I have two books to swap. I'm going to put them up here first, if there are no takers, I'll post them on the KR site.

The first one: I find I have two copies of "In Living Colour," which is a Mags Kandis book of designs for 1824 Wool or 1824 Cotton. There are eight or ten designs in there, ranging from a lace vest sort of thing, to some colorwork projects, to a big complex mitred-square jacket.

The book cost about $12. I'd be willing to swap for a similarly priced book I DON'T have, or yarn, or what-have-you (quilt fabric, something from a local craftsperson, etc.)

The second is Alterknits. I bought it, looked through it a couple times, decided it just wasn't my style. I think I paid about $25 for the book (it was through Amazon). This one is a hardcover, has a lot of projects. (Most of the sweaters though are on the smaller end of the size spectrum - several have a 40" finished size as the largest size, one reason why I'm letting the book go). Again, I'd swap for something of comparable value - books, yarn, what have you.

Actually, knitting books might NOT be the ideal item to swap - I have an awful lot of knitting books, and some of the notable ones I DON'T have are ones I looked at in the store, went "meh" and put back on the shelf.
