Following their fabulous guest post for iMake about cute and fluffy alpacas, I am delighted to announce that the Toft Alpaca Shop are sponsoring our March giveaway! Toft are very kindly giving away not one, not 2 but 5 of their wonderful pattern books. I was lucky enough to review their pattern book, along with some of their wonderful yarn, so I can tell you first-hand that the book is excellent.
To enter the giveaway you need to visit the Toft Alpaca Shop website and check out their knitting kits and ready to wear lines. Leave me a comment on this blog post telling me about an item in either of these 2 ranges that you’d really like to have (if you had an unlimited budget!)
The giveaway will close at the end of March 2012 and I will pick 5 winners at random. I will contact the winners by email so please ensure that your email address is included with your comment. This giveaway is open to all, but please ensure you just enter once. Good luck!
***This giveaway is now closed and the winners were Sarah J, Karen, Laura C, Helena and Jennifer B***
I love this stuff! Most definitely I’d have the Cable Tank Top if I could choose – fab!
I would really love a giant bulb bag kit – I have been coveting them for a while but need to save up enough spare pennies for one. I have a terminally sick dog at the moment so all my money is spent on him and his tablets. Until then I am just window shopping on a regular basis.
I would choose the cabled legwarmer kit – i am coming back to live in Yorkshire after 12 years living in Spain so I think I am going to need extra help to keep my legs warm! thanks
I would love to have the Striped Deck Jumper (Small) kit or the lace cardigan. Everything is so lovely!!!
Ooh! I like a lot of this stuff, but would select the pebble bag kit in steel.
Lovely giveaway! I would cherish the Knee High Lace Socks Kit. Who doesn’t want cozy alpaca socks? They look fun to knit and would keep my toes warm on chilly Canadian winter nights.
Please enter me! What an exciting giveaway!!!
Well, I am in love with the ‘Easy Toggle Hat’ kit. It looks like a pixie hat, and that’s right up my street!!!

I love the big toggle bag kit. I love the giant toggles, I may need to have one…
Ooh, I love the cross-over dress! I love the bags, too
That Knee High Lace Sock kit made me jump up excitedly! I’d just do them as legwarmers, long luxurious legwarmers…cause they look exactly like what I’ve been picturing in my head and need to get knitting on, winter is coming and I like to make sure that my short skirts and leggings are well supported by knitwear.
I’m torn between the Cable V neck sweater and the herringbone blanket. Can I have both? You did say unlimited budget…
Well if I had unlimited budget I would pick the swing vest kit.

