Thank you for joining me back this week for another book review!
Last week's drawing winner is Lauren! Congratulations!
If last week's cowls were not your thing, perhaps you'll enjoy this weeks review of the book Mittens & Gloves by the editors of Vogue Knitting Magazine.
This book contains over 40 of the most popular patterns compiled together from previous Vogue Knitting publications. The main focus is mitten and glove patterns, but there are also a few patterns for coordinating hats and scarves included as well.
This is truly a pattern book. There is a teeny tiny section in the back to show you the knitting basics, but the bulk of the book is pattern instructions and photos.
One thing I enjoyed about this book is the variety offered. There are many styles included to suit all different tastes. There are all types of gloves and fingerless mitts.. plain, cabled, colorwork, lace.. everything!
This book contains patterns for beginning knitters and advanced knitters. I think that everyone could find a pattern that they like in here.
Personally, I found many patterns in here that I would love to make and wear. Here are some of my picks.
And of course, I was happy to see Jared Flood's Druid Mittens included. I've always liked this pattern.
If you would like to win this brand new copy of Vogue Knitting Mittens and Gloves provided by Sixth and Spring Books, please leave a comment under this blogpost.

I'll randomly select a commenter and announce the winner next week along with another book review!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 224 of 224It looks like a beautiful book. Thanks for the chance to win it.
Mittens would seem to be something I could make. I'm not sure about gloves (the fingers!eek!), but there are some real tempting ones in your post. So, thanks for offering & yes please I would like a copy.

This is lovely! I think most would be quite challenging for me, but I'm ready to play with some more texture and patterns!
Your favorites are my favorites! Love (1000) (jrmint06@yahoo.com)
I'm not so much into cowls, but this book is just up my alley. I've been drooling over it a bit...
Recently discovered your podcast and now (ta da) your website. Thanks for sharing your knitting tales & more with all of us. Haven't knit any mittens or gloves yet- but lots of socks- this could get me going.
I'd love to win this book. :) Thanks for having this giveaway!
I love knitting fingerless gloves! I need to start getting into knitting gloves with fingers! girltrekkie on ravelry!
I love mittens and gloves, but have yet to take the plunge and make a pair. Great giveaway!
Oh I hope I win - this is a gorgeous book!
I love mittens!
Thank you for your generosity. This would be a great addition to my little library. Love having your patterns in our LYS to recommend. So well done and beautiful. Sydney

I have long admired this book and love the projects you picked! I have been meaning to make those Jared Flood mittens, too. Maybe this is the year. April is the perfect time to make mittens, yes? Ha!
Awesome giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win.

I've seen that book in yarn stores and I'm amazed at all the gorgeous patterns in it!
Mittens would be a great way to learn a new technique. I love to read and figure out a new pattern.

Fun!
Great book and it is just starting to get colder here now so perfect weather for mittens & gloves :-)
I'd love this! I've been wanting to knit more mittens/gloves because they're seen more than socks, but have a similar purpose.

I'm still knitting mittens in May! I think it will be a year-around necessity in Minnesota. I would love to expand my choices!
