The Achillea Cowl is gorgeous!
I like all of her mitten patterns!!
I love the Achillea Cowl pattern! Cables are my favorite!
Love the Achillea Cowl
LOVE the Raven Mittens!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! The ebook with the mittens is awesome too!
The Zylphia cowl caught my eye immediately. Love playing with lace in scarves and cowls.
I love the “I love Dad” socks
I dig the klahhane socks and the snake in the sweetgrass gloves
I love the Ravens in the Snow mittens. I also love her cable patterns.
I love all of your patterns. Your cabled patterns are unique and pretty to look at!!! I especially like the your Don’t Fence Me In Fingerless glove pattern
I really love the Achillea cowl, and the Ravens in Snow fingerless mittens. The fingerless mittens with the raven design is so steampunk!
I was looking at the different patterns in the store but I couldn’t choose a favorite. I love the intricacies of the patterns. The more challenging the pattern, the better I like it.
The patterns are all so lovely and probably too difficult for me, as a beginner level knitter…and I’m torn between Zylphia Pilots Her Airship and the Beachcomber Vest… ^_^
Love the Achillea Cowl!!
I love the switchback pattern. Would love to see it in a scarf/cowl or even a sweater.
The Adamson Mitts are stunning! They are my favorite!
I love the Achillea Cowl!

Love the don’t fence me in fingerless mittens
I like the Adamson Mitts
Don’t fence me in fingerless gloves.. I love the pattern and the color. Alwways loved winter white. ♥
I love the “Farewell Summer” pattern. The design is very classy! I am a teacher and I could go from work to casual with this sweater.
I really like the Ravens in Snow collection, and have just the right friend to make them for.
So hard to choose from all the lovely patterns but I love the complexity of the cabling, so Achillea Cowl is definitely my favorite. Cables were the sole reason I learned to knit.
Thank you for sharing your love of knitting with us and your designs. I’m a new ‘fan’.
I love lagniappe beaded cuffs & mitts. My daughter is always after me to make some fingerless mitts, and I would like to try beaded knitting.
I love,,,love,,,,the Achillea Cowl…so many options to what to do with it….squares, cowl of course, runner for a table. hat,,,and I am sure can think of more…
I adore the Achillea Cowl. I love cables and this one is gorgeous.
ravens in the snow! I love all things winter and I love birds and you’ve woven together both of my loves in the most beautiful way.
I love her cowl patterens.
Zylphia Cowl – this would be my choice for a favorite pattern. I love cowls and this one is lovely.
Sweet Cicely caught my eye, but everything caught my eye. Simply beautiful designs
I just absolutely love the Lagniappe Beaded Cuffs and Mitts and Achillea Cowl, as well!
I love the Zylphia Pilots Her Airship sweater! I would love to make matching sweaters for myself and my sister!
Hard choice! But I have to go with the Achillea Cowl.
farewell summer hat, love it
I love all the patterns! The Achillea Cowl and the Farewell summer are my favorites
Ravens in Snow but the color change scares me so I’d probably go for the challenge in the Achillea. it’s intricate pattern is wonderfully entwined I love it.
I love your patterns. Your cablework is AMAZING! If I had to pick just one ebook, I’d pick the “For Family and Friends” set. (Really love your mittens,too,)
I love Ravens in Snow.
I love the Byzantine-cowl, love the colors, the design (just love the morrokan’s architectural designs!) love that is reversible (I’m learning this technique now)
Achillea Cowl. Love the pattern
Achillea Cowl is awesome!
!st prize is the Achillea Cowl
2nd prize Klahhane socks
3rd place tie Don’t fence me in & Sw Elegant
I don’t think there’s one pattern of yours that I’m not itching to start!
Thank you for highlighting Stepannie!
I love both the Achillea Cowl and The Ravens in the Snow mittens. I loved seeing her work!
Wow amazing talent. I am a beginner who has only had the courage to try scarves and dish clothes but would love to move on to bigger and nicer things. I am in love with the Achillea Cowl. I just love the beauty of it..
