A fine idea

Lately Alison has been offering a "Saturday giveaway" where she passes on books she no longer needs.

I think this is just a fine idea, although it is now Sunday!

Since two of my friends had the bright idea to give me the same magazine when I was in hospital, I will offer one up to you, dear readers.

It is the VK Fall 2010. (Oh, dear, it's so last season, I'm sorry!)

This is, in fact, full of delightful stuff you should be able to see here.

I can tell you right now that the yarn for the great Union Jack cardigan (Scottish Tweed 4-ply) has already been discontinued, so I hope that doesn't break anyone's heart too badly. They say you can use Felted Tweed, like this one on Ravelry. (And really, if your gauge is off and the final measurement turns out to be 65 inches instead of 68 3/4", who's going to notice!)

Leave a comment here and I'll just pick one lucky winner at random. And perhaps this tradition might continue, because I certainly have a few books I never use!

ETA: I'd better make a time limit on this... Leave your comment before midnight Tuesday, Nov 23!
