Anniversary - Whaddya know!



Despite what it says over there under Monthly Archives, I have been blogging since October of 2003 - 6 years!  I can’t quite believe it.  I honestly thought I’d get bored with it after a year or so and I grant you, I haven’t always been the most diligent poster in the world :)  But, I hadn’t counted on meeting all you exceptional folks and making such dear friends along the way.  You all have immeasurably enriched my life and for that, I am profoundly grateful.

Therefore, it seems a little recognition is called for!



I would like to offer these two skeins of bulky wool.  I dyed them yesterday and Myria whimsically dubbed the color Emma’s Teal.  The specs (per each) are:

Content: 100% Peruvian Highland Wool
Weight: Bulky Weight
Gauge: 3 - 3.75 sts = 1” on #10 - 11 needles (6.0mm-8.0mm)
Quantity: 137 yards/100 gram hank
Care: Hand Wash/Dry Flat



I am also including a pair of old-style Brittany black walnut needles, size 10.5 US (6.5 mm).  These are 14” long so they’ll handle quite a few stitches and they’re the perfect size with which to work this yarn. 



All you have to do is leave a comment to this post and I will randomly select a name next Thursday morning (November 5th) and post the winner. 

Thank-you all for your kindness, friendship and support over the last six years.  Let’s hope for another six!
