About the Designers

tif neilan

Hi, I’m Tif! I am a knitwear designer & Interior Designer based in New England. I live in CT with my husband, two daughters and two labrador retrievers :)
When I am not knitting, I am most often horseback riding or at the barn loving on Lola (my heart-horse). I come from an Interior Design background (studied Interior Design in college - Bachelor of Science from Drexel University in Philadelphia) and although designing interior spaces is notably different from apparel design, there are also so many similarities! I think that my approach to knitwear design mimics how I also approach designing an interior space in regard to distribution of color / pattern / texture. I love the visual interest from textural stitch patterns (such as herringbone - my favorite) and enjoy intermixing those details with something simplistic, to balance the visual. I strive to design patterns that can keep the knitter engaged from start to end, without necessarily being difficult. My favorite colors are definitely grey and green, but I also really love pinks, rust-orange, yellows and navy blue. I view hand-knitting much like painting. The pattern is your canvas and you are given the opportunity to create the art piece you want! Handknitting allows us to express ourselves without words and I think that’s a beautiful thing. i also recently started my own interior design business! you can find me on instagram @tifneilan_handknits or check out my work on ravelry here.

kate oates

I am a knitting pattern designer and author with over 300 individual designs and several books: grown, knits for boys and knitting clothes kids love. under the Kate oates line, i create modern and stylish knits for adults. her other line, tot toppers, features whimsically wearable garments and accessories for babies and children. I think I am primarily known for her attention to detail & fit, extensive size ranges and providing a multitude of options within her patterns. I am also a passionate, organized teacher especially when it comes to to enabling knitters to create garments that fit and flatter. i also opened a boutique last year with tons of knitting goodies, samples, kits and self-care items. Click here to visit the katy lin boutique. You can check me out on instagram: @kateoatesdesign for my work on adult garments and accessories, @tottoppers for my kid-stuff and more family-oriented posts and @rosyknitter for my gardening obsession. in my non-knitting life, i earned a phd in political science from the university of florida—while it doesn’t seem directly related to knitwear design, I like to think that the drive, determination and math required to achieve my degree is something I practice every day running a small business. i live with my family in south carolina, which includes hubby ryan (we just celebrated our 19th anniversary on February 26!), boys jesse, charlie, oliver & eliot (4 very handsome tot toppers models) & sweet doggie hazel. you might also see the oates crew at a clemson football game. go tigers!  visit my ravelry designer page here.

 

How to Play the Game

Hint: If you’ve played with me in the past, the process is pretty much the same! reminder: cards go on sale March 7
This post is filled with all the detailed information you could possibly want, but if you still have questions, e-mail us at knitbingo@gmail.com.

critically important: If you do not receive your confirmation PDF after checkout, something happened and we want to fix it sooner rather than later as no confirmation = no pattern delivery! your spam filter might have decided to spew hate on us, or you might have accidentally mistyped your e-mail address. e-mail us asap so we can figure it out before the game begins.

  1. Getting prepared. Click here starting March 7 to purchase your Bingo card and receive daily pattern deliveries. after purchase, look for an e-mail from help@kateoatesdesign.com which will include a link to download your confirmation PDF with further instructions. If you place your order prior to march 30, 2024, you’ll receive your randomized, individual card prior to the first pattern delivery. If you register after that time, you’ll receive your card within 24 hours. don’t worry if you miss a pattern or two at the beginning as we will absolutely get you caught up and no one can score a bingo in 2 days 🧶. If you would like to participate in the game, but aren’t able to purchase a card at this time, you can e-mail us to request a card without pattern delivery. we will be delighted to have you play the game and be eligible for prizes, Don’t be shy about asking, ok? we want our game to be accessible to all.

  2. Playtime. From april 1- 25, you’ll be receiving a surprise knitting pattern (or two) in your inbox! This is really what Knit Bingo is all about, as these patterns are valued at over $250 total, and you’re getting them for less than $2 each = win-win. Each pattern will have a corresponding number which you will cross out on your card each day. Patterns will be sent by 5pm EDT/2pm PDT. We serve a variety of time zones, so this allows us to adjust the timing so that no one knows exactly when to expect it. we don’t want our east coasters to always have an advantage over those in later zones so the timing of your delivery will vary just like the patterns do! by all means, if you have not received your daily pattern by the deadline, contact us so we can sort you out.

  3. Winning. In our game, BINGO is 5 numbers crossed off in a row either vertically, horizontally or diagonally. As soon as you have a Bingo, e-mail us with the photo or screenshot of it! You must include that photo or screenshot of your card showing your winning line. Because we award prizes in the order they are received, you are not declared a winner until we are able to verify that you do have a BINGO by cross checking our numbers with your card! We gave a lot of thought to this, but since we go by the order emails are received and it does take a moment to take the photo, attach and send, we feel it would be unfair to “count” emails that don’t include all the information needed right front the start. If you do send us a note without the photo, you aren’t disqualified, but you’ll want to resend ASAP with your proof.

