Happy 100th Post! CONTEST TIME!!

CONTEST ENDS TONIGHT (1/23/08) AT 9PM EST!

So in honor of my 100th post (and since I haven't had a FO in a while and I'm going to the cape this weekend) I thought we'd have a little contest!

a

I want to know what your fiber fantasy is. No nothing dirty. I want to know what your perfect fiber day is or your dream yarn or project. Anything! I know we're all really into our craft so what's your dream? Do you want to have a pattern published in Vogue Knitting? Do you want to learn cables? Anything I mean it. What do you long to do?

Points:

a

1 for posting your fiber fantasy

1 for linking to my blog/contest (you have to let me know though since I can't really check everyone)

I'm going to keep this going for about a week, let's say next wednessday, I really would like people to have the time to really think this one out. I will then put everyone's name in a hat (one slip per point) and pick a winner! The winner will receive a little package of knitting goodies which I will be MORE than happy to pick out at my LYS (trust me this might be my favorite part). I will then ship it out to you. And don't worry if you don't live in the states you can still participate! This is my thank you to you guys (particularly my regulars) for reading.

I can't wait!!!

UPDATE! I will give an extra point to anyone who can tell me what the either the sock gap or giggle loop are. Of course you get two point if you tell what both are!

Contest...not mine but still

So there’s a contest over at my cyber knitting friend Anna’s blog. What would you do with $200 to spend on knitting related goods? This was my answer:

I don't know. But based on how I spend when I have some extra cash put away
for a "knitting-spree" I think I would buy whatever caught my eye or sense of
touch. I don't think I could be "practical" with my purchases. I'd probably walk
around the store or fair (i'd like to be a fair if I had a choice) and just feel
and see everything I could. I just buy whatever called me to it. I love color
and soft textures. I like to feel like I'm melting into the fiber. So anything
that makes me feel like that I'd buy. Sometimes you just know you and a couple
of hanks are meant to be. And well a cool knitting bag. I have a problem with
knitting bags.

Yup that's what I'd do.

The contest runs till Friday (TONIGHT) at 7pm.

Good luck!

And I’m officially done posting for the month. I need a break…hopefully when I get back online you will have a new pair of socks to ogle. I’m becoming WAY too obsessed with sock knitting.

Happy end to blog post month!