I love the Wrought Iron Beret. I also love the Peacock Cowl. The California Revial Knits eBook would be an awesome prize. One can dream!!!
lmecoll on Ravelry
Oh, this is too easy…I adore Stephannie’s Farewell Summer Cardigan….but I would probably HAVE to knit the matching Farewell Summer Hat to match!!
I love the patterns with Ravens in Snow!
I love everything with cables & patterns. The sample is gorgeous. I’m looking forward to start knitting something with this pattern!
The details to your patterns are what I enjoy – would have to say Achillea Cowl.
They’re all lovely, but I’d like to make myself a sweater, and the Zylphia Pilots Her Airship sweater is gorgeous and unusual– love it. 🙂
Zylphia is beautiful!
Love the Farewell Summer Cardi! All the patterns are gorgeous, though.
The Byzantine Cowl, love the motifs.
wow! Difficult choice, but Don’t Fence Me In might be the winner!
I really like the mitten pattern, Manzanita, I love the cuff so different. Now, the really important part, LOVE the cat(s) in the pics, just beautiful (can you tell I love cats) 😀
Ocotillo mittens
love that cowl pattern … but, then i saw Klahhane Switchbacks Mid-calf Socks! love to knit sox!
I like the Lagniappe Beaded Cuffs & Mitts and all the beaded patterns. I love knitting with beads.
There are so many to love. I think my favorite is the Farewell Summer. I love the stitch pattern.
Hi! Thank you for this give away, I LOVE Stephannie’s Tailgate Mitts Pattern, it would be FUN to learn this!!!
Stephannie’s colorwork and cables are incredible. Hard to choose! The Wrought Socks might be my favorite.
I love the “Farewell Summer” Pattern as it stunning and a perfect addition to anyone’s wardrobe, but mine most of all!!! You have a real talent as some of those fingerless gloves….Oh I really like them too!!!
Gorgeous work!! I like the Achillea Cowl design, but really, so many beautiful patterns to choose from!
Tough pick ! Achillea Cowl. Don’t fence me in is also awesome.
I love the Ravens in the Snow patterns. It’d be a harder choice if I was more into lace and cables.
Because it was great fun to knit, the recipient adores them and my project picture on ravelry got selected as one of the featured images on the pattern page; Don’t Fence Me In fingerless mitts gets my nod for favorite patterns!
Surf’s Up is my favorite!
I love all the patterns, such a nice variety but my favourite one would be the Iron Cardi. I am looking for a pattern for a new cardigan sweater and love all the beautiful panels.
I think my favorite is either Tarte Tatin or Ravens in Snow Fingerless Mitts.
The chic simplicity of the sweater is just so lovely and I always love fingerless mitts in general.
A lot of great patterns!
I like the Sleeping With The Bats fingerless mitts pattern and the Peacock stole pattern.
I like the Applejack cowl
The SweLegant fingerless mitts are so beautiful!
I think I’m already a winner because today I discovered the exceptionally gifted designer Stephannie Tallent! Thank you 🙂 One of my many favourite patterns is Klahhane Switchbacks.
Achillea cowl!
Definately the Raven Mittens!
Love the Achillea Cowl. So beautiful! Neckwear isn’t just for winter. Love to wear them in Autumn & spring too!
So hard to choose one favorite! The Achillea cowl looks wonderful, but would really like to try tailgait mitts .
I pick raven mittens! Gorgeous!
It’s hard to pick, but I’ll go with the Sweet Cicely pullover…beautiful!
both the achilles cowl and the ravens in the snow are great looking patterns….are they good choices for beginner knitters or are they advanced….doesn’t matter…be fun learning them….
It’s hard to choose a favourite, but I really like the beachcomber vest. The low and wide neck is not all that common in other patterns I’ve seen; they seem to mostly be v-necks also. Can we meet her cat, too? Gorgeous!
I am such a fan of Jared Flood’s and his yarns that I’d have to choose the ebook of mittens so I could us the Shelter yarn.
