Still, I knit away with lovely yarn while sitting at the pool. I started another slouchy cardigan. A.) Because I LOVE that sweater. (I think it has been my all time favorite sweater that has gotten the most wear of anything that I have ever knit.) B.) Because I had some charmed in my stash that I scored on sale while it was being discontinued. (Why oh why would they discontinue this lovely yarn?) I actually saw that someone over on Ravelry had 11 balls in their stash. Definitely enough to make a slouchy.
Have you seen Vogue Knitting Stitchionary 5? The 5th in the series that is an amazing reference that would benefit every knitters library, lace knitter or not. It is full of clear instructions and charts of over 150 different designs. I sort of got lost in the photographs. They are absolutely gorgeous. I just love this book sitting on the coffee table.

Slouchy cardigan is awesome! That's really actually very lovely in that vanilla yarn. Mmm. And I love stitch dictionaries. So much love! Thanks for being willing to put one up for adoption. :D
OOH, I'm interested. I [heart] knitting books! I'm the same way, I can just look and look thru the books.
I saw the pic of your slouchy sweater ... LOVE it! Beautiful.
Thanks for your generous offer-- that book would be so handy in my fairly new knitting endeavors...

I've been wanting to knit some lace. Thanks for the chance to win!
Looks like a fabulous book...I would love to win it! Thanks for organizing the give away.

Oh yes, what a great giveaway. And that cardi...wow! I'm "rethinking my thinking" on the pattern I was going to use...This is lovely!
Leslie, thank you for the opportunity to win such a great book. Would love to have it to add to my stitch library.
I love your slouchy cardigan! I made one similar to it, but with raglan shaping, and I wear it all the time.
I would love to win the stitchionary. thanks for the giveaway!
I am really liking slouchy cardis these days, I can't wait to see your new one finished!
...and I'd love to win a Stitch Dictionary...
Very cool - I love that series of books - hope I win!
Count me in please!
I'm interested!
I can see why you want to knit another slouchy, it looks so comfy and useful, beautiful.
I am eying this book since I first saw it on some blog (forgot where it was) I would love to have my own copy.
Giveaways AND a Stitchionary, all at once? Yay!
Ooh! Looks like a great book! I'm definitely interested!
I LOVE your slouchy cardigan too. I've really got to get with it and step up my skills! Maybe Vogue Knitting Stitchionary 5 could help ; )
I just finished my first lace project and am looking forward to my next one - a book like this would be a great inspiration!
I am interested in winning the book. Your slouchy cardigan also has me looking for Greetings from the Knit Cafe.
I love the slouchy! I just posted a few cardigans I'm ready to knit immediately, only I need to collect the yarn to make them. And, I don't have any of the stitch references yet, but they are all on my Christmas wish list... conveniently, lace is one of my current projects! I'm knitting the Peacock Tail & Leaf Scarf from the Estonian Lace book and it's turning out genius. But, oh, how a reference guide would help!
Volume 5?!?!? I can't imagine how I've made it so long without. The internet I guess. A book is better :)
Yippee! Thanks for thinking of all of us readers!
I keep seeing this book on blogs but haven't seen it in person. Would love to improve my lace knitting. Thanks for the opportunity!
I think stitch dictionaries are an essential addition to any knitter's library! I'd love this new edition.

