November Giveaway
You have until December 31st to win a copy of Green Gables Knits by Joanna Johnson. November winner was Terri H.
However, RIGHT NOW you can "win" (that is "download right now")
your very own copy of the first (and last) ever CraftLit Holiday Cookbook! I
have to post this link early so
right now you'll get a PDF confirmation. Every time I update the
cookbook with new recipes you'll get an email with the latest
download link.
Easy peasy and FREE! Merry Christmas!

Many thanks to Nanette the Nanny for knitting me my very own pair of Mina's... it nearly did her in, but she (the spectacular shawl-but-rarely-sock knitter) persevered!
