This award has been making it's way around blogland. I am thrilled to say that someone (thanks
Teri) nominated me by name - as well as the random if you are blogger, I'm awarding this.
Here are the official rules:
1. Copy the award to your site - 2. Link to the person from whom you received the award - 3. Nominate 7 other bloggers - 4. Link to those on your blog - 5. Leave a message on the blogs you nominated.
This has been going around blogland for awhile now and I've been slow on posting this. So, I'm going to award to the following people, in no particular order:
1.
Jessica. She is a friend in real life. We went to visit her in April and she is a lovely woman with a wicked sense of humor. She blogs about her dogs, her life in New York, and her avoidance of doing her homework.
2.
Chan. Miss Chan blogs about her dogs, her knitting and everything else that composes her life. She's busy working and amazingly enough we have alot of the same thoughts on things. Although she doesn't sew or like vanilla - it's okay, we still like her :)
3.
Camilla cracks me up. She has 5 children that she homeschools. Awhile ago when she couldn't find what she wanted for her crafty needs locally, she decided to mortgage her home to the hilt and without any bank loans whatsoever, she opened a fabric and yarn shop. That takes guts.
4.
Golden Tracks or Miss Y. She is a knitter, weight watcher, and dog lover - not particularly in that order. She doesn't always blog regularly, she will often let life get in the way. When she does blog you can see the love for her dogs as well as her enjoyment of knitting.
5.
Sue. Sue is an awesome woman. She has a passel of dogs. She is also a crafter, she knits and sews. She spends alot of her time crafting for charities, either children or dogs. You can't fault a person for that.
6.
Leslie. I originally found Leslie's blog through another blogger who no longer blogs. She makes incredible knitted items, isn't afraid to figure out how to make what she sees in her head and share the instructions. There are times when she shares her cookie of the week. I have found a couple of very good recipes through her.
And finally I would be in big trouble if I didn't give the last award to:
7.
The Princess. Many of you have figured out she is my daughter. So, even though it's obvious I'm biased, I think she is a lovely young woman. She knits, but mostly she is a full-time live-in Nanny. She blogs about The Littles in her life and finds creative ways to show them in their activities without showing their faces. She can be funny.
Okay - that was a nice way to get a blog post in when I didn't really have anything to say. Thanks so much to everyone who stops by and leaves comments. You have no idea what a difference it makes to my day.
These are the re-knit of the socks for Miss L. I have called her several times and had her come over and try them on several times along the way.
I tried something new - I increased in the leg, but did too much too fast. But because they were longer than the last s
ocks I knit for her, I wanted to make sure they stayed up. I think they'll be fine on, but they look kinda funky from the side.
Speaking of looking funky- while I really like the after thought heel, I think they look kinda funky laid out flat.
How about a close up of that texture though? I still think it's really pretty. I even made myself a pair. So - do these count as the 2nd pair of finished socks in 2009?
