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.
Only one comment per person please, and don't forget to leave your contact information as well!
I'll randomly select a commenter and announce the winner next week along with another book review!

Mittens and gloves! Definitely my thing and those are beautiful!
It looks like a really good one. Thanks for the opportunity!

I've been saving up for a book of patterns focused around hand accessories. Vogue Knitting: Mittens & Gloves is one of the books I've been looking at longingly. Maybe next week I'll discover that I was actually saving up for yarn to go with my new book.

Oh, that's surprising -- I have that issue of VK! I didn't know there was a pattern book to go with it.
These patterns look like a lot of fun! I would love to win the giveaway. I can see me wearing some of the designs you featured as well.

Thanks again!
ooh, me - please!
I haven't done any mittens or gloves yet. This looks like a great book to get me going.

I've been too scared to attempt mittens or gloves. This book would probably give me the guts. Thanks for the giveaway!
Gloves of all lengths, styles and colors are extremely important for staying warm throughout the year :)
Great giveaway!
I LOVE all the mittens and gloves and im always looking for fingerless mits for my sore wrists in the cooler weather. Thanks for having such a great give away!!

I like to see pretty craft books like that!
OMGoodness those OWL mittens are too lovely. I prefer making mittens/gloves to socks. (I am more apt to wear them too than socks- so why do I keep buying sock yarn? I digress) What a neat book to add to my wishlist IF I'm not chosen...

The few mittens with the cables look a bit bulky but then cables have a tendency to do that. But those gloves look lovely, though thinking about knitting those individual fingers look daunting.
This looks like a great book! Thanks for the giveaway.
Holy cow, this book looks amazing! It would be awesome to own! Thanks for the giveaway!
I'd love to win the book for the cover alone. The patterns you chose look scrumptious!
Oh, I've become enamoured with knitting gloves after making the Ringwood gloves from Knitty so this book would be fantastic for fuelling my growing addiction
Thank you!
This is more my thing then the cowl book. And I have only made one pair of mittens so far but MANY hats. Maybe that could be the thing to knit next winter!
A great book.
I like to knit gloves.

Mittens!!!! What an awesome book to win, thanks for the giveaway! (Kamigaeru on Ravelry)
This is perfect! I've been nursing a mitten obsession all winter, but I was prevented from knitting by an RSI and a wrist injury. These look like perfect small projects to make over the summer and wear/gift over the winter!
Those are some sexy gloves!
I normally knit socks for everyone for Christmas but this year I was thinking about making mittens and gloves. Great designs!
What a fab book - would love to add it to my library!
I am obsessed with mittens and gloves! Thanks for the opportunity.
Nice giveaway! Thanks!

Love the look of this book! So many interesting and classic patterns! Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway.
Neat! I have Robin Melanson's "Knitting New Mittens and Gloves" but I haven't seen this book before. I have a lot of mittens and fingerless gloves, especially because when I started knitting, I bought a lot of single skeins. To use them up, I often knit fingerless gloves. Or mittens. charis_channah17 AT hotmail DOT com

mittens, gloves (and socks) are my passion this year. Small projects with infinite possible varieties. So I'd love to use MITTENS & GLOVES.

Would it be too awful to make a string for adult mittens to connect them together? I ALWAYS lose one of a pair. Maybe then I would venture to actually make some mittens.

Those first pair of gloves are stunning. I would love this book!
trickyterri@gmail.com
How pleased I was to stop by and see your book reviews! Thank you!
That books interesting. Don't know if I'd buy a book just on mittens. I also gotta say the mittens on the cover....what? They're a little too modern. Should've led with something a little more universal, like Jard Floods amazing mittens/
This looks like a great book. Thanks for the drawing.
This book has been in my wishlist since itwas pre-announced!
O Wow, what wonderful mittens and gloves. The second image is my favorite shown. I would knit them over the summer at the beach. Thank you for another giveaway.
What beautiful mittens, I've been a failure at mitten knitting so far, would love the chance to practice! :-) Thanks -
These patterns look interesting - thanks for the giveaway!
Alana, the book looks awesome!!
I would love a copy of the book! Thanks so much! Debbie in Alaska
I've never knitted a glove, but with patterns that pretty i'd gather my courage and give it a try!
Looks like a great book. Would love to win it. Thanks.
cchamberlain10@cox.net
ooh this is exciting!
Mittens have become a bit of an obsession for me, though I haven't managed to complete a pair. Why does nobody ever talk about SMS? well, I would love the opportunity to ahve patterns to inspire me.
