"I would love to knit this, but I don't know a man who would wear it. I love that classic, almost formal look but the styles (at least of the men I know) tend to be much more relaxed unless they're in business suits. We have lost something along the way!"

"I still can't get it!! Page says URL prohibited!!! I really want this because my daughter had one of each together as pets and they loved each other!! The bunny passed and her work took her away so she found a good farm for the duck to go live!! She misses them both,sorely!!"

"Such a classic sweater top. Love the color combinations as they as perfect colors for this Spring. The instructions are easy to follow and they also include an enlarged stitching graph. Several others have commented that they do not see a picture of this sweater, but I can see it with no problems."
Hippie Chick
"This top is perfect for a fancy dinner date or hitting a club with friends. It has a fitted body that flows smoothly up to a high neck collar that buttons in the back. It has delicate lace on the front that adds to the soft femininity. The smooth back adds a conservative contrast to the lacy front."

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. :)
