"I have enjoyed knitting this blanket up to the Flower Garden and Im now confused. Row 1 where it reads k1b ( twisted knit stitch) I thought that knitting into the back of the knit stitch was twisted knitting. Could you please explain this to me ."

"The pattern is not a downloadable PDF, it would have to be printed from this page."

"This is another dead link, I guess no one had time to check it before featuring it in this morning's email. The Pattymac knits website has been defunct for some time now."

"I am making this sweater now. It is probably the most confusing pattern I have ever used. I have ripped out the yoke part several times. Either I am making the same mistake over and over or the pattern is incorrect in regards to the sleeve ribbing. I am adjusting the pattern as I go so the ribbing lines up. As far as I can tell from my research, there has been no pattern correction published. My daughter in law chose this pattern and asked me to knit it, otherwise, I would have scrapped this project and done something else. Thank God for lifelines!"
Lisa
"I have to agree with you about the rating system on this website, there is an option to rate it as have not made it, but most people ignore it and use the rate system for their opinion rather then the pattern. I do have to disagree with you about the pattern though, my knitters group have made many hats to donate out of the cold project in our city and the yarn and needles are correct, unless you need to change due to a gauge issue."

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!

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. :)
