Check out the meter at the bottom of this blog page -- it will hit the 200,000 mark today! Either a lot of people have been reading this blog or a few people are visiting the site an astronomical number of times. I prefer to believe the former.
Those of you who have been following for a while know what this kind of milestone brings -- another raffle for the print copy of one of my books.
Respond to this post and tell me which book you'd like (sorry, the upcoming Scarf Style 2 is not eligible -- it won't be available until this summer) and why (it helps me know what appeals to readers). I'll use a random number generator to draw a winner Wednesday morning. I'll then post the winner on a separate post. If I don't hear back from the winner within three days, I'll draw another winner, and so on.
Good luck!

What a great milestone!
Should I be lucky, I would love a copy of Sock Knitting Master Class. I love the idea of a book that will give me the basics and beyond then encourage me to expand and design my own. Socks are always so much fun to knit.
I would love Fetting Started Knitting Socks!
Amazing! We're all reading your blog because its just that :) I would love Sock Knitting Master Class because there's so much more I need to learn!
Thank you for this generous offer!
Congratulations on 200,000 -
Since I already have all of your "Handy" books, next on my wish list is the Sock Knitting Master Class. I've checked it out of the library twice so far.
Congratulations! Sock Knitting Master Class has been on my wishlist for a long time.
Enjoy reading your blog and getting good ideas from it. I think you have so many followers because you have good practical advice, and I always enjoy the personal look into your life. have some of your books, but would enjoy the Top Down Sweaters because the one top down pattern I made turned out so well and I would like to do more of them.

Congratulations! I'd love a copy of Handy Book of Top-Down Sweaters.
Since I have many of the others in print editions, I'd like a copy of Simple Style. (If you were giving away ebooks, my answer would be different!)
I am one of your readers, so congratulations. I have several of your books, but not Simple Style. That would be lovely to win.
Congrats! I'd love Knitter's Handy Book of Top-Down Sweaters.
I have several of your books in my library but who would ever turn down another Ann Budd book?!?!
I would definitely want Sock Knitting Master Class, I knit a lot of socks and colorwork and cables but combining all of them is something I have yet to do and I tend to stick to my sock toe and heel formula, this would make me expand!
Congrats on this milestone!
I'd love to have a copy of the top-down sweater book. Thanks for the generous giveaway!
I'd love to win Sock Knitting Master Class, I love knitting socks! (I'm WordLily on Rav)
Congratulations! I love your blog and your patterns! Of course I would love the Sock Knitting Master Class, since I am a sock knitting addict!
Congratulations!! I would also love to have Sock Knitting Master Class...it seems to be a popular choice. =)
I would love the Handy Book of Top Down Sweaters to complete my "Handy Collection."
That's a big number! Congrats. I'd love to own Simple Style.
Congratulations! I know lots of people are reading the blog! I would love a copy of The Knitter's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns. It is in my Amazon cart, but cannot make the purchase now.
Thank you for the give away.

Since I have your others, it would be Handy book of Top Down Sweaters. thank you so much for all your inspiration!
I would love to win a copy of Simple Style. I love the cover sweater. Great colors.
Congratulations on this great milestone! And since you asked, I would choose a copy of your Sock master class book. Thanks!
Congratulations on your milestone! I visit your site often, but don't comment a lot; I bet many others do the same.
If I had to choose one of your books, I would pick "The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns". I take it out of the library all the time because it has so many basic, but well-thought-out designs. I'm not big on "fashion" knits because they go out of style so quickly. And, although I'm not math phobic, I have to love a book that does the calculating for me.
I have been visiting your blog for a while now and enjoy reading what you're up to. I have three of your books but I would love a copy of Knitted Gifts.
What an accomplishment. I have enjoyed you blog for a long time. If I win I would like a copy of the Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns. Thanks for sharing your knitting.
So love your blog! Congrats! Sockaholic that I am, would love Sock Knitting Master Class if lucky enough to win. Enjoy the day and thanks.
Congratulations! I would definitely recommend your blog to other knitters. I've got your beginner sock book and the first Handy book, so I'd love to win a copy of the Top Down patterns. Thanks for all you do!
Congratulations on the milestone! The top down book of sweaters would be my choice--but it is a tough choice!
Congratulations! I have all your books -- just wanted to add my voice to the chorus.
Handy Book of Top-down Sweaters would be MY choice to celebrate this milestone with you. Congrats!
Going to try this again. Congratulations on such an impressive milestone!
I am going to put my name in for Sock Knitting Master Class. Thanks for a chance!

Sock Knitting Master Class for me too. I have, and love almost all your other books.
I would love a copy of "Handy Book of Patterns". It would complete my trifecta!
I would love a copy of your Top Down Sweater Knitting book. It would be great to use for stash knitting, as sleeves and length could be adjusted according to the amount of yarn. Much of my stash was bought for some "future" project, mostly because I liked the color or feel of the yarn.
I would love a copy of the handy book of top down sweaters.it is at the top of my list! Congratulations on your blog milestone!
I've only been knitting for three months and just discovered your blog after buying your basic sock knitting book and knitting my first pair of socks! I've heard good things about The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns, and would love to learn from it. Congratulations on your blog milestone!
I would love a copy of The Knitter's Handy Book of Sweaters. I love your other "handy" books so would love to add this to the collection.
Congratulations on another milestone! I have all of your books except Knitting Green!
Congrats!!! This is wonderful. I am not sure if my earlier post was posted so I write again. I am not a blogger and this is the only one I joined. I wanted to ask Ann a question so I joined. I have enjoyed reading. Thank you.
Congratulations!!!!!
Thanks to you I finally caught on to sock knitting. I love your books, and now your blog.
I would love tour book: Simple Style.
Thanks!

Congrats Ann!
I would be honored to win your Knitter's Handy Book of Top-Down Sweaters. I've yet to make a sweater that I truly love and I think your book would inspire and help me to do that.
Thank you for the opportunity to win it! =)

Thanks for the generous offer. Since I haven't had a chance to take your class on casting on and binding off, I'd like that book if I am the lucky winner.

Happy Spring everyone!

I would like the Top Down Sweaters book. This is my favorite construction and I'm not sure why I haven't gotten around to buying the book yet. I can always learn something new.

Congratulations! This is a really big milestone! Your Top-Down Sweater book looks amazing! I've never tried to do a sweater that way, but it sounds really cool!
Seems like you are flying by the milestones. That being said, I would love to get a copy of Knitter's Handy Book of Top-Down Sweaters:
Basic Designs in Multiple Sizes and Gauges. I have a few of your books, and that one would give me a fairly comprehensive, multiple size multiple gauge library!
Oh so hard to choose Sock Knitting Master Class or Top Down Sweaters! Ok if I had to choose just one ....ummmm... It would be...ummm... Flipping a coin....and it's heads....so Sock Knitting Master Class wins!
I would love a copy of the Handy Book of Sweater Patterns. As a handspinner, I have been going back to more basic shapes and designs and the Handy Book is a must
Congratulations on hitting 200,000. I love your Sock Knitting Masters Class and I would love to have Favorite Socks to go with it n
Wow that is a big number!
Much deserved with all the gorgeous projects and little hints you show.
Any book you say? Ok Top down sweaters then. I haven't tried knitting that way yet.
Thanks for letting us celebrate with you.
Congratulations Ann.
If I win I would like a copy of Simple Style. I have been trying out a lot of new techniques in the last year and would like to knit something simple and classic.
Congratulations on the milestone! I would just love the Knitter's Handy Book of Top Down Sweaters!
