My pattern in Reclaimed is Thick Chill, and here's the deets:
Yarn Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Bulky; 4 hanks
Gauge 9 stitches and 14 rows = 4 inches in stockinette
Needle Size US 15 / 10.0 mm
Yardage 548 yards / 501 m
Size one size; 25" tall, 33" around
Because of that gauge, it's a quick knit. Something fun and functional, a piece that's great for gifting (and pretty great for keeping, too!) Big hoods/cowls like this are my favourite cold-weather accessory!
You can check Thick Chill out on ravelry here.
You can buy the pattern individually for $4.99 here.
There's the option of buying with the yarn in a kit, and getting yourself all 15 of the beautiful patterns in Reclaimed in ebook or hardcopy form.
But that's not why you're here! You're here because I'm hosting a giveaway.

Hats! I love making hats of every type, but especially beanies. I probably have fifty floating around my house.
I love knitting mitten-gloves for winter :)
I would say I love knitting cozy mittens during the winter. Last year though, my wool, cabled hot water bottle cover was a hit!
gauntlets gauntlets here and there, gauntlets gauntlets everywhere.
Hats win by default. I have the pattern pretty well memorized and I can whip out a bunch before Christmas.

I live in Vancouver, so fingerless mitts are usually enough to warm up when it's chilly. They're such a fun knit, useful to wear, and a great way to try new stitch patterns. I'm also a bit addicted to knitting cowls. Congratulations on Reclaimed and thanks for the giveaway!
thick scarves and cowls. They keep the chill away when its cold out both while knitting them and while wearing them!
I love to knit cowls/infinity scarves. I wear them all the time. Lovely pattern and yarn!
Fingerless mitts. Thanks!
Given the number I've knit over the past couple of years (15+)I'm going for neckwear, especially cowls. Youra looks lovely and snuggly!
I love cowls and hats. I have way too many, I should really hold back a bit, but I can't help it.
Fingerless mitts and scarves :)
Hats! I am a new knitter and a hat is my next project. I love this cowl. It looks so warm, comfy and easy! pick me, pick me!
I've always been a hat knitter, and I still love them. But lately I've been on a shawl and infinity scarf kick.
I like hats too. So quick to knit and sooo many styles!
Cowls. They're perfect for showcasing a really awesome yarn, or a fabulous stitch pattern. They don't very long to knit (read instant gratification), and they're genuinely useful. I want to knit ALL THE COWLS!

I love socks, but my fav is thick, warm, cozy cowls. absolutely love the pattern and thanks for the opportunity, I love Knit Picks work!
I like to get ready for the cold weather knitting sweaters :)
I pretty much rotate between hats and scarves/cowls during winter.
Scarves are my favourite cold weather accessory to knit. They are great for trying out different types and colours of yarns.
I love a good cowl, but my favourite thing to knit is mitts! Always with cables and always with cozy fuzzy yarn like alpaca.
I love knitting hats, but I don't generally wear them! I do love knitting and wearing cowls.
I like knitting hats - so many different options (knittingpessimist on ravelry)
I like to knit hats and cowls. I find them more interesting and quicker to knit than run-of-the-mill scarves.
For the last while, I've really been on a sweater kick. However, I do love some of the dresses in the Reclaimed collection and might want to try one for the first time.
I love knitting mitts and cowls as well as hats.You can never have enough knitted lovelies to chase away the winter chill :)
I love making hats and cowls....and mittens!
Thick Cushy Accessories: they're warm, quick and great gifts.
I love cowls!
Usually hats are my go-to's but I've decided this is the winter of the mitten around here. : )
I love infinity scarves!! They are my favorite to make. In thick, chunky yarns.
Favourite wintery garment to knit is scarves, can be easy and fun and mindless and colour combinations are endless!
I love knitting toques! I like that I can make them the right length to cover my cold ears and just the right size for my (slightly small) head :)
I would have to say either an Afghan or cowl!!!
I love to knit thrummed mittens and armwarmers
I love knitting slippers, and sometimes I through a hat in the mix as well.
Definitely hats. So many options! Love em.

Like everyone else, I am cowl-obsessed at the moment. The chunkier, the better!
Mittens are my favourite - so many options.
I love Cowls, but honestly anything in wool or alpaca will make me happy!
So Cute! I'd love to win!
I love knitting and crochet winter accessories! And your fashions are #1. Love, Love, Love.