Kathleen
I love achillea cowel pattern! So pretty!
I love the Farewell Summer sweater – thanks for the great giveaway.
farewell summer cardi
I love the Beachcomber’s Vest pattern. I tend to wear vests a lot more than pullovers or cardigans.
The Mysterious Summer Shawl is sooooo elegant!
Beautiful color and really shows the distinct stitches.
i love the peacock cowl, but truly i love all the patterns! so hard to choose!
Love the Achillea!!
I Love Beachcomber Vest it has so many wonderful different fun stitches in it. You are so very talented. Please keep making new patterns.
She is one of my fav designers. My fav pattern, it’s impossible to choose, I do want to try the Achillea Cowl next tho!
The Zylphia cowl or the Achillea.
Though, the Farewell Summer cardi is very nice too.
Love the Zylphiia pilots her Airship. Has lace that I love and shows it in a variety of colors, so I could actually make one in a color I like.
I think the Achillea Cowl is my favorite – there are several nice patterns!
I love the farewell summer cardigan.
I like the Farewell Summer Cardi the best. 🙂
Achillea Cowl and the Beachcomber Vest
I love most of Stephannie Tallents especially the fingerless mitts/mittens. I love the Tailgate Mitts and the Don’t Fence Me In Mitts.
I love the gorgeous details of the Achillea Cowl. The Applejack cowl looks pretty, too, but I think the Achillea wins for my favorite.
All of them are so pretty, but I’m going to have to say Zylphia Pilots Her Airship is my favorite. It is gorgeous!
I love all of the fingerless mits, but if I can only choose one, it would be the De-Lovely. all of the patterns are beautiful.
the Athena cowl. I love the multiple cables
The Byzantine Cowl is my favorite, but the Achillia cowl is a close second.
The Applejack Cowl or Achillea Cowl
I love the fingerless gloves.
fab is the Byzantine cowl!
My favorite pattern by Stephannie is Lagniappe Beaded Cuffs and Mitts!

Manzanita mittens!
I am just learning to knit and crochet and would love to win Stephannie’s book and pattern.
It is too hard to pick one favorite. I like the Achiliea Cowl and Ravens in the Snow fingerless mitts. The problem is hey are all grt! I suppose if I must pick just one, it will be the Achiliea Cowl. The cable work is wonderful; so delicate….and that’s difficult for cables.
I love the 3 styles of mittens in the MITTENS ebook!!!
I love the Achillea Cowl, the color of yarn is beautiful and the intricate design is fantastic. I like the challange of a complicated design to keep me focused on the project..
This was a very difficult decision but I chose the Achillea Cowl. All the designs are gorgeous!
Thanks for this giveaway.
I love her fingerless gloves and mittens!
Goodness – it’s so difficult to decide – they’re all great and I like the Farewell Summer Cardi and the nice Beachcomber Vest styles the best, but I think I would want to tackle the vest project first because the finishing should be easier.
Thank you for this opportunity to win one of your lovely patterns.
Acillea Cowl is my favorite, but like a lot of the mitt patterns too
I like anything with cables
I have always adored your Ravens in Snow mitts. And Holy Cowl, there are so many delightful neckware patterns. But I think my favorite of all is Zylphia Pilots Her Airship!
Hard to choose but I’ll pick Farewell Summer Hat
Farewell Summer cardi
I pick the Beachcomber Vest. Thanks for the giveaway.
My favorite is the applejack cowel.
I love the summer farewell cardi, really fantastic.

Lovely patterns. Favorite – Beachcomber Vest.
I love the Ravens in Snow mittens.
The Lagniappe Beaded Cuffs & Mitts are beautiful! Of course, all of her patterns are beautiful, though!
Thank you for the introduction to some truly creative and unique patterns. Your work is beautiful. I’m a pushover when it comes to all things fingerless mitts and have fallen in love with the Adamson Mitts.

I am I love with the Achiella Cowl. I love the look of cables and lace!

