of pairs for my chldren.
livin4fishin On Ravelry.
Love the Sonoran Sunset colorway. Reminds me of our desert here in nevada.
Oh, as a confirmed lace nut of course I adore the Winter Lilies pattern. Lace and beads. Yum. And Wendy Johnson’s article Chart Making 101 – exactly what I need!
So many gorgeous yarns! In the silky sock yarn I really love the Salinas colourway. Although I would love to knit some socks from the Pinot Noir necessary sock yarn!
How is it I’ve never heard of this great magazine? Yikes! Hard to choose a favorite pattern, but I think September in Colorado is the one I’d knit first.
Thanks for the chance to win!
sweatergoddess on Ravelry
Also very hard to choose a Handwerks colorway, but So-Soft-Sock in Violet Asters is OMG-gorgeous!
sweatergoddess on Ravelry
I think I am in love with Winter Lilies! And OHH! the As Sweet As Honey Baby Blanket is ADORABLE! I hope you are well and I wish you happy knitting!
While I love your beachcomber sweater, I tend to knit things that are one-size-fits-all. I LOVE the Jera socks. I wish I could download one pattern at a time instead of the entire magazine (yes, I took the survey and said so!).
I like the His and Hers Socks. I keep trying to find a nice pattern for the hubby and this one looks like it might be just the thing.
I love the ‘Winter Lilies’ pattern
I love the yarn shade ‘Lipstick’
Oh, what a generous contest! My favorite pattern is the raspberry mittens, though I’m intrigued by the “coming soon” butterfly mitts.
Favorite colorway – cashemere/Monterey Cyprus!
