Happy 4th Blogiversary To Me

January 29, 2009 By Carole

My creation
1. 4, 2. number 4, 3. four, 4. 4, 5. door number 4, 6. four, 7. Number 4, 8. “4”, 9. 4, 10. Four, 11. 4, 12. 4 sffd, 13. FOUR, 14. four. los angeles, ca. 2005., 15. Quatre

Four years ago today, on a quiet Saturday at home, I started the Carole Knits blog. I can’t even imagine my life without it now. Writing this blog has brought me loads of new friends, allowed me to travel to new and exciting places, inspired me to knit more and knit better, given me the opportunity to learn new skills like spinning and crocheting and photography, and just expanded my life in ways I never even thought possible.

So, on this anniversary of my blog, I’d like to give something back to all of you. I’d like to give you all a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to kpixie.

gkpixie-voucher-25

Kpixie, in case you didn’t know it, is situated right in my own little town and I really believe in supporting local businesses – especially given our current economic situation. All you have to do to be entered in the contest is leave me a comment by 12 Noon my time on Monday, February 2, 2009.

Thanks for reading, thanks for commenting, thanks for being part of Carole Knits.

    Congratulations! I have read your blog for so long. You have inspired me, with your knitting and your photography. There are so many similarities in your 100 list and mine, that at times when I read it as if I am hearing from a dear friend. Your blog has allowed me to come close to the life I miss so much. Thank you. Here is to many more great years.

    I just discovered your blog, and happy blogverisary and many more to come. Blogs make you grow, even if you live the tiniest part of the world. You look up people and where they are on a map, comment on their blogs, start a little humble email with that person, and away you go….no longer a tiny spot, but a network of friends!