Achillea Cowl! Gorgeous cable pattern!
I love the Achillea Cowl pattern! Cables are my favorite!
Here in Edmonton and in Whitehorse, where my four little grand kids are, we have ravens…lots and lots of them. They can drive you crazy or you can love them. So the raven mittens and half mittens would be a joke on us and another victory for them. Rita Lobe
I love Octillo mittens!! All your patterns are gorgeous though.
I cannot choose between the 3 mitten/fingerless patterns – the manzanita, the ocotillo, and the quercus. All terrific!!!
I love to knit complex designs like the Achillea Cowl is my favorite.
I Love the Farewell to Summer Hat pattern. Very interesting stitch pattern that I haven’t seen before.
I love Stephanie’s Apple Jack Cowl. It speaks of definition and class!
I love the Achillea cowl because of the lovely pattern the beautiful colorse of the yarns.
Achillea Cowl! The stitch is beautiful and I love love love the color!
O my gosh the pattern of The Ravens in the Snow are just like the ones that my grandmother made me 50 years ago. I got teary eyed when I saw then. She was the one who taught me how to knit.. Brought back many memories. I would love to make them.
I love the Josephine fingerless mitts pattern. They are beautiful!
I love the tail gate mits, but it was very hard to choose just one!
Love, love, love the Byzantine cowl!
I love to make beaded fingerless mitts……My favorite is Josephine!!!!

Farewell summer cardi
I love all the fingerless mitts, but the Josephine fingerless mitts are my favorite!!
It’s hard to pick, but Raven’s mittens is my favorite pattern. Favorite photo is the precious cat laying on the lovely socks.
The Achilles cowl. I love cowls and I love lace. This is the perfect combination of both.
Quick! Where are my needles? Got to knit that Achillea Cowl right away!
First time I’ve met you so would be ever so happy to try anyting you’re offering!
Wow! I love ’em all. I’m torn between the autumn nostalgia and the threw ell summer cardi. Since I have a lucious yarn, I guess the cardi wins.
Silly I-pad made mistake, I said the farewell summer cardi!
My favorite pattern is the ethereal Achillea Cowl.
I love them all, so hard to pick just one favorite.
I guess Zylphia Pilots Her Airship sweater.
Ravens in Snow. They are exquisite.
Achillea Cowl is beautiful. I love cables and am currently knitting a lace shawl. I never thought about combining the 2 techniques.
Love the Farewell Summer Cardi
I love the manzanita mitten and fingerless glove pattern!
I loved your Farewell Summer cardigan and the mitten ebook. The cardigan is just perfect for this time of year.
I really love the Achillea Cowl!
I really had a hard time choosing but I’m going to say, “Don’t Fench Me In” fingerless gloves is my favorite. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Am always wanting to learn something new. Trying to master Continental Knitting so I can try 2 color pattern knitting.
Ok, I had a hard time choosing between the beachcomber vest & the farewell summer cardigan – but I found a tie breaker: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR CAT!!!! 😀 He or She and is he or she a blue point? I have a seal point and love her to death! 😀 Sorry, I do love your patterns, but I think I love your cat more 😉 Only fitting, I guess! (inanimate objects are for yelling at, right? o.O)
The cats are Tonkinese, platinum mink (Obi & Meggie) or platinum solid (Cali). Obi was in most of the pics. He was a wonderful kitty. (We still have Cali, his brother, and Meggie, their mom.)
I really like the Achillea Cowl.
Ravens In Snow flottir vettlingar
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Tarte Tatin V neck vest. What a beautiful motif on it.
The beaded cuffs and mitts are beautiful.
I love the Achilea cowl. Cowls are my new favorite thing to knit and would like to knit this one.
I adore Achillea Cowl! I love all the other designs, too, but I like challenging cables the best!
What a difficult task choosing one pattern when you like so many. The Tiles sweater would be one of my choices.n
I love the Farewell Summer Cardi pattern. It is really beautiful!
