Three Years

Three years ago today I started this blog and I’m so glad I did. I’ve met people and traveled places and learned things that I never would have otherwise. I’ve expanded my horizons, jumped on bandwagons and spent my disposable income on yarn, spinning wheels and photography equipment. I’ve happily responded to thousands of comments. I’ve gained readers and lost readers and gained them again. Writing and maintaining this blog has been a blessing and a joy and I’m thankful every day for this community. Yes, I mean YOU.

So, in the spirit of my blog-versary, it’s time to give back. First, there’s a new look to Carole Knits. I loved my old look and you can see that I haven’t changed all that much but it was still time for a bit of a change. Do you like it?

Second, it wouldn’t be a decent blog-versary without a contest. So, you know the drill. Leave me a comment on this post and I’ll enter you into a drawing. Since you all have plenty of yarn, I thought it would be fun to mix things up a bit and offer a different sort of prize. Instead of yarn, I’m going to offer the next best thing: chocolate. In the form of brownies. From here. They’re really good, just ask Margene.

To summarize for all you skimmers:

1. It’s my blog-versary and the blog has a bit of a new look
2. Leave me a comment on this post by Friday at 8pm EST
3. I will send brownies to one random winner
4. That is all.

  17. Happy Blogiversary, Carole! It’s been wonderful to know you these past few years. :o)

    I thought things looked a little different around here but I wasn’t positive – it looks great!

  19. Hi Honey…I’m here for the brownies! Only kidding, just adding my congrats. Seems like only yesterday you started this and I was thinking “what the heck is this blog thing?” I’m glad I found out.
    I’ll toast you at dinner…143

  20. Happy blogiversary!!! I do like the new look – especially the spiffy wallpaper.

    🙂 If I win, I’ll pass on the brownies, because I’m sure they aren’t gluten-free.

  25. Happy Blogiversary, Carole! I like the new look. Very you, I think. I’m so glad you found me in blogland because life wouldn’t be the same without you. ♥

  27. As one of your daily readers – I am thrilled that you started this blog…I’ve learned a lot and been inspired a lot! Plus – you are pretty darn nice, too!!!!

  33. I really like your new look, Carole, love the wallpaper. I’ve been reading your blog for several months and open it every morning! I especially love the photography. I think you have great balance of knitting, spinning, family, work, photos, travel … one of my favorites.

  36. Happy blogiversary, Carole! (We started the same week!)
    I love dropping by to catch up on what’s new…hoping we can do it someday ‘for real’.

  37. Happy Blogiversary! I’m glad you started the blog, too. I forget exactly how I found your blog, but I’m so glad I did.

    Oh, and the new look? I love it. It’s so elegant and yet comfortable. 🙂

  42. Happy blogiversary! The new look is great. I love the background. It’s red, how could I not? I think the banner is a great pictorial description of who you are. Here’s to many more years of blogging!

  45. I, for one, love what you’ve done with the place. The new wallpaper is warm and sophisticated.

    Happy Blogiversary! 🙂

  49. Oh my goodness, I think the brownies are a hit!! Your new look is GREAT — doesn’t it feel good? It’s like getting a new outfit or changing the accessories for one you love. And you… you take care of everyone, Carole. Who else would think to summarize a three-paragraph post?

    Happy Blogiversary!!
