First things first…
Sam thanks you for your patience, understanding and well-wishes. While he’s still not feeling very well, he did take a little bit of time today to relax in the sunshine. I’m not sure why, but he did whine a bit less while outdoors. Perhaps the fresh air really did make him feel a little better or maybe the flies lent some distraction from the pain. Either way, it was nice to see him laze about - although why he chose the driveway instead of the grass is beyond me.
By the way, we don’t usually dress Sammy in t-shirts, but the vet suggested we keep something on him because he likes to chew on his splint. Believe it or not, he actually wears a larger size than my husband - an XL.
Now onto the news I know you’ve been waiting for…
The favorites I collected for my Blogiversary contest have been posted. Go check them out. I know you’re going to enjoy exploring all of the links that were sent in. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - there are so many awesome patterns out there to try! My list of future projects has grown by leaps and bounds.
Look at all the entries! Did you keep your fingers crossed?
And the winners of our Blogiversary contest? Click below to find out.
Congratulations to the winners! Ladies, please send me your snail mail addresses so I can get your goodies out to you.
And to everyone else? You all are awesome! Thank you so much for helping me celebrate my blogiversary! Not only do I love all of the links that you shared, but I have a whole new bunch of blogs to read and enjoy. I really had a great time and I hope you did too. Thank you again!
Note: There are also links to the contest favorites in my sidebar, so you can look for project ideas or information anytime you’d like. I’ve also left the comments open, so you can share favorites whenever you feel like it. Come to think of it, I better work on my own list of favorites. Enjoy!

I haven’t forgotten the contest, I’m just very slow in getting the list of favorites posted. While I haven’t mentioned this on my page until now, our dog (Samson) was hit by a car on Wednesday. He’s doing well, but his front leg is broken in two places. He was released from the vet’s office yesterday and now he begins the long, slow process of healing. Sammy is not quite used to his splint yet and he’s still feeling all the aches and pains of his injuries, so he’s being more of a baby than usual. He wants to be next to me constantly and he whines and cries when I get too far away. Unfortunately my desk is in the corner of the room, between the wall and the woodstove, and there’s just not enough room for both Sam and my chair. Therefore the favorites page can only be written in short spurts, because I just can’t bear to hear him cry when he discovers he can’t be right beside me.
I am going to continue working on things tonight and both the favorites page and the winners will be posted by morning. I promise I’m not procrastinating, just trying to keep my sweet doggie comfortable and happy. Thank you so much for being patient and understanding.

You know how I said you had until 12:00 AM EST on June 7, 2007 to enter the contest?
Well, since I won’t be able to post a complete list of shared patterns until Saturday, thanks to a crazy schedule and a few ups-and-downs being experienced here at my house, I’m extending that deadline to June 8, 2007 (Friday) at 8:00 PM EST. That will allow me enough time to add last minute links to the future “Favorites Page” and still get everything up and posted by Saturday afternoon.
So c’mon! Don’t procrastinate! Enter the contest ASAP!
Oh! By the way, the winners will also be posted on Saturday afternoon. It will be sometime after my daughter’s dance recital, probably around 4:00 PM. Keep your fingers crossed and good luck!

Today I was asked the following question about my Blogiversary contest :
“I can’t choose a favorite pattern. Can I send you patterns I really like instead?”
My answer: Let’s face it, there are tons and tons of fabulous patterns out there to look at and choose from and picking just one to call “favorite” can be an almost impossible task. I don’t want this contest to be difficult or time consuming, I just want to have fun! So please feel free to share your favorite patterns, patterns you’ve created, patterns you’ve stumbled across and liked, patterns you think are original, patterns you think are cute - just send along those patterns and tell your friends to do the same!
Note: Complete rules for the Blogiversary Contest can be found in the post below.

My blog had it’s first birthday last Sunday and, being the procrastinator that I am, I’m just getting around to celebrating it now. I’m hoping all of you will help me to celebrate by participating in my very first Procrastiknitter contest. I’m giving away some great prizes, so c’mon and join in on the fun!
I would like for you to share with me some of your most treasured knitting, crochet and/or looming patterns. For each of the six categories below, please send me the name of one of your favorite patterns and the name of the book or URL where that particular pattern can be found. For each category you complete, your name will be entered into our Procrastiknitter raffle. Pretty cool, don’t you think? That’s 6 chances to win right there!
- Hats and Scarves
- Shawls and Wraps
- Hands and Feet (mittens/gloves/socks/slippers)
- Bags and Purses
- Other (sweaters, baby, toys, kitchen, bath, gifts, etc.)
- Other (sweaters, baby, toys, kitchen, bath, gifts, etc.)
That’s not all. Since my weblog doesn’t have a huge following, I need some help letting folks know about my blogiversary. How about lending me a hand? Take a minute to let your fiber-loving friends know about this contest. For each friend that enters the contest, your name will get entered into the raffle one more time - up to 4 times. C’mon! The more the merrier, right?
To enter, send your answers to ms.procrastiknitter. Please include your name, e-mail address and webpage URL (if you have one). If someone else told you about the contest, please let me know who it was so that they don’t miss out on their additional raffle entries and, if you have a button for your webpage that you’d like to share, send that along too. I’ll accept entries until midnight EST on June 7, 2007. After that I will put together a page of everyone’s answers (all those fantabulous pattern links) and I’ll have one of my kiddos draw the names of the winners.
Omigoodness! I’m so excited!
Now for the prizes:
PRIZE #1
Lorna’s Laces Shepard Sock Yarn
Color #146 Flames
PRIZE #2

This is going to be fun, fun, fun! So c’mon folks! Remember you have until 12:00 AM EST on June 7, 2007 to get those e-mails to me, so send along those favorite patterns. And to everyone who enters… good luck!
Note: I will let you know that I received your list of favorites by replying to your e-mail. I don’t usually have a problem with Gmail, but if you do not receive an e-mail reply from me within 24-36 hours, please let me know by commenting on this weblog. Thanks a bunch!
