Comments on: The Winner is… http://slowknitter.com/2006/12/31/the-winner-is/ slowly going where everyone has gone before Fri, 18 May 2012 08:47:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.3 By: kristen http://slowknitter.com/2006/12/31/the-winner-is/#comment-410 kristen Mon, 01 Jan 2007 03:12:16 +0000 http://slowknitter.com/2006/12/31/the-winner-is/#comment-410 Today was just a Really Good Day, and Wen started it all. W00ty w00ty w00t! I won a second blog contest because I gave blood, too. If my luck keeps up, I may have to be a Yarn Fairy, too. That's actually one of my goals, to be able to Give Back to the knitters like you're doing - once things settle around here. I didn't realize that I was the FIRST person to leave you a note on Diaryland, but I do know that I was reading your blog from the very first post - which makes me think I found it through the <a href="http://members.diaryland.com/" rel="nofollow">Most Recently Updated</a> section. Or maybe Pork Tornado. Funny, there are lots of really cool people at Diaryland, but then they all find better blogging sites. Hmm! J: Oh, yarn can go bad. Yarn Juju builds up, for good or bad, while it stews in a stash. If you pass it over for too many projects, it will develop negative energy, and when you finally do try to use it for a project, it'll get all splitty and the stitches will rearrange themselves on the needles. The only way to undo this curse is to give the yarn to someone else. It resets the yarn's memory (unless it was cursed at the time it was skeined).

I read lots of blogs daily but don't have one and I can count on one hand the bloggers that respond to a non-blogger comment...even when you are providing them with (in this case, crochet) an answer they've been looking for regarding a stitch problem. It's almost like most regard non-bloggers as red-headed stepchildren...and I think it's just plain rude. Okay, enough whining from me... I, too, wish you'd blog more often but understand that Life sometimes gets in the way. Count me in for the KFYS knitalong...and I'd be happy to provide photographic proof of my knitting. lol I think it’s a measure of your character that you are welcoming to non-bloggers as well.

I am knitting from my stash with a couple of exceptions. I will be knitting models and I get yarn for doing that, and I will of course be getting sock yarn. Congrats to your brother and Kristen for both of their wins. What a great way for both of them to start the new year. Happy New Year!!! Barb Thanks for the buttons.

I don't have a huge stash, and I usually buy yarn with one project in mind, but sometimes it doesn't work out for one reason or another. I, as well, am definately not participating either. In fact, I just got done ordering some of that camel yarn. *happy dance* You said it perfectly.

I got the Harlot's "Rules" for Christmas and took the little test about the level of your of your yarn addiction. I was an "a," to all of which she said, emphatically--"Get yourself to the nearest yarn shop! You have NOTHING!" Clearly my 2007 will have to be spent in stash enhancement! Oh my! Hi!
