As promised, I’m writing this post before I go off to Australia! In fact, I’m writing it exactly 1 hour before the car service comes, so you can all feel pretty important right about now. 😉
I’ve loved writing in this blog in the past year and it’s been wonderful being able to connect with other knitting bloggers and Ravelers! It’s been fun and I can’t wait until the next year to see what you all come up with as well as what I come up with. As a thank you to all readers of this blog, as well as a celebration of a year of blogging, I am holding a Blogiversary contest which has extremely exciting prizes, if I do say so myself. Don’t believe me? Well, check it out:
That’s eight – count ’em EIGHT – skeins of gorgeous beautiful yarn that I’m giving away for my blogiversary! Am I generous or what? And modest to boot! You all love me, don’t you? haha!
Here are the close ups and yarns from left to right:
Yarn Love Juliet in Ancient Forest
J. Knits Superwash Me Sock in New Jersey
Zen Yarn Garden 100% Superwash Merino in Black Plum – the picture is a little off, it’s like a dark dark dark purple – black with hints of purple, if that makes sense
Fiberphile 2-ply Squooshy in Silver Lining – you all know how much I love this!
The Sanguine Gryphon Kypria in 24. Adopted
Three Irish Girls Beckon Merino in Lagoon
Numma Numma The Regular in Organic Greens – no close up of this one, but the main picture is accurate for color… it’s a really nice bright green.
Finally at the top, Malabrigo Merino Worsted in Applewood – this is the same color that I made my Vine Yoke Cardigan out of (see post below). I have 3 extra skeins of this and thought one of you might like one to make a hat
In addition, the first place winner will get not only yarn, but this gorgeous set of stitchmarkers generously provided by Lillie of A Planet 4 Creation! These are mine that she made for me and the winner will get to choose a color from her line and she will make the markers specially for that person.
So how will this work? You have until my actual Blogiversary (Nov. 12th) to put in a comment here telling me what (if anything) you’d like to see more of in my blog. The dogs? The knits? The pics? The stories? Whatever you think. If nothing, just go ahead and say I’m perfect, I won’t mind. 😉 Also in the comment, please state your top 3 wanted skeins in order of preference. This will help me when assigning skeins to winners. After the contest is over, I will use a random number generator to pick 8 winners. This makes it more fun because there are greater chances of winning! Keep in mind, however, that you might not hear from me until I get back into the country on November 21st. If I happen to be able to post before then I will, but if not please don’t feel like I’ve been ignoring the contest! I promise I will send the skeins off to everyone. 🙂 Oh and this contest is open to any and everyone who wants to join (no matter where in the world you live). The skein might take a while to get to you if you’re far away from NYC (yes, I will probably use cheap-o shipping) but I’ll ship out to those of you outside of North America, so comment away!
In addition, for a second chance to win, blog about this post in your own blog then come back here leaving a *second* comment telling me you did so and you have another chance right there. Just like that! 😀
Good luck to all of you! I have a plane to catch now so check back in 2 weeks for Australian scenery. yay!
Lina, congrats on your one year blogiversary! I would love to see more pics of your knits (both WIPs and FOs) and your gorgeous yarn porn photos! You have great taste in yarn and photograph it so beautifully. Have a great trip down under! My faves: Fiberfile, Yarn Love Juliet, and Zen Yarn Garden. 🙂
Hmm… what I would like to see more of.. is it possible to see more knits? If so, then knits would be my answer. Yes, definitely more knits. More pictures would be great, too — that’s another thing you can never have too much of!
My top three choices:
Zen Yarn Garden
Fiberphile
Sanguine Gryphon
What fabulous pics you have…just beautiful! Especially the doggy ones!:) I love your applewood cardigan too, just might have to queue that pattern!

I love how much you love socks now! 😀 So I like looking at the beautiful socks you have been cranking out. Plus, I would not say no to more doggie pictures! 🙂
Have a wonderful time in Australia! I can’t wait to see your photos!

