November Giveaway Knipmode Winter Special
If you liked my previous winter Knipmode makes you might want to have a go at this giveaway; it’s all coats and jackets and woollens. Like my verdant jacket, these patterns are made for boiled wool/ felt but since you’ll be adding your own seam and hem allowances anyway, you can sew ‘em up like normal (in regular melton or stable sweater knit).
Some awesomely helpful person (not me, I do all my helping in pencil) has written October 2008 on the cover in blue pen. Just to be helpful. And irritating. At the same time (mostly the latter though).
The coats are my favourites but there are some cute jackets, vests and cardigans as well. There’s also a fitted skirt, an A-line skirt, a draped skirt and a whole bunch of accessories. I really like the scarf. It looks like the kind of thing fibre artists sell on Etsy for $80 + shipping (draped artfully over a piece of barn wood on the front page).
I also love the whacky grey hat. Lots of cool makes here for using up scraps and remnants. Probably good for making little bits and pieces for market stalls, fetes and diy sales. I wouldn’t know, I’ve never done one of those.
Patterns are unused, instructions are in Dutch (Google Reader is your friend. A friend that is waaay better at Dutch than it is at either French or German) The rules of entry are here. Giveaway ends 30th November, 2012.
Have at it.

Yes, I’d love to win that! My hand is up! I have Dutch in-laws, so does that help me a little bit?
Hmm must double check with the list randomiser. XD
That grey hat takes my fancy. Count me in!
I have never sewn with Knipmode and would love to! I’m in

I have a bazillion coat patterns, and could live with a gazillion coats in my closet – quite happily! One lovely new one for every miserable grey or cripsily freezing cold day for the 7 months of the year called fall-winter-spring here in the North. And I’ve never laid my hands on a Knipmode ever, so I’d love the chance to sew up a coat from this!
Yes, please! Count me in – that coat/vest in orange looks really interesting.
Oh my gosh, I ADORE that top left jacket!!
I have never sewed from a Knipmode or any pattern not in English so I’d love the chance to give it a try! Plus… the more coats/jackets, the better, I say!!
Lovely, I just bought a few fabrics of boiled wool and looking for some patterns….
Oh…I have just bought some nice wool…that would be so perfect! My Dutch is pretty basic but I know several people who could help me…thanks for the giveaway
Never ever entered a giveaway before (v. choosy) but need warm winter stuff. Know no Dutch or anyone Dutch so will be totally winging it! Also first time I have come across your blog, totally love your red jacket. Also going to download some of those old sewing books. Love that they are so technical! Oh and look through your archives! Here’s to an entertaining evening while kids in bed
thanks X
Wow….these are lovely jackets..and I love, love your red jacket! Why keep it in pieces under the bed for so long? I ask since I love the colour red, love the collar and the shape in general. It’s fab!! I love your give away since it means that I can finally use the boiled wool that I own in my fabric stash and I’ve been wondering what to do with it.
Summer arrived. Then I moved on to other things..
I see some gap-fillers for my late Fall / early Winter wardrobe…. Please add me in–thanks!

You always find an interesting magazine or book to post about. Where can you buy Knipmode online?
Thanks. I’ve covered that here.
Wow, that’s a great issue! All looks so warm and cosy.. Count me in, please
Wow, I absolutely LOVE these jackets! For me, I can never have enough coats since I get so cold in winter.