It is hard to pick one but Tarte Tatin
I like the Byzantine Cowl. The colorwork is gorgeous.
I was particularly drawn to the Lagniappe Beaded Cuffs & Mitts. I’m doing a cardigan now that has some beads in the pattern. This would be a nice match. Stephannie’s patterns are so beautiful. Thank you for introducing me to her.
Love the Farewell Summer Cowl.
ravens in the snow gets 1000 Internets.. nice!
your fingerless gloves are #1
I was drawn to the Quercus mittens because I, too, am a lover of oak trees.
Ooh, beading! How pretty are the Lagniappe Beaded Cuffs & Mitts.
Of course, I’m going to have to go ahead and get the beachcomber vest right now so. . . .
“Love you Mom” as much as I love knitting with my Korat, Fredo!!!
“Love you Mom” as much as knitting with my Korat, Fredo!!
“Love you Mom” as much as knitting with my Korat, Fredo!
I love your Zylphia pilots her airship pattern.
Achilles Cowl is beautiful!
Hard to pick a favorite from so many beautiful designs, but I’d have to say the Byzantine Cowl is my favorite. Love the intricate design on both sides, as well as the color combo chosen 😉
Holy moley… how to choose! But if I had to: Achillea Cowl. Yowza!
How to choose… But if I had to Achillea Cowl would be the one. Yowza
….all the patterns are too beautiful to choose!
The “Tiles” pullover is gorgeous!!! There are SO MANY other patterns I am drawn to…
I simply LOVE “Simone” as well!!!!!
Josephine! My hands are always cold!
These cover ups are so pretty!!
I love Josephine!
I am new to knitting – just started last year, basically have done some fingerless gloves, dishcloths and socks. I have not done any cable work as of yet, but with looking at Stephannie’s beautiful patterns feel a shimmer of bravery in trying my hand, I love them all so if I should win, I would be happy with any pattern I would received. I’m book marking her page so I can return again, my eye was really drawn to the Manzanita mittens and fingerless cloves and Dave finally gets his “socks” Could I really make something as wonderful? I am thinking Dave’s sock pattern maybe something I would like to try for my Father for Christmas.
Lagniappe Beaded Cuffs & Mitts are my favorite.
I work with kids so I’ve got a thing for fingerless mittens, they keep the fingers free to tie shoes and the like. All the ones shown are quite lovely but the Tailgate Mittens look just right. I can also say these patterns have me wanting to pick up a few new stitches.
The Ravens in Snow fingerless Mitts are my favorites! I have knitted the Pt. Reyes mitts already and gave them to a friend who loves them.
All your patterns are really lovely!
They’re all so nice, but I’d have to choose the Beachcomber Vest as my favorite pattern!
Gorgeous patterns. I cannot wait to get it started! Like, love and share!
Farewell Summer cardi is stunning. Thank you so very much.
My favourite pattern is the Aran Lace Cowl. The pattern is quite similar to the Carrickmacross Lace Technique.
The farewell summer hat is really nice! Thanks for the chance to win.
Ravens in the snow mittens. Gorgeous design!
love the achillea cowl, that would be first pick, with the farewell summer cardi a really close second.
All of her patterns are just beautiful! The Achillea-cowl is to DIE for! The family and friends e book looks to be very fun!! She is one talented lady! Thanks for the chance to win one of these amazing patterns! I never win anything so I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
My favorite is the Achillea cowl!
very hard, so many great items but finally, Manzanita. I love mittens & really like the cuff
They are all so amazing it is so hard to decide!!!! I am a sucker for cowls so I think I will have to say the Byzantine Cowl!.. LOOOVE it!!
I love cables, so it would have to be Achillea cowl
I like the Wrought Socks.
I love the Lagniappe Beaded Cuffs and Mitts. It truly does provide “all you pay for and just a little bit more” —-well actually a LOT more with the number of additional styles from which to choose. The picot edges are beautiful without being cutesy, and the bead work is fab!
I love to try new cables.
I love the Klahhane switchbacks. Makes me want to try knitting socks.