  4. If you are one of the first 15 knitters to share your Bingo with us, you are eligible for a prize! when you win, you will get to choose the prize that you are most excited about from our list. The list will get smaller as each prize is claimed. we aren’t going to say exactly how many prizes we have right now 🙃 but there are at least 15, more than ever before!

  5. Bingo will continue through april 25, even if/when all prizes have been claimed. once all prizes are claimed, our note will remind you that there is no longer any need to e-mail us about your Bingo and we hope that you will continue to enjoy the expansion of your library and, hopefully, queue!

and here’s why!

You can skip this section if you wish as it is only explanatory, but for those of you that are curious about bingo methodology and why we do things the way we do, we don’t mind sharing at all! as bingo has gained momentum and participants, the prizes have been claimed more quickly so we have tried to increase the challenge a bit. there are more patterns included in the game than there are numbers on your card. Your card will be missing 5 numbers, so sometimes the daily pattern will not be on your card. there are also no free spaces, you’ll have to get all 5 in a row to win. The anticipation is so fun and we want to hang on to our prizes as long as we can.

the first couple of game years, we were able to offer multiple daily delivery methods. there were separate player lists depending on where each knitter wanted to store their pattern. you can imagine that this caused some issues— certain groups would receive their patterns/numbers before others, more lists = more errors, it was very labor intensive for your designers, and so on. we know that ravelry does not work for everyone and is not always your preferred storage space but fortunately, ravelry does offer a gift delivery method. using this feature, individuals can choose whether they would like to download and store their pattern through their own system and/or add it to their library. as noted in your confirmation PDF, you’ll want to be sure to have the e-mail address downloads@ravelry.com in your address book, unblocked and unfiltered, as this is how the daily pattern will arrive. We will be sending your pattern to the e-mail address provided from your Bingo card purchase through the Ravelry gift feature. All participants will receive their e-mail at the same time and then be able to decide where to store the pattern as best suits individual needs.

Put your Pattern where you want it.

When you receive your daily e-mail, it’ll look like this and you may save to your device or add to Ravelry Library, you do not need to use ravelry to retrieve your pattern. Either way, step 1 is to click the download button! Note: If you are not signed in to your Ravelry account before clicking the link in your e-mail, or you do not use Ravelry, you will see “sign in to store on Ravelry” in place of the checkbox shown at the upper top right.

After you click the button, you’ll arrive on a landing page. This page has a link for the actual file download, and a checkbox that refers to your Ravelry Library. The set-up below shows the set-up for saving the file to your device ONLY. Just click that link and you’re all set.

The exact same page is below, but this is what it looks like when storing to your library.

So there you go! A more detailed set of instructions than you could ever need for clicking a button!

prize shipping

each year, We have been inching more towards physical prizes because everything is just more fun with tangible goodies, don’t you agree? We want to include as many knitters as possible. This year we will be shipping internationally for up to $30.00 USD. If your shipping costs exceed this amount, we may contact you to see if you would like to cover the additional cost or would rather switch to a digital award.

Thanks a million!

To our generous sponsors this year! Knitters, you’ll never regret supporting them and we cannot wait to share them all with you next week.

There are Bingo prizes to be claimed. Whoop! Um, does anyone NOT know about my obsession with Joji’s bags? Well, Joji & Co is our official sponsor this year and the grand prize winner will receive a $100 gift card. I know, I know, I can’t play 😜

Knit Bingo 2022

sponsored by Tolt Yarn and Wool, along with me, Jill & Claire

The game begins on June 1! Purchase your Knit Bingo card by May 31, 2022 to be ready for the first play on Wednesday. This year I’ve asked two brilliant & experienced designers to work with me for an even larger pattern variety! Check out the work of Jill Zielinksi aka Knitterella & Claire Borchardt aka Autumn & Indigo as they will be making appearances in your inbox throughout the game! As always, there are prizes to be claimed. Whoop! Tolt Yarn & Wool is our official sponsor this year. They have contributed a $50.00 USD gift card which we have decided to include in our prizes, instead of just using it on ourselves 😜. Tolt is a wonderful shop to support, whether online or in person. They have a phenomenal selection of anything you need for your projects and the staff is so knowledgeable. Next time your own LYS doesn’t have it, get your fingers headed over to Tolt’s website and give them a try! This post is filled with all the detailed information you could possibly want, but if you still have questions, e-mail us! We have sprinkled some prize images throughout, so enjoy the sneak peeks. More prize info is at the end of this post!

About the Designers

Claire Borchardt focuses her design work on patterns that are classic and timeless, yet still modern and chic, integrating lace and textures in most of her work. She strives to create pieces that are closet staples that can be worn with just about anything.