How exciting. I would love a new knitting book. I'm looking to start a stitch library.
you're lucky you have one to give away :) and someone out there is lucky to win it!
love the color of slouchy #2- it's gorgeous (as with slouchy #1) :)
Okay so now Slouchy Cardigan has made it to my queue. Thanks for the great picture! I would love to win this book, so I'm sending random generator magnets to this comment! (Ha! I wish!)
I would love that! It would definitely need to live on a shelf though, books on coffee tables don't last too long in my house.
That book sounds great!
I don't own a stitch dictionary, but I've envied the series...crossing my fingers!
Very cool! I would love that.
One of my friends was a test knitter for that book. I saw it when it came out. LOVE IT! Crossing my fingers AND toes on this one. :)
Lace is my next knitting frontier - this would be a great help. Thanks for the giveaway!
Can't wait to see your next cardigan! Thanks for doing the giveaway. :-)
would love to look through that book too! thanks
wow... another giveaway?? you're awesome! :)
Oohh, great giveaway! Do you ever have a problem knitting in the summer heat? We don't have air conditioning and sometimes having wool in my hands just too warm. I am sure I will do a little of sock knitting this summer. I love when the summer turns into fall and the knitting is so cozy.
Definitely interested! I would love to win one!
the book--and sweater--look wonderful!
I never win, but perhaps this time...
I'm not sure what I enjoy the most, your knitting, your photography or your cookies. Thank you for sharing them all with us
You are very generous! I have as much love for the knitting books as I do the knitting. Count me in!
Now I'm inspired to knit a slouchy cardigan.
That book looks inspiring too.
I'm intrigued. Thought about starting a Brandywine. You know, in between raising a newborn a two and four year old. Tell me it gets easier and I'll find more time to knit.
What a great giveaway. I love to look through the photos and it a plus if the directions and references are helpful to.
I love your slouchy sweater.
Oooh, I love stitch pattern books - thanks for having this giveaway!
-Kala on Ravelry
OOh I love the series. Unfortch, I don't have any, yet...lol. Please count me in for the giveaway.
Btw, my slouchy cardi lives in a bag...waiting for me to pull it out and finish it. Love the color you're using this time around.:-)
If you are happy to post overseas (if I win LOL) please enter me - thank you .
I love knitting books almost as much as I love knitting. Love the slouchy cardigan, it looks like the perfect everyday snuggly sweater!
Oh, I love that cardy - might have to add that to my list of to-knits!
And thanks for the chance of the give-away!
Thanks for reminding me how much I like that sweater. I've added it to my rav favs. Maybe, after I finish my first adult sweater I'll take on the slouch. And the book, awesome!
WOW!Great giveaways you have. Thanks so much.I love all your great projects and beautiful pictures. So inspiring! The book would be great. Thanks, kelly

I wish I were knitting by the side of a pool - sounds bliss.

I learned how to knit properly with "Vogue Knitting The Ultimate Knitting Book". It would be great to have this as an "add-on". Thanks Leslie.

Would love to enter the giveaway. Thank you so much.

Is the slouchy on Ravelry? Am interested in making one.
That book sounds so cool!
lovely!
I love beautiful knitting books. Thanks!
I've seen that VK and flipped through - it looks lovely. And yes on slouchy too, I have a batch of festival yarn in cream that needs to be something like it --
I also love the photos in the Vogue books. Eye candy! :)
My goodness, another gorgeous giveaway! That stitchionary would be a dream come true to me. :)
What a wonderful book! Would love to add it to my collection. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the color of your new sweater!
Thanks for the giveaway! That looks like a great color for a slouchy.
I was flippinng through that book the other day at B&N...it was great :)
This book sure would come in hand as I'm a newbie in the realm of lace/shawl knitting. Thank you for offering this.
Oh,please pick me!
Not trying to win, I can't have any distractions (no matter how lovely) while I try to wrap up my sweater. But I wanted to say I love the slouchy cardigan. Looks comfy!
Yay! A knitting book! I love 'em!
I have been wanting that book for a good bit of time now. :)
I love seeing your "go-to" knits. If only I could wiggle my nose and get one just like it. :-)
I would love a chance to win this! thanks!
Loved the slouchy cardigan. I've yet to stray from making baby items (I have three kids, oldest two turned two this week), and am nervous to commit so much time and yarn to something when I'm not positive it'll turn out perfectly, but I just might have to try this one!
I'd love a lace stitch dictionary! Enjoy that poolside knitting!
How on earth do you get all these copies of books to give away? Please do email me back, I'm so curious!!
Great give-away! Thanks!
Now I have to go find the slouchy pattern. I really need to find something to knit on vacation this summer. I'll bet I hae some stash that would work.
I love to knit lace patterns. I mostly do them on socks but I'm looking to expand out of my sock rut. Enter me please :)
I find it had enough with the plain stuff but a girl has to have ambitions right? :D
How lucky to have two copies of what looks like a great book I would love to be included in the chance giveaway. Thank you for offering it to us .
I absolutely love your slouchy. I really want to make one for myself and since you are making a second I guess I should at least cast on for my first :)
Mid-80's would be a cold spell here at the moment.
Mmm, lace knitting.
i so need a slouchy! and yes i'm interested ;)
What a lovely color! And thank you for this giveaway (and all the others!) - what a great book!!
I am interested as well....havent had too much luck with more advanced lave patternss and hope that the photos will give me some inspiration!

