Today is my 2nd Blogiversary!!!
Who would have thought that this would lead to the many, many friends I've made worldwide by writing my piddly, sometimes boring little posts! I have to admit that I had NO idea what I was doing when I started...I've enjoyed every single moment, and feel that even though I may not get to meet all those I chat with (though it's a goal to meet as many as I can)...we'll be forever friends. I've said it a million times...creating this blog has been such a rich and rewarding experience, I'd do it again in a heartbeat!...
Now....a Blogiversary calls for a contest! This is a SIMPLE one to enter...
What does every blogger live for? Well, yes if you are a knit blogger the answer is yarn...but I'm looking for another answer.
Comments....Comments....Comments! I know there are a lot of people who cruise by my blog, but the not everyone leaves a comment. I think the most I've had in 2 years has been 16. I'd like more!
SO...Your mission is...leave me a comment, tell others via a blog post about my contest...be sure and let me know where you read about my contest (I'd love to meet more bloggers)....see I just love saying contest...if you chose to complete this mission...there will be a "wool prize" in your future...the winner will be chosen at random.
This post will self-destruct (contest will end) on November 1st...(queue music) Lets see some comments!!!
Oh...the other historic moment that happened today...my FAVORITE BIL was born!! Happy B-day Jerry!!
Now...what's a knit blog without some kind of "Knitting Content"? My ongoing UFO, Civil War Shawl (I started the KAL back in March...now they are on their 3rd round with the KAL...and I'm not finished), man~this shawl is taking forever...it's so big that I can't stretch it all out and knitting one row takes forever! This is why I have multiple projects going...
Keep on Knittin' & Spinnin'!!!

You have created a wonderful place for knitters to spend a little bit of time!
Happy Blogiversary =) I keep forgetting my own - sad. The shawl is really REALLY pretty. You're gonna be SO happy when it's finished!
Happy Anniblogversary!!
You know Robin, your blog was the very first one I read..I came via YT..and just fell in love with your format and being very blog ignorant..having no idea you lived in the area..and now..we've even met!..It was a while before I blogged but I continued to sneak over to your 'Coop' and see what was going on.
The Shawl..is breathtaking!!...
Happy Knitting and Spinning~~
Happy blogiversary, Robin! Hope you have many, many more. I so enjoy reading your posts. And let me tell you, that Civil War Shawl just took my breath away. Happy, Happy!
Congrats! I know how that feels. Januarary would be 2 years for me. I will put you on my blog tonight when I do my daily travel update! :)
Happy Blogiversary! I'm so glad I found you through the Football-Along. You have enriched my life in so many ways.
Love the shawl.
How bout them Cowboys?
Congratulations on 2 years of writing, meeting people and having fun! More importantly that is an amazing shawl!!!
Happy blogiversary, and happy birthday to your brother-in-law!
Happy Blogiversary! I really enjoy reading your blog. I mean, hey, a blog about knitting and chickens--what' not to like??
That shawl is stunning--wow!
Here's to many more blog years!
Well if someone doesn't beat me to it in the next few seconds, I should be your 17th comment??!! Happy Blogiversary!! Although it wasn't through your blog that I "met" you, I'm certainly glad I have and enjoy your blog as one of my regular reads. The shawl is amazing. This one will be spectacular when it's finished. :o)
Happy Blogiversary! Your shawl is just amazing and congrats on sticking with such a huge project. I think it was you who found me, and I am glad to have gotten to know you a bit the past two years. Remind me to send you a link to my neighbor, Stephanie's blog; she does knitting and chickens too!
I enjoyed the picture of your shawl. I wanted to try it, but the amount of knitting was rather daunting.
Happy Blogiversary and I found you through a link from http://calgalatrpi.blogspot.com/. And I'm a good Indian, so I followed directions and came to wish you well.
Happy happy blogiversary! wow, two years!
As you well know, I love your blog, your writing and reading about what you're up to, where you're going and where you've been, always a treat.
That shawl just takes my breath away... :^)
I love your shawl and am VERY interested in Kauni. I originally found my way to you by way of "For Love of Fiber" Robin but now you are on my bloglines!! :)
Happy blogiversary!! Your shawl is beautiful by the way.
Oh and I heard about your contest from Jennsquared. :)
A belated Happy Blogiversary all the way from Montserrat!!!
The shawl is gorgeous and will be well worth it when it's done.
Belated Blogversary!!!!!!! Dambed puter wouldn't let me comment yesterday!!! Hell that means mine is sometime soon too!
So so so glad you were my secret pal or I would never have known I had a "soul sister" out there!
We have spoken, only once, but I sure can't wait till we finally get to meet when you come over to Scotland next year!David and Jack won't get a word in :)
I knew I forgot something. Your CWS is beautiful.
I'll let you into a little secret.....mine isn't done either! I'm on the border and it is a nightmare!
Comment 25 (I think!):P
Happy Blogiversary to YOU!!! The shawl is absolutely beautiful! Love the center. I hope you don't mind but I'm tagging you for 8 random things. This is like passing on the recipe chain letter -- you pass it on and hope people don't mind.
