If you're anything like me, then you've always been drawn to vintage styles. I also tend to lean towards the funkier — and sometimes just plain weird — styles, but nothing compares to that classic piece in my closet that I can pair with anything! For all the classic women out there who see the value (and beauty) in a sturdy and stylish cardigan, this collection of 25 charming patterns is meant for you.
Inside, knitters are treated to gorgeous photos and patterns for everything a gal needs, including sweaters, tops, jackets, hats, scarves and even mittens. Each pattern features elegant details, flattering shaping and a refreshing modern twist. Author Lene Holme Samsøe explains, "If you're crazy about knitting, you already know that creating a knitted garment is the perfect antidote to the busy lives we lead." So, if you find yourself in dire need of a knitting break, just pick up one of the quick and simple patterns from Essentially Feminine Knits. And if you're looking for a larger project to keep yourself busy, this book has a multitude of long cable cardigans to appease you!

Looks like an interesting book. I have a HUGE collection of knitting books and magazines--which I find online, through book clubs or on sale at local book stores. I thought this was purely a review? Where do you all get the 'giveaway' or 'contest' idea from? Seems to me the book was being reviewed only, or am I missing some vital info? She gave the weblink for the book too, so I'll check there first. :)
