"How do I make the buttonholes in the right side? Are the instructions there somewhere and I have missed them??"

"I'm on the fence about this one, even for a sampler it seems to have too many stitch textures that don't really compliment each other, there are stitches that gather and stitches that lay flat or roll naturally, so unsure if this will turn out a consistent size or if it will look like a 5 year old's first knit project."

"It could be, you would need to change the second knit row to purl to get the stocking stitch on straight needles."

Reviewed by: Caitlin Eaton, Editor for AllFreeKnitting

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!  

Free projects, giveaways, exclusive partner offers, and more straight to your inbox!

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. :)
