Magazines

[yabyumpan]

Hi folks, hope it's ok to post this. I've got a large number of knitting magazines (100's) that i need to get rid of quickly. I'd rather pass them on than just recycle them, any suggestions? I'm in Leyton, Walthem forest in n/e London.

The two first things that come to mind for me are:
-contact local library and see if they want them / otherwise have suggestions
-check out ravelry groups for your area and make a post there asking if anyone wants them

Thanks for the response, didn't think of libraries. I'll check out Ravelry aswell

No problem and good luck!! :-)

(PS: I googled and there seems to be a knitting group in your area, they may also be interested in your magazines! https://directory.walthamforest.gov.uk/kb5/walthamforest/directory/service.page?id=ObapU9SUjTk )

Thank you, that's quite close, I'll contact them.

Local yarn shop or school who does knitting lessons? Old folks home in the area?

Also good suggestions, thank you

My library will _happily_ take crafting books/magazines because they're expensive. (We have a very, very wonderful craft section because groups have been donating books for several decades.) Schools are also a good place to donate; your local youth centers, after school programs, colleges, you'd be surprised.

Thank you for your response, all good suggestions.
