Blogiversary contest

This month, Life's A Stitch (the original - don't be fooled by imitations), is two! To celebrate, I'm hosting a contest. So talk to me, give me some feedback. Tell me what you like or don't like. Isn't that brave? Each comment relating to my blogiversary this month will get an entry.

The prize? Enough yummy Fleece Artist DK weight non-fuzzy mohair, in the Pinata colourway, to make a scarf, plus a copy of my herringbone rib scarf pattern. Not that you have to make that scarf, the yarn would make a nice Wavy or maybe a slightly heavier weight Branching Out from Knitty. If you win, you can talk to me about the prize if you want. I've got lots of neat scarf stuff in my stash and I'm flexible.

Free yarn, free pattern, I think I'll make a comment. I'm going to make it a really nice one in hopes the random entry generator recognizes the positive energy nice comments produce.

Thanks to you all: the regulars, the drop-ins and the lurkers (that's such an unappealing name for an innocent behaviour), for the taking the time to visit my blog. I hope you keep reading. Now, try your luck and leave a comment.

Happy 2 year blogiversary month! I read your blog because of your inspiring knitting, your wry and witty observations on life, and to follow the highs, lows, and in-betweens of your family life. (You've had quite a year.) Your blog makes me feel I'm chatting with a neighbor I'd like to meet in real life. Long live Life's A Stitch!

I want MORE of the Scotty news and pics!! no really, your blog is awesome. enjoy reading it.

[Susanne]

I love that you let us peek at what you are doing, in both knitting and life..look forward to an update each morning with my coffee! :) Happy Blogiversary!

[Stacey]

Happy Blogiversary. I'm one of those lurkers! I'm a RAOK'er and you're in my bloglines, so I read everytime you post.

I'm an WIP/FO person. I love seeing what people are making/frogging/finishing.

[keri]

Happy Blogiversary to you! I'm also a RAOKER and have been reading your blog for a long time.

[Miss Amy]

Congratulation on 2 years of blogging fun. I love to see your knitting in progress and then the FO's are awesome. And I am so jealous of the fact that you can go to your LYS and get STR yarn. One of these days....C-ya!

[Chris]

I owuldn't change a thing. Just keep doing what you are doing. I love your style, you don't seem to take yourself too seriously. Always a pleasure to drop in and see what you've been up to.

[Brenda]

Happy Blogiversary from a regular reader and lurker.

[Ellen]

Your blog is the next-best-thing to having you here with me for coffee a few mornings a week. Thanks!

[Dorothy]

Oh goodie - if I win can I come up and stash dive? I agree that more Marina is in order. She hasn't made an appearance in a while and we miss her. Other than that, no changes necessary.

[caro]

Yay! Happy Blogiversary! My only complaint is that I'm not close enough geographically to sit and knit with you in person.

[Dar]

Happy Second Blogversary! I do enjoy reading aout your current projects. I do like to see what projects (patterns and yarn) that others pick out. Many are not what I would personally choose....yet they do come out so beautifully. It allows me to open my mind a bit and perhaps step out of my comfort zone.

I too would LOVE to hear/see more about Miss Gracie. Her photo is actually what attracted me to your blog. Flipping through the Pacific Northewest blog ring...when your page first came up I initially thought she was a Cairn Terrier (I know Gracie...but they are indeed your cousins :+) did a double take and realized that she was a Scottish Terrier. I have a soft spot for dogs (especially terriers) that hail from Scotland, as I am beholden to a wheaton Cairn Terrier myself. :+D

Yours is 2, mine will be 3 years this month. I'm glad you started the blog. That's lovely yarn!!!!

[crazy for yarn in alabama: Darlene]

Happy, Happy Anniversary!!

I must admit I found your site by accident...found myself absolutely in love with your button...well...Gracie actually and started reading! Been hooked every since. I have you bookmarked as one of my top five favorites!! Your button has GOT to be the cutest pic of a dog I have EVER seen....and I have a schnauzer that is pretty darn cute if I do say so myself!

I appreciate the fact that you share your life, the good, the bad and the ugly!! LOL!! Your blog is so friendly and when I check in I feel like I have had a chat with my friend!

Your knitting is phenomenal and you aren't afraid to show your mistakes....which gives the "newbie" knitter like myself the feeling that stepping out and making something new doesn't require being a perfect, seasoned knitter!

You share with everyone such a great mix of family, friends, knitting, the ups and downs of it all and everything in between including sweet little Gracie!!!

Thank you for letting everyone be a part!!

[Heather]

Happy Blogiversary! Congrats on two years of blogging adventures...thanks for making me feel like every time I read your blog you've pulled up a chair and are sitting right next to me, just knitting and chatting away!

[Pat Helgerson]

Congratulations on your Blogaversary!
No yarn..just enjoy your blog.

[Helen]

I got the Herringbone Rib pattern from you recently, and I've just decided who's going to get it for Christmas - a scarf, not the pattern :) I'm going to do it in cashmere, in a 'man's' colour, like forest green or navy blue, and the stitch should lift it from the ordinary to the interesting. I'll send you a pic.

[Rosie]

Hey Li: I love reading your blog and seeing your lovely paintings, photographs, family and dog stories, and travel adventures. It is like you live in the same town again. If I win the contest, you can keep the yarn and send me a scarf. (I like the snowball scarves.) Love, Rosie

[La]

I've always liked reading you. You have a good mix of knit, pup and life to keep my interest, and that's no easy fete!

Happy anniversary!

P.S...maybe more pictures of the pooch???!

[Nadia]

Happy Blogiversary!

I'm glad to see you've come to the Nadia school of holidays -- months to celebrate, none of this cheapo "one day" stuff.

[Restless Knitter]

Coming out of lurkdom to say Happy Blogiversary! I don't think there's anything I'd want to see change. Though there's nothing wrong with more cute pup pictures, either!

[Karen]

Happy Blogiversay Li!

I wouldn't change a single thing... I like your blog just the way it is. :)

[jaci]

I have just started reading blogs about knitting. I love them. I love dogs and cats (have two of each) so I love the picture of your dog. Happy anniversary.

[Peggy]

I love seeing your FOs and I love seeing Gracee!!!