I love the farewell summer hat.
I love the Achillea Cowl! I think my niece would really love this and I would have sooooo much fun making it for her:)
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with her work, but I absolutely LOVE this pattern and I would love to get a chance to learn more of her work.
Her mittens!!
I love the Achillea Cowl!
I am thrilled to find these awesome patterns! It was very hard to choose just one, but I finally decided on Ravens in the Snow because I grew up in Baltimore, Md., reading Edgar Allen Poe – so I love ravens!
I love her Byzentine cowl!
Love the Peacock and Ravens in Snow patterns, and the Beachcomber vest looks very flattering!
I love her mitten book – especially the Ocotillo style – love the cuff:)!!
Hi,
My fav Stephannie Tallent patten is:
Zylphia Pilots Her Airship. I think the shaping would fit me well and I find the patterns interesting. My second fav is Achillea cowl. interesting mix of cable and lace.
Julie
My favorite is the Lagniappe beaded cuffs and mitts because I am eager to try beaded knitting and the projects are small enough to introduce me to this technique and still result in lovely, functional accessories.
I LOVE the Josephine fingerless gloves. They are beautiful.
So many great comments! 🙂
I love your designs! If I were choosing one to work up as a gift it would have to be the fingerless ravens in the snow. My friend from Alaska loves black birds. But, for me it would have to be the Achillea cowl. What a beautiful lace pattern! Congrats on all your designs.
The cable and lace Alecia cowl- especially in that great green!
They are all lovely…..but I really love the beachcomber vest
I like “Emily prefers to Flounce”, simply awesome…..and the peacock cowl & mittens would be a spectacular set! You are very talented Ms. Tallent- Thank you for sharing!
I love the zylphia cowl!
I’m new to your sight and look forward to receiving your letters and going through the patterns you send.
..
I love the Ravens in the Snow mitts and fingerless.They are my faves. But I also love Kelpie,
Pt Reyes Mitts in Wool, Stairsteps Tam and Achillea Cowl! 🙂
When I looked at her Ravelry shop, I immediately had my eyes on the cowls. It’s a tie between Achillea and Byzantine. While Achillea has very lovely textures and yarn scruff, Byzantine has a detailed motif and a vibrant color scheme. Both uniquely different but equally gorgeous!
For certain, my favorite pattern is: Farewell Summer Cardi. I LOVE making cardigans and this fills a “gap” in the ones usually available… with the short sleeves, and the folded back collar, it is truly a cardigan for moving from one season into the next. The yarn color choice on the one shown with the pattern is exquisite!
Oh, it’s the Beachcomber vest for sure!
Got to love the De-Lovely fingerless mitts
I like the Manzanita Mittens.
Mittens! EBook – especially the “Quercus “
The Klahhane Switchbacks look like a wonderful pattern – I seem to be really into socks these days!
Love the Zylphia Cowl…
I LOVE the Achillea Cowl! Even if I don’t win, that is going on my wish list!
The Ravens in Snow fingerless mitts
Dave finally gets his… Socks ( as I happily knit shawls, cowls, etc for friends, my husband continues to patiently wait for socks.)
I love Ocotillo hand warmers. Hope I win!
LOVE the Applejack Cowl! It looks like it would be interesting to do. 🙂
I love the Beachcomber Vest – the shoulders are wide enough to wear as a tank top instead of a vest, too. Absolutely love the lacy cables – there’s no other design like it!
I love the Ravens in the Snow mitts – but seriously all the patterns are appealing!
So many lovely items, so hard to choose a top favorite. I kept going back to the picture of Sw’Elegant fingerless glove though, so I think that’s my top favorite. Thank you for the great contest!
The Tiles Pullover is just gorgeous!
I love Aidez Fitted cable cardigan the best I also like the hot water bottle cozy lovely. out of your recent patterns I must say I like the farewell summer cardi and love the mittens. would like to start knitting now thanks Stephanie, im a new fan keep up the great work. god bless