Me. I have the others and Have this on my wish list. Thanks for the opportunity.

Awesome giveaway!
Yes, I would love to win this book. And polish up my lace knitting. Thanks for Sharing
What a great giveaway! I borrowed the 3rd in the series from our library once and you're right - they'd be a great addition to the library of any knitter.
I would love this book!
just learning, i made my first sweater and now am working on a blanket, I would love the inspiration from a beautiful book!
I have the first 3 and they are great. Would love to have a copy of #5.
I had not thought about making this sweater ... but you keep talking it up. Hmm. I might just have to queue it and see :)
I would love to get my mitts on that book!
Kelly in Neptune
Love the green yarn...and who could pass up a stitch dictionary?
I would like that book. I have sneaked around this series of books for a bit but think that they are a bit pricy.
Eva
I loved your first slouchy - that new color looks gorgeous for another one.
I would love to be in the running for the book! So generous of you.

Great giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win!
love your blog. My daughter gave me the link!
I can certainly vouch for this book - I just bought a copy! (So naturally . . . I won't need to be included in the giveaway). I really like the fact that there are some highly original lace patterns in there. I love this series!
I am sure the books contents are super but I am in love with the photography on the cover....beautiful!
I wouldn't mind winning a knitting book :-)
Good luck to everyone! And thank you to you, a never-met friend, for this giveaway...
Hey! I'm thinking of doing another Slouchy too. I love my first one as well. This time I thinking of going a size larger and keeping the hood. I have some stash yarn that would work great.
Great knitter's must think alike ;)
Thank you for giving away the book, I'd love to win it!

Thanks for giving one away. Would love to have it! :)
How generous! I've been meaning to snag myself a copy :)
I just finished my first Slouchy Cardigan and I have to agree, it's getting the most use out of anything I've ever knit up and it's so comfy! I haven't seen that book in the bookstores here yet! (stares jealously at book) they only have the first two on the shelves. Ever. Makes me sad ^_^
i love the vogue stitchionary series! thanks for the giveaway!
Oooh. I haven't seen this one at the store yet. Please count me in!
Thanks for the opportunity to win - I would love a copy!
thanks for setting up a giveaway.
a little help is always good!
does the weight of the hood pull the sweater toward the back? going to check out the pattern. hmmm
Totally interested! What a nice giveaway!!!
Slouchy cardigan, here I come!
That book would be awesome!
I love reading your blog. I don't know how you find the time to knit so much, but I wish I made the time to do it.
I've been contemplating making Slouchy since I first got the Knit Cafe book. Yours is gorgeous!
Some day I'd like to invest in all of the Vogue Stitchionary's, but I'd love to start with #5! :)
So far I have all these wonderful books in my collection and the lace book will be a welcome and lovely addition.
Thanks so much for such a beautiful and generous giveaway.
Smiles.....
Beverly

Thanks for offering one up :)
I love the slouchy and am going to get hold of the pattern right away. Love your site, thanks so much for giving such a 'great vibe' out.

It's because of you that I have a slouchy cardigan! I wear it at least three times a week. I am on a knitting book diet, so I can't buy anymore for a while...but it would be okay if I won one:)
Count me in! I've been eyeballing that book for a while. That's really awesome of you to do the giveaway.
Yet another lovely giveaway.... count me in please ;-) One can never have too many knitting books. I wish we had 80 degree weather, most days are high 90's here - not what I call fun!
