Classic Elite's Quick Knits

Authors and Publishers

If your a publisher or author and would like me to review, host a contest, do an interview, or to just help spread the word about your book, please email me at charlawilson@me.com or lalas@cableone.net

I love books! I would love to read and review your book! I also love blogging about books and sharing that love with others. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help spread the word about your book. I would be more than happy to accept review copies from publishers and authors. I would also be happy to participate in author interviews, blog tours, and host contests.

I accept ebooks that can be loaded onto kindle.

I will always give review books top priority. Therefore, I will read the book in a timely manner. I will try not to post the review until about a month prior to release.

I will review every book that I read. I will only accept books that I believe I would like to read. If I do not like the book, I will not give it a totally negative review. I can usually find something good about every book I read. I would rather say nothing than give a book a total negative review. Just because I don't like a book does not mean that someone else would. Even if I don't review the book, I can spotlight it on my blog by offering it in a contest, or just do a Spotlight post on the book.

Thank You!

This awesome book is packed with beautiful patterns. There are 100 patterns for Wraps, Cowls, Shawls, Scarfs, Socks, mittens, Hats and dolls. There was not one pattern that I did not like. The first section has 40 patterns for hats, mittens and socks for adults and children. There are regular mittens and fingerless mittens. There are cabled hats and fairisle hats as well as lots of differnt sock patterns.

The second section has 41 patterns for Scarves, Shrugs, wraps, capes and cowls. This is my favorite section. It has beautiful patterns that include lace patterns, and cable patterns. My personal favorite in this section is the Cinder Scarf. It is a beautiful, soft, seafoam colored, cabled scarf that is 64' long.

The last section contains 8 of the prettiest blanket patterns I have ever seen. It also has a couple of very cute dolls that any child would love to have.

For patterns requiring charts, the charts in color and easy to follow, along with the written patter. Each pattern is also labeled beginner, intermediate or advanced. I think there is something lovely in this book for every level of knitter.

Here are a few photo's of what you will get get with this very lovely book!

Cabled Hat-I Love this one!

Child's Pill Box Hat

Fresco Mitts

Ruched Shawl

Aspen Capelet

Fresco Shrug

Halo Cowl

And my favorite pattern, The Cinder Scarf

And the last phot is of The Renaissance Doll

There are so many great patterns in this book that I plan on buying it when it comes out because I can't read the Netgalley version very well. I hope you enjoyed this, i know there are a lot of photo's, but i wanted you to see that this is not a book that you buy and then wonder why youbought something that did not have very good patterns. As you can see this book is full of beautiful patterns.
