I’m crazy about my friend Lynda Richardson’s new book. If you loved the first one, you’ll find more here: more darning patterns, more Blackwork, more Tent Stitch patterns. But if you love textured stitches, you’ll find these here as well, in solid and open versions.
You’ll see my review of the book soon, but right now I have a copy of the book to give away. The contest is open to US residents only and entries must be in the form of a comment on this post.
The contest is open until 11:59 PM Pacific, December 15, 2016. No late entries will be accepted.
The winner will be chosen by random number generator.
Good Luck!

I will be looking around for the first Stitches a la Carte, since you recommend the second one so highly.
