Namely, I have no opinion, and Allyson has strong, passionate opinions! So when she hinted that she was working on a baseball-themed projet, I was super excited to see what she would come up with!
Allyson's new e-book from Knit Picks, Vintage-Inspired Baseball Knits, is every vintage, sports-loving knitter's dream. Or even if you're just a fan of A League of Their Own, you'll love one of the six patterns, all knit up in Knit Picks yarn.
My favorite is the Harnett Tank, a striped, racerback tank that can be worked in your team's colors. This is a versatile top that can be layered (like above), or worn solo when temperatures start warming up.
The Georgia Peach is a structured jacket closely based on vintage baseball sweaters worn 100 years ago. Allyson has provided charts to embellish the sweater with your team's logo, but I just love it for the shawl collar and toggle buttons.
And this little guy is too cute to not mention: Baby Babe Ruth is totally getting knit for the next baby boy I see. How cute are the little footies?
These are just half of the patterns in Vintage-Inspired Baseball Knits, available as an e-book (6 patterns for $9.99 or individual patterns for $4.99 each) on Knit Picks now.
Allyson has generously offered to giveaway a pattern of your choice to a lucky reader! So please leave a comment and tell me which of the adorable baseball-themed patterns you'd love to knit, and I'll choose one winner.
Just leave a comment with your name, email address and favorite pattern anytime between now and next Wednesday, February 27th, when I'll announce the winner.

I've been thinking about the Georgia Peach ever since I saw the preview pics for the pattern... It would be great for our chilly home openers here in Minnesota.
