I love the pattern for the Flared Lace Smoke Ring – it is so versatile, delicate, becoming, universal, and exquisite!
The votes have been cast and the results are in! Thanks to everyone here for your comments. I hope you enjoyed looking around and reading the comments, too, as much as I did.
I really appreciate the insights into what you especially like and why. The fun thing about this is that there is no wrong answer.
As promised, everyone who entered went into a random drawing for choice of their pattern from the Top 14 Finalists. I am pleased to announce the winner: Rose Fu who has selected Swags of Lace Crescent Scarf as her prize. Congratulations Rose!
It is refreshing to find patterns that are unusual- not the same sweaters and scarfs we see everywhere- keep up being creative
They are all beautiful but I love knitting the more intricate designs.
I love your patterns. I love the tutorials you do each month.
I love love love the no two snowflakes !! So cute and so true, no two are alike 🙂
I love the moebius and have not made one, yet. I am in a cowl group and we are to do a moebius. This is it!
The Flared Lacy Smoke Ring is an eye-catcher…so delicate but versatile around the neck area. All of the patterns are great but cowls and scarves are my focus this year. Thanks!
love lacey knits to wrap & snuggle in :o)
I love the beaded stress ball 🙂
I love both the smoke ring and flames of fall!
I adore the Filigree Lace Ensemble!
I want to make this set for my Mom. Due to illness, Mom lost most of her ‘natural insulation’, and is constantly cold.
Being a petite, dainty lady, the beautiful lace design will definately appeal to her, while keeping her hands and neck warm.
All of Jackie’s designs inspire me to create and knit for myself and my loved ones. She always offers patterns and ideas that delight and amaze.
Thank you, Jackie!
Flames of Fall is gorgeous, but I find the way you used the beads in Bead Skinny Scarf intriguing. They really contribute to the shaping and design of the scarf; they’re not just embellishment. Brava!
I wish I had seen the Smoke Ring before I started another pattern, using some lovely yarn my sister gave me for Christmas … !
I love the lovely Flared Lace Smoke Ring (bought the pattern), but really like the small projects: the leafs, snowflakes, and Christmas trees. No one does them like Jackie!
I was able to narrow down my choices to the “Thinking of You” scarf because it is rich looking and my most favorite is the “Swags of Lace Crescent” because it is a simple touch of class to complete an outfit. Thanks BJ
My favorite is Swags of Lace, but I love them all!
Soft Cables Mobieus is my favorite! I love it!!!!
I purchased the beaded trees pattern year before last and they are so fun to make! They are still one of my favorite patterns 🙂
Wow. These are some nice patterns. I’m particularly interested in the stressball.
I like the flared smoke cowl.
My top two are the Misty Soft Infinity Tube Scarf / Cowl, and the
Flared Lace Smoke Ring.
Thank you so much for offering this contest!
I like Flared Lace Smoke Ring the best!
I’m a beginner knitter the trees looked simple but elegant and I love love snowflakes of all kinds and they look like a challenge to me at this point in my knitting. Thank you
Hard to decide – they are all so lovely!
Swags of Lace crescent shawl is a lovely pattern and can be worn in a number of ways. Shawlettes like these are so versatile and can be worn under a jacket too without being bulky.
I love the Flame Lace Smoke Ring – I have a small amount of cashmere yarn that I could use to make it! I also like the snowflakes – in different colours, they would be ideal for using up small amounts of leftover yarn.

Love the hearts on the scarf !
I just want to congratulate you on another year of amazing patterns, Jackie! I own several of these ‘top 14’ ones, but have only knit one or two …. maybe 2014 is the year! 🙂
I’m on a bit of a colourwork kick at the moment so I’m loving the No Two Alike Snowflakes set.
I love your heart patterns and have done thinking of you #1 above and it was easy and looks beautiful when done. Thanks
Gosh they are all lovely! But I really like the Flared Lace Smoke Ring and the Terzatto Victorian Lace Mitts literally took my breath away!
Love your work, my favorite is “Filigree lace”
I especially like your lace patterns Jackie! Thank you!
So many to choose from….my head is spinning with the possibilities!
What a wonderful world we live in where we have so many choices. Everyone is making very good choices as to their favorite as there is no wrong answer. What a boring world if we all liked the same thing. It is so hard to pick one favorite because all of your patterns are beautiful, but I still have to say the No Two Alike Snowflakes is my favorite.
The “Thinking Of You ” scarf is expressive and original ! Something to give you warm comfort on those times when your missing somebody !
I quite like the Flared Lace Smoke Ring. I’ll be adding it to my queue!
Loved doing the fall leaves scarf. Thinging I wold love the snowflake too.
The Flared Smoke Ring is my favorite, but I like all of the cowls and mobiuses. Mobii ? Whatever. Good idea letting us vote for more than one.
I love the snowflakes.
Thinking of You reminds me of Valentine’s Day. I love your patterns.
Ditto for Flared Lace Smoke Ring – I could wear it all year!