Kate Oates creates patterns for everyone, from wee to very grand indeed. Her designs are as wearable as they are stylish and offer a variety of customization options alongside an extensive size range. Kate considers herself a detail-oriented designer focused on providing patterns that make you feel as incredible as you look and are as enjoyable to knit as they are to wear.

Jill Zielinski’s graphic design background is evident in her unique designs and bold colorwork. Not limited to one design aesthetic; Jill designs patterns that are both simple and classic, as well as designs that are bold and colorful with a modern flair. Recently, she started her own yarn company called North Bay Fiber which focuses on breed specific yarns, 100% sourced, dyed, and milled in the U.S.A.

How to Play the Game

Hint: If you’ve played with me in the past, the process is pretty much the same!

  1. Getting prepared. Click here to purchase your Bingo card and receive daily pattern deliveries. If you sign up before this Sunday, you’ll get a confirmation PDF and I’ll be sending out your randomized, individual cards Monday (a few may go out early Tuesday but I’ll get them out ASAP!) If you register after this weekend, you’ll still receive all of the above, but your card will be sent at any point before the first pattern is announced, including moments before. If you would like to participate in the game, but aren’t able to purchase a card at this time, you can e-mail us to request a card. Although you will not receive the patterns, you will be eligible for the prizes. Don’t be shy about this!

  2. Playtime. From June 1-June 25, you’ll be receiving a surprise knitting pattern (or two) in your inbox! This is really what Knit Bingo is all about, as these patterns are valued at over $200 total, and you’re getting them for just over $1 each = win-win. Each pattern will have a corresponding number which you will cross out on your card each day. Patterns will be sent by 2pm EDT/11am PDT. We serve a variety of time zones, so this allows us to adjust the timing here are there so that no one knows exactly when to expect it.

  3. Winning. As soon as you have a Bingo, e-mail us and tell us! Please include a photo or screenshot of your filled card.

  4. If you are one of the first 12 knitters to share your Bingo with us, you are eligible for a prize! This year when you win, you will get to choose the prize that you are most excited about from our list. The list will get smaller as each prize is claimed.

  5. Bingo will continue through June 25, even if/when all prizes have been claimed. At that time, our note will remind you that there is no longer any need to e-mail us about your Bingo and we hope that you will continue to enjoy the expansion of your library and, hopefully, queue!

New this Year

Nothing fancy but we did up the challenge just a little. In the last couple of years, we ran out prizes more quickly than I would have liked so there are just a couple of tweaks to the process. First, you’ll notice that there are more patterns included than there are numbers on your card. Your card will be missing 5 numbers, so sometimes the daily pattern will not be on your card. Second, there are no free spaces this year! That’s right, you’ll have to get all 5 in a row to win. The anticipation is so fun and we want to hang on to our prizes as long as we can. 😂 If for some reason we have made it too hard (doubtful!), we have a trick up our sleeve that we can begin at any time.

The other tweak is daily delivery method. Up to now, we kept two separate player lists going: one for e-mail pattern delivery and the other for Ravelry. We have come up with a better way, for so many reasons! Be sure to have the e-mail address downloads@ravelry.com in your address book, unblocked and unfilitered, as this is how the daily pattern will arrive. We will be sending your pattern to the e-mail address provided from your Bingo card purchase through the Ravelry gift feature. All participants will receive their e-mail at the same time and then be able to individually decide where to store the pattern. Important: If you checked out from an e-mail address you do not regularly use, click here to e-mail us the requested change.

Put your Pattern where you want it.

When you receive your daily e-mail, it’ll look like this and you may save to your device or add to Ravelry Library. Either way, step 1 is to click the download button! Note: If you are not signed in to your Ravelry account before clicking the link in your e-mail, or you do not use Ravelry, you will see “sign in to store on Ravelry” in place of the checkbox shown at the upper top right.

After you click the button, you’ll arrive on a landing page. This page has a link for the actual file download, and a checkbox that refers to your Ravelry Library. The set-up below shows the set-up for saving the file to your device ONLY. Just click that link and you’re all set.

The exact same page is below, but this is what it looks like when storing to your library.

So there you go! A more detailed set of instructions than you could ever need for clicking a button!

Prizes

Hold on to your needles, because Bingo prizes have never been better. This year, knitters will be able to choose their prizes based on what is available at the time of their win! We are still going to tease you a little as many prizes include extra(s) not included in the description. Numbers below are not in any kind of order, but just so you can easily identify which package you are snagging. We will let you know your options after you e-mail us your bingo and again, order and timing matters, first come, first serve!

Shipping

We have been inching more towards physical prizes because everything is just more fun with yarn, don’t you agree? We want to include as many knitters as possible. This year we will be shipping internationally for up to $30.00 USD. If your shipping costs exceed this amount, we may contact you to see if you would like to cover that cost or would rather switch to a digital award.
