Here We Go Again

The last time I held a giveaway, the person who won didn't contact me, and I reposted the giveaway. And so it is again. I've gone to the Random Number Generator once again, and this time #6 came up, which is Kenyetta:

Congrats on the Knittiversary and Blogiversary!
My must-have knitting tool is the internet. From Ravelry to KnittingPatternCentral to Knitty to YouTube videos to blogs. The net has been my most valuable tool. I learned to knit from the internet!

17 December, 2008

Kenyetta, please contact me by the end of 2008 to claim your prize and send me your address. My e-mail address information is in the bottom bar of this page.

Folks, if I don't hear from Kenyetta, the sock yarn goes back into the stash!

Merry Christmas to...

All! But especially Ria! The Random Number Generator selected #15, which was this post:

Happy Knittiversary!

I'll tell you about my personal most unique knitting tool. I was at my mom's and working on unpurled cable cowls for Christmas gifts. Her cat made off with my Brittany wood cable needle. Aaacckk! Well I was using Malabrigo Chunky and pretty big needles. So I used a knife and cut a piece of a wood chopstick and then a pencil sharpener to make points. and a nailfile to sand in a little dent in the middle. Still like Brittany better, but it worked!

Now, Ria, all you have to do is e-mail me by December 27 to claim your prize and send me your address.

And on the Christmas knitting front... knitting for Small Children still isn't finished. In about a half hour I will be hopping in the car to drive to D.C., and knitting will resume. I still have half a button band and a pair of mittens. Wish me luck!

Blog posts and pictures will resume on December 30. May the next few days find you with friends and family. Merry Christmas!

Happy Happy Joy Joy!

It's my Knittiversary!

I began knitting one year ago today, December 15, 2007. I just decided that I wanted to try it. My mom had knit a scarf a couple of years prior, and one of my colleagues was a knitter, and so I asked my mom to teach me. She's left handed, and couldn't exactly remember what to do. So much for the teaching. I watched some videos, and the rest is history.

My list of knitted goods thus far:
Hats—4 baby/child, 3 adult
Fingerless Mitts—6 pairs
Cowls & Neckwarmers—3
Socks—7 baby pairs, 2 adult pairs
Dishcloths & Washcloths—14
Scarves—4 child, 6 adult
Bibs—2
Burp Cloths—2
Bathmitt—1
Tawashi—1
Headband—1
Baby Sweater—1
Baby Booties—1 pair

I'm not the Yarn Harlot, but hey. I think I've been pretty prolific.

To celebrate my Knittiversary and my Blogoversary, which is in eight days, I am having a giveaway.