Love beads in anything! They really finish a project.
The Trees and Snowflakes remind me I have to start earlier next year to complete all the gifts I want (love) to make.
The leaves are my favourite – so versatile.
I like to individualise things sometimes and adding n applique leaf or two is one of the ways I do that.
I enjoy receiving your newsletter. Love your creative designs and encouraging approach. The mittens are my favorite with the different designs on the cuffs.
Wow, you have some terrific patterns but I think I like the filigree lace ensemble pattern best, its so hard to choose 😉
Flared Lace Smoke Ring is gorgeous!
Love your patterns, especially those with beads!
The mittens are lovely and the shawl is also very pretty, love the colors. Your work is beautiful.
I love lace. The Flared Lace Smoke Ring is beautiful!
I love your designs and your creative thinking. Each item is prettier than the last! Thank you for your careful and clear directions. The smoke ring is gorgeous, as are so many of them.
I’ve loved the flared smoke ring!
I love your “I Hate to Purl” section since I hate purling.
I love the Terzetto Victorian Lace Mitts.
I love lace and hearts, so Thinking of You is a delight!
I love the Filigree Lace Ensembles so dainty.
Beaded stress ball, looks like something I need to have close by at all times!
Flared Lace Smoke Ring has been on my “to Do” list for some time. It looks so cozy.
I love Flames of Fall. I think it has very graceful and flattering lines.
I love the misty soft infinity scarf!
The bitty trees are my favorite, so clever, but I couldn’t resist choosing a few more as well.
The beaded trees are charming but I probably need the stress ball more! Have never done a beaded knit project but would like to give it a go, something small to start would be perfect vs. making a shawl-size commitment!
Love these designs – it is hard to choose but my first choice was Soft Cables Moebius. The design looks easy and a beautiful knitt
I absolutely adore the Lacyflakes and coming in on a close second would be the Flames of Fall. Love them!
Filigree Lace Ensembles are the prettiest fingerless mittens I have seen. Snowflakes are a very close second though!
I love do many of your designs, and already own the Thinking of you scarf…it is definitely one I’d my favorites…but in second place to that would easily be the Misty Soft Infinity Scarf/Cowl. 🙂
My absolute favourite is Flames of Fall, but I also like Smoke Ring and Filigree Lace Ensembles
The only one I’ve knit (part of) is the leaves (since you shared one of them for the KAL — which I shared with the family as Thanksgiving table decorations and each person took one or more home). But I do love the crescent shawl (with or without beads — I really should become more capable at beading — the only beading I’ve done has been your KALs) and the flames of fall as well.
The smoke ring & mobius scarf are my favorites, they make great gifts!
Love the “thinking of you” scarf
Love the “thinking of you” scarf.
Flames of Fall! Only Jackie writes patterns with such gorgeous details that don’t in any way complicate the pattern. Begin one, and see something incredible unfold from your needles.
I just love heart’s on any thing
The Lace Smoke Ring and Soft Cables Moebius are both elegant looking and interesting knitting. The Lacyflakes snowflakes are beautiful little Christmas fantasies!
Flared Lace Smoke Ring is my favorite
No Two Alike is top for me as well.
I’ve been on a snowflake kick lately. Can’t get enough of ’em!
I love the set for No Two Alike Snowflakes. All of your patterns are fantastic but that one is my favorite.

Thanks for letting us pick favorites! I’ve had the No 2 Alike snowflake set patterns in my to do projects for awhile, and I hope to start them before winter is over.
