Aaarghhhh this just keeps getting better. My 5 years of german in school might finally come in useful. Guess it would be expencive though, shipping them all the way over here... your postage budget must decide if I'm allowed to participate...

Helene :)

... and if you want to split them up I'm especially interested in the "kinder" mags...

You are one lucky duck!! Your magazines are very tempting. I'd love to curl up on the couch and leaf through all of them!!

Ooh..."Kinder" mags...just what I need for my daughter.

Wow ... this raffle has brought me out of lurking! What wonderful things. I really enjoy reading your site and hope you have a wonderful holiday season.

ooh this is great : )

Hmm . . . my sister's German abilities could come in handy . . . The magazines look cool!

Ich liebe deutsche Zeitschriften!! I was a German minor in college and rarely get to stretch my abilities. What would be a better way than German knitting magazines!

this would stretch my german abilities! but what fun that would be!

My mother-in-law is from Bochum, Germany. Working on translating these would be a great mother-daughter bonding project...

Okay, so I don't know ANY German, but I love looking through patterns so count me in! P.S. thanks for your note re:Phildar, of course I didn't realize that you had that info on your blog already!

Diana

I love your blogs, especially also your descriptions of travels to Oma and Opa. I am from Germany myself, but live in the US now. I have two boys (3 and 6). It would be great to have German knitting magazines!

I think I know enough German to get by.

European knitting magazines that won't send me running to babelfish for wonky translations! Toll!

Ooh, my husband speaks German and I speak a little.
And my Weasley is done!

I love knitting magazines no matter what the language!

Its so great to see someone who updates nearly everyday!

yup... i love those old world magazines... thanks

You are too kind to give this stuff away! Talk about holiday spirit!!!

I love you blog....

Ooooh, here's crossing my fingers that I'm the lucky one on this raffle. Is there anything better than German knitting mags? (That's a rhetorical question.)

I've been meaning to brush up on my German. This might be the incentive I need. And since I can already knit in French...heh heh. Count me in!

ach du lieber! i've been meaning to work on my german for years, now...

I'd be happy to split this with someone -- I'll send them the Kinder ones, and I'll keep the adult patterns! Thanks for doing this raffle, it's going to be fun!

My first language was German (Unfortunately, I don't speak it anymore). Maybe winning one of these magazines would put me back on track.

I am from Germany, live now in Canada and have three kids. I read your blog every day and love it! Thank you so much!

I can't translate German but it will give my retired father-in-law something to do! They look great! Thanks for the giving spirit!

Thanks for being so generous.

Yes, knitting mags in any language, are good nags by me!!!
Thanks for the contest!

Christmas early! I would love to have one of the Kinder Lea magazines (goodbye housework and kids homework)!

Leslie

I dont want the magazines, but I am highly amused how everybody likes to have them. I am over here in Germnay and starting knitting again I was so bored by all the german magazines, and inspired by the US/ Canadien stuff, that I only knit english patterns right now:)
If anybody needs help with translation of a german pattern I may help, write me an email.

And Alison its very nice to give all the stuff away, i wont subscribe I think postage would be tooooo expensive and isnt sure to arrive. Weeks ago I send some chocolate over the sea and it still isnt delivered :/

Sehr toll!! A chance to practice my German... (or at least look at all the pretty pictures)

I look forward to your updates all of the time! You've got me seriously considering knitting socks now, which is something I thought I'd never do!!! ^_^

so do you know German?
if only my grandma would have lived long enough...I would have spoken German for sure...alas she past away when I was just 3 years old.
At least today, Babelfish can help us out somewhat.

Ooh, I would love to try knitting in German!

Oh, ich, ich, ich! Ich will die!
:-)

Great magazines since i'm from holland.
If anyone in the USA gets them i'm willing to help to translate the pattern.

Greetings ada, netherlands

Me! me me me!~

I'm a Swiss-Canadian Knitter/Artist. Unfortunatelly I only know how to knit from German instructions. Eventhough I've been here in Canada for 17 years and finally am part have been knitting all that time, it's only been from German magazines. Every time I'm off to "good-old-home" I bring something wollen back. I now have a 6 month old son and need some more kids magazines... Also, Alison, falls ich Glueck habe mit dem Gewinn, zahle ich gerne dass porto, oder tausche auch mal gerne mit meinen handgemachten karten (geh mal auf meine webseite kuken...) Tschuessli

This is the first time I've ever left a comment, but I've been reading your blog diligently for weeks and love hearing about your adventures with knitting and the boys!

So....I could learn German.

The owner of my LYS is German!! It's serendipity!!

I don't speak German, but I have friends that do! I'd love to have a look through these mags. Thanks!

they look like great magazines...thanks for the contest!

German knitting mags! They would make great extra credit translation projects for the high school German students.

Those 4 years of high school German & 6 years of living overseas can come in handy at times.

Mich, Mich, Mich! What a lovely give away!

I would love these :D What a great idea!!

Raise hand and hope I win.

This is a great de-stashing Idea. I might have to do the same on my blog. Not sure I've got the readership to support such an extensive giveaway though. :)

Gorgeous. I'm still looking around for a similar pattern on line. I'm worried about what I hear here regarding the pattern...I'm too new to know how to fix it.
What do you think about this pattern:

is that a drop shoulder?
also, check out this...neat page for free patterns:

Oy...I posted my above comment in the wrong place. I'll try again.

i'd love to see these magazines in person, and use my sister's german classes to translate them!

It was during my Junior Year Abroad in Bonn that I started to seriously knit -- in the lecture hall even!
Knitting from the German patterns taught me to always read to the very end of the sentence -- there may be a verb there. You're very generous.

German pattern magazines, especially the kids ones......... drool...

I have a few German friends that could help me out with those great magazines! I do have some German blood in me (along with English, Irish, Scottish, Dutch... basically any people that don't tan well;))
What a great set of items!