http://www.thetoftalpacashop.co.uk/ProductDetails.aspx?AltProdID=BLANKET02 This would have to be my top buy if money was not a problem……I can dream huh? x
The Cable Lace Scarf kit looks very warm and cozy! The alpaca’s are so cute looking.
The Big Bulb Bag is definitely on my wish list along with the beginner jumper even though I’m not a beginner and the Knee High Lace socks. That’s enough to be going on with I think.
Definitely the stripy cushion kit – looks so smart but casual at same time, easy to knit so it’s a project I will finish nice and quickly! Perfect for the afternoon nap on the sofa (if only!)
I would pick the plait hat kit.
I would love to make the striped deck jumper. Really stylish and looks gorgeous.
So many gorgeous items but I would choose the Big Toggle Felt Alpaca Bag if I could
I adore the chunky cabled cape knitting kit. I just wish I had more time to knit as this would be such a great thing to make! Thanks for the giveaway!
OMG the whole site is full of wonderful things! If only I had the money….. One of the first items I would buy would have to be the Long Cable Sweater – how snuggly and cosy does that look!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Oh it’s tricky to choose, but I think I like the Striped Deck Jumper kit the most.
I absolutely adore their pom-poms though! Unfortunately I can’t think of any real use I’d have for them, other than recreating scenes from ‘the trouble with tribbles’.
I think it would have to be the peplum cardigan (large) although it probably wouldn’t look so lovely if I knitted it!
I’d love to have the ribbed cardigan (L) to keep me lovely and warm
I would love the Chunky Sunday Jumper (Medium) if I had an unlimited budget, although I think the halter neck dress is really funky and would look great layered with other garments….I’m not daring enough (or young enough for that matter) to wear it on its own! Great website…love knitting!
It would have to be the Aran Cable Lace Blanket Kit. This looks so beautiful and warm and cosy and I would love to make this for my baby girl
Such gorgeous patterns – would love to try a few! The cable v neck sweater and the moss stitch jacket and so wow!
The Peplum cardigan is it!!!! and then there are all of those wonderful hats… my, oh, my!!!!
Thanks for introducing me to this fabulous site.
Wonderful site with wonderful articles ! My favorites are (there are a few) the big bulb bag, the cross dress and the ribbed cardigan !
I’d love the Tube Cowl SNood Kit – it looks seriously cozy! http://www.thetoftalpacashop.co.uk/ProductDetails.aspx?AltProdID=COWL01
I would love the Knee High Lace Socks kit. Can you imagine how luxurious those would be?? Oh my goodness. In terms of ready to wear, there’s little I wouldn’t do for that Crossover Dress
If money were no object, I would love to make the cable V neck sweater. It is gorgeous!
Ooh, there are so many lovely things on their website! If I had to choose I think it would have to be the Diagonal Cable Cowl Kit. It looks gorgeous!
I fell in love with the fur slippers!!!
I’d love to knit the peplum cardigan…stylish and wearable, perfect.
The long cabled sweater–yum!
Just fell in love with your yarn when visiting stitch and craft show last year.it is so cuddly.i love the striped sweater .mmm
What to choose, what to choose? I think I would go with the Moss Stitch Jacket, something cozy.
Oh goodness, I want it all but if I could have anything I’d go for the Chunky Sunday jumper Kit. It looks like it would knit up in no time at all and look great!
Argh! What difficult choices- so many delicious designs. After much deliberation, and a final choice between the cable cardigan and the cable V neck, I think it would have to be the cable V neck- shape and style with detail.
I’d get the giant bulb felt handbag, or the pompom beanie (really, a beanie, with a famous pom pom!!!), or the cross over dress… unlimited funds, right?
These kits are very special, as is the Alpaca yarn which I know would be wonderful to knit with. The choice is amazing but I love the Herringbone rug most of all. I have always fancied the herringbone stitch since I found the instructions on Pinterest and have been looking for the perfect wool for it. It would make a snuggly blanket to wrap up in on cold winter nights.
The ribbed cardigan in the ready to wear section is lovely.
I’d love the knee high lace socks kit – very cute!
I would love to make the Cable Tank Top.
I’d love the Knee High Lace Socks Kit.
Presuming I can’t actually have an alpaca (they’re so cute) i’d like the plait hat kit.
I love the Striped Deck Jumper!
The knee high lace socks are delicious, mmm alpaca socks
I would *love* a cable tunic kit in fudge. What great patterns, I just wish the sizing was more clear on the website (garment measurements would be a good idea).
unlimited budget? I would want the Striped Deck Jumper kit! I love it
I love alpacas too – so cuuute!
The medium cable tunic. Yummy
So many lovely items to choose from, hmmmm, how to decide. But I think the Big Bulb Alpaca Bag would be a great addition to my bags. Martine, I think you’d rather fancy them as well with the big button:-)
I’d love a pair of the Long Alpaca Country Welly Socks – I get awfully cold feet when I wear my wellies on the allotment!
Renee recently posted..30 Days of Biking – register now!
I would get the chunky cable cape kit! So cozy!
If money were no object I would choose the cable throw and wrap myself up in all that squishyness.
What a nice book.
I really fancied the Emma cushion kit. But the choice was not easy as such a lot of nice items
I want that Union Jack shawl on the home page but can’t find it anywhere on the site
it would remind me of all my podcasting friends across the pond…
I like the wave snood kit. It looks like lovely yarn!
I agree with L Gesin above, the Union Jack shawl/blanket looks fabulous, but I guess that doesn’t count?
I’d love to have the Cable V-neck sweater in the garment knit kit, and the size is perfect for me too! But I can’t justify the price, sadly…
I have the mini bulb bag and LOVE it so I would also love the kit to knit the biggest bag (or the bag itself). The pattern book is also high on my list of things I would like
My friend has this book, & all I can say is ‘it’s just Fabulous’
pebble bag kit in steel for definate i love it!!
i would choose the Striped Baby Blanket Knitting Kit
Unlimited budget? It has to be the Peplum cardigan! But to be honest I would even be happy with an Alpaca Pom-Pom!

Love the giant bulb bag kit!
Herringbone Rug for sure. There are never enough blankets in the house.
It’s a though one. I’d be split between the two kits Beginner Sunday Jumper and the Button Mittens. As Spring has arrived I’d have to choose the jumper! It just looks so awesomely cosy.
looks like a beautifull book

Peplum cardigan– all the Way!!!
After hearing your podcast I was so very happy to find their stall at Olympia last Saturday. Truly drool-inducing!
I would love to have the fudgey yarn and to make the tweed cowl. I did have my eye on a bag kit as well. Let’s face it-what wouldn’t you like!
I am glad you found them after the podcast Lisa – their stalls always look great and I love their products soooo much!
If I had an unlimited budget I would pick the Herringbone Rug kit. With a totally unlimited
budget I would get a kit in each of the three colors!
My favourite stall at the NEC today. Just loved the wool, the bags, the buttons….but especially the super super soft teddy. They were gorgeous!!!!
Hi!
I would choose the Goody Bag Cowl Kit. Thank you for the chance!

Got to be the Jubilee Jumper for me *^_^*
I fell in love with the flower crochet scarf at Unravel. It looked so soft and delicate but was too expensive for me.
I like the bobble legwarmers. I have been wanting to knit a pair of legwarmers. I love these.
Gosh I just love them all, not sure which is my fav, probably a bag.
I keep meaning to get back into crochet, so i’d pick the net and Flower scarf kit
Ooh…for m it’s the pouffe kit!, I love those types of cushions!
What a wonderful prize!
Not really the weather for it, but I love the chunky cable cape – it’s gorgeous.
Toft Alpaca’s yarn is gorgeously soft. I have only used it once to knit a pair of mittens but I would love to knit their large bulb bag. If only money were no object!
Love the Giant Alpaca Fur Teddy – I’m sure my daughters would give him a very happy home.
I love the Aran Cable Lace Blanket Kit. xx
