"Hey, ive just knitted the hat - is there a pattern for a smaller version available?????"
Lisa
"It actually says to repeat rows 1-14 for 51"."
Lisa
"There is no error in the pattern as written, the errors are occurring on the part of the knitters who are not able to follow an intermediate pattern. The cast on is 156 stitches, seed stitch 6, knit 1, work lace repeat 13 times across the row, seed stitch 6 gives a total of 156 stitches as specified with the cast on. I won't even go into the stupidity of writing a comment addressed to a major yarn company on a website that simply hosts patterns, that the company will never see. To complete an intermediate pattern, the knitter must have a decent amount of both knitting and pattern reading experience, so this project definitely is NOT newbie friendly."
Lisa
"The stitch count is 21 plus 2, so make sure your stitch count is divisible by 21 and add the plus 2 for the selvedge."
Lisa
"It comes out really small, so I've been using the pattern as a stashbuster and giving them away to friends and family for their dogs, pretty popular, I'm getting requests for certain colors to reflect holidays too!"

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. :)
