Contests

The Tour de Fleece started Saturday and like any good athlete, I did some training in preparation. Spinning training sure is more fun than other types of training. Just saying. This is Nightshade, the Spunky Eclectic Fiber Club selection for the month of May. And this is Tulips, the Spunky Eclectic Fiber Club selection for…

I have been a very lucky blogger lately, winning prizes just about everywhere. Okay, not everywhere. But enough that I need to tell you about my prezzies. First up: ALL of this yarn was a gift from my grrlfriends over at kpixie. Missa and Jessica take really good care of me. And you guys know…

Update: I’m home and everything went fine. The screening was completely normal – YAY. And the whole thing wasn’t bad at all, even the IV, which was the scariest part for me. I think i helped that they let me keep knitting right up until I went into the examination room. Thank you all for…

Hey! Guess what I forgot? My blog’s 2 year anniversary. It was back on January 29th. Way to go, eh? After all that talk about wanting to have 10,000 comments before the blogiversary, I totally forgot. Thanks, Kristi, for reminding me! But you know what? It’s okay because I came up with a better way…

My weekend was good in a bunch of ways – most of them even fun. I started on a new pattern of Kristi’s that I’m test knitting for her. We had a romantic dinner out. We went to see The Queen and did a little shopping. All of that was fun. The one thing that…

This just in . . . the winner of the “Guess When Carole Will Finish Adamas Contest” is: Anne! She was the 11th commenter and that’s the number the Random Number Generator selected as my prize winner. I don’t have any fancy way to prove this, you’re just going to have to trust me on…

Picture me, on Friday, innocently reading blogs and leaving comments. You know, like I do every day. So, I’m reading and reading and I come to the latest post at Seed Stitch. And Cheryl, like Julia and Beth, is all excited about the release of Anne’s Wing of the Moth pattern. Cheryl says she wants…

I really wasn’t going to enter this Amazing Lace Challenge. I had an idea, right from the beginning, but I didn’t think I’d have time to get the photos I wanted. And I figured since I had already won Challenge #3 (thank you, again!) that I didn’t want to push my luck by entering again.…

I know it’s a rare thing for me to post on a Friday but . . . I’ve been nominated as a finalist in the Amazing Lace Poetry Challenge. Can I hear a woo? And also a hoo? My competition is tough and voting closes on Sunday. If you’re inclined to vote for me, click…

Here it is, the moment you have all been waiting for. What? You haven’t been pacing the floor for a week? Wondering if it’s you? C’mon, you know you have. So, without further ado, it gives me great pleasure to announce the winner of the movie recommendation contest is: Ms. Too Much Wool herself, our…

I had a very pleasant weekend. It was great to have two whole days with no holiday pressure, no social commitments and just plain nothing that had to be done. I was able to spin on Saturday and I’m almost finished with the BFL. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens with the colors when…

Sunday is January 1st and I’m itching to start something new. It’s that whole start of the new year, start of a new project thing. Apparently, I’m not the only one. This desire to knit something new for the new year is all over blogland. You know me, the proverbial lemming. Besides, I’m ready to…
