To celebrate the month of February I am giving away some lovely craft books! To enter the giveaway, just leave a comment on this blog post telling me which book you’d like and why. As usual, one entry per person please. The giveaway will close at the end of this month and the winner will be notified by email, so please include an email address when you leave your comment. Good luck!
Our first book was donated for a giveaway by a lovely iMake blog reader and podcast listener, Cammie (SecretSquire on Ravelry). Cammie found herself with 2 copies of this fabulous book and wanted to share her good fortune. Thanks Cammie! You can read more about the book on Amazon UK: Stashbuster Knits
Next I have a copy of Lisa Niven Kelly’s book Stamped Metal Jewelry. The wonderful book includes a DVD and is perfect for anyone interested in creating their own unique jewellery. You can read more about the book on Amazon UK: Stamped Metal Jewelry
Finally I have a copy of The Encyclopaedia of Contemporary Jewellery Making Techniques by Vanetta Seecharran. This is a super book for anyone thinking about trying jewellery making, but it’s also suitable for established jewellery makers as it covers so much. For a summary of the book please visit Amazon UK: Contemporary Jewellery Making Techniques: A Comprehensive Guide for Jewellers and Metalsmiths

ooh, lovely. id love to get ‘the encyclopedia of contemporary jewelry making techniques’, as im always looking for new ideas/materials to make jewellery!
Hello! I love the second book about stamping jewellery – I’ve always been interested in this, but never known how to get started!
Oh I’d love a copy of stashbuster knits! I’m a yarnaholic and really need to use my yarn before I buy more! [Famous last words
]
I’d love the Stashbuster Knits. I have lots of stash that needs to be used up.
Ooooh how lovely. Stashbuster knits for me please. I have so many lovely single skeins that need to be knitted up.
I’d love the Encyclopedia of Contemporary Jewelry Making. I’ve been wanting to try jewelry making since I started listening to your podcast. I’m looking to expand my “creative exploits” from just sewing and I think this would be the way to go!!!
While I would love the jewelry books, I think I would actually use the stash buster knits book. Therefore that would be my choice.
Ooooh, I’d love the Encyclopedia of Contemporary Jewelry Making Techniques. I’ve been wanting to get into jewelry making – I’m going to a beading class later this month and I’m sure will want to branch out from there!
Hello! I’d love the Stashbuster Knits book please (because my husband will be very grateful if it means some of the yarn in our house then gets liberated!!)
It has to be Stashbuster Knits – I really REALLY need this because my stash needs all the help it can get!

I’d love to win the stamping jewellery book, I haven’t made much in a while and would love to try some new things to get back to it.
I’d love the Stashbuster Knits book! I seem to be acquiring yarn faster than I can knit it!
Since I already love making jewelry, I would love the encyclopedia of Jewelry making techniques so I can amp up my repetoire. But as a second choice it would be the knitting book, since I am trying to reduce the stash. Thanks again Martine! Oh, have you tried making your own soda yet? So easy. Takes 2 minutes.
I’d love to win Stashbuster Knits. I cannot afford to buy yarn and pattern (unemployed). My small stash is from a yarn bought for projects that I do not like, but still love the yarn just need creative ways reusing the yarn.
Lovely Martine! I’d love to win the last one about making jewellery. I’m feeling a new passion coming on
Hello Martine, stashbuster knits looks very useful!! Like most folk I have a large stash and sometimes I have no idea what to do with it..

For myself I’d love the stash-buster knits…there is yarn overflowing out of my cupboard! But I’d love to win the stamped metal jewellery book for my mum more than anything. She goes to silver-smithing classes and absolutely loves it, this would make her day! hannah@philackroyd.karoo.co.uk

What a lovely giveaway. I would love to win The encyclopedia of contemporary jewelry making techniques as I’ve been on a couple of jewellery making courses and I’m about to go on another one at the end of February. I think this book would help me think about techniques and give me inspiration in my future jewellery making ‘exploits’.
