Giveaway started 20 Nov 2012

What's this about?
We've blagged 25 copies of We Knit You a Merry Christmas for MoneySavers who want to try their hands at knitting some festive gifts.The RRP is £5.99, but you can get it for £3.89 on Amazon.

wtd_icon.gif What to do
If you're interested, just reply to this (click on 'post reply') and say:
"Don't shed your needles!"

To do this you need to be registered for the Forum (if you're not, when you click reply you'll be taken through the process. It's free, of course).

APPEAL: Please ONLY reply to this thread if you will check your private messages to see if you've won a copy next week (week commencing 26 Nov). If you don't get in contact promptly you won't receive a copy and if there are any remaining books they'll be given away.

But bear in mind 75 names are being picked and there are only 25 books (because sadly not everyone gets in touch, so doing it this way helps to speed up the administration process), so you'll have to get in quick.

Also, please DON'T email in as your name won't be counted. Nor include your contact details in this thread as, for your own safety, we don't allow personal details on the public forum so your post may be deleted.

This giveaway appears in the weekly email (if you don't already get the email go to www.moneysavingexpert.com/tips) and will close at 10am on Monday 26 Nov so please get your posts in before then.

wtd_icon.gif More about the book
The book's blurb ...

"Christmas is a time for sharing, and hand-knitted gifts for friends and family are the perfect way to spread a little festive joy.We Knit You a Merry Christmas has something for everyone.

Traditional Christmas characters such as angels, choir boys, Father Christmas and the three kings make great decorations. Add some fun and laughter to your Christmas celebrations this year with knitted animals such as ‘Baa Humbug’ the sheep, 'Snappy Christmas' crocodiles and the Three French Hens, as well as quirkier items like chillies, sledging snowballs and of course the famous ‘Ha Pea Christmas’.

So forget gold, frankincense and myrrh and give the gift of knitting this Christmas!"

How will the people be chosen?

25 people will be picked at random (we've a special little computer programme to do it) and a private message will be sent to each of their winning usernames requesting their USERNAME, FULL NAME and ADDRESS details (there'll be an email address to send this information to, we don't want it done via private messages).

The FIRST 25 people to get back to me will win a copy of the book.


The giveaway has a strict one entry per household policy and entries can be deemed ineligible without any explanation or notification.


When will I get the book?

The publisher providing these books will send them out directly though, to aid administration, this won't happen until all 25 winners have provided their name and address. So it may take several weeks between the giveaway's end and actual receipt. This thread will be updated to let winners know when they have been sent out.