Zen Yarn Garden 100% Superwash Merino in Black Plum
Fiberphile 2-ply Squooshy in Silver Lining
I love your blog! I think you need even more pictures though! I love your photos. All of ’em. If you lived in southern California, I think I would probably ask you to photograph my husband and I – our Vegas elopement photos were, well, sad. The drunk lazy-eyed photog only took 8 pictures, and only 6 of them were in focus. Aaaanyhoo, I enjoy your posts & pics, here and on Rav. 🙂
Yaaarrn….ZYG, Fiberphile and J-Knits.
sarah
Oh they are all so pretty. I would say #1-Fiberphile, #2-Zen Yarn Garden & #3-JKnits or 3 Irish Girls

J.Knits
Fiberfile
Yarn Love
Thanks for the contest!
Okay… so I blogged about your contest too!
It was my first post on my new blog! (I’m really not much of a blogger yet)
http://cid-388e2efe7ed3d379.spaces.live.com/blog/
Lina, I love reading your blog! I enjoy the knits and stories, but I really love your gorgeous pictures. More dog pictures would be perfect too. 😉
Yarn: J. Knits, Zen Yarn Garden, & Fiberphile.
All I can think of is to add even more extreme knitting, superb photos, wonderful happy life news and adorable pups. All the things I’m already insanely envious of.
Oh, wait, there is one thing. Maybe a little sign that says “Kitten, you dummy, this is a photo of doggies, not yarn.” I’ve been fooled more than once, like the shot of the pups on Hallowe’en or Hitchcock lounging on your Aestlight shaw.
Thanks for the contest, and Happy Blorthday! I’d love to Adopt a Gryphon, or, since it just started raining, a Silver Lining would come in handy. If it keeps on raining, maybe I’ll wind up in a Lagoon without a paddle?
Happy Blogaversary! And dude, don’t go changin’ anything about your blog…. okay? Well, if you want to, you can 😉 cuz whatever you do it’ll be awesome.
I’m dizzy from the gloriousness of every single skein of contest yarn. So I wouldn’t know which top three to pick.
have a wonderful Austrailian adventure!
I’ve posted your contest to my blog.
More Kubrick! More Hitchcock! More luscious yarn shots.
I love all the yarn you posted (except the brown which I am anti-brown so it’s not the yarns fault). If I win, I swear I won’t rub it on my genitals. Scouts honor.
This is my first visit to your blog. ‘Kitten With A Whiplash’ pointed to way to your blogiversary.
Your Ysolda Cardi is very stylish indeed. Am I being swayed to knit garments in addition to sox?
Your generous offering of such delish yarns is wonderful.
IF I should be so lucky –
J. Knits Superwash Me Sock
Three Irish Girls
Malabrigo Applewood
I’m back to let you know I’ve posted your Blogiversary to my blog.
Bon Voyage and kick back ! ! ! ! !
Wow – I love your blog just the way it is, although I love the knitting best. I love purples and blues best so I’d pick
1) . Knits Superwash Me Sock in New Jersey
2) Zen Yarn Garden 100% Superwash Merino in Black Plum (I trust you that it’s purply)
3) Fiberphile 2-ply Squooshy in Silver Lining
But I would probably be thrilled with almost any of them.
Have a fab trip!
You are generous! Those are lovely skeins. I especially like:
J. Knits Superwash Me Sock New Jersey
Zen Yarn Garden Block Plum
Numma Numma The Regular Organic Greens
I’m looking forward to your Australia photos as they are sure to be beautiful.
I enjoy everything about your blog, especially the photos, so more of those please!

Happy Blogiversary. I’m new to your blog also, via Kitten With A Whiplash’s blog. I’m looking forward to your travel photos. I’m in awe of your photo skills. Whenever I take a picture it comes out as crayon stick figures pointing to a pile of rocks under a popcicle stick tree with one leaf. I think your blog is great as is, or to steal a phrase “You’re perfect!”. Love the dogs, they are so cute.
Choosing from a great stash of yarn like these is so difficult. If this were a shop I’d be leaving will all 8 and more besides! So I just rolled a D8 and came up with Sanguine Gryphon, Fiberphile and Zen Garden. Thanks for opportunity to win one.
Happy Blogiversary!!
I love all the photography and always come for the knitting. Some tough choices, but my favorites are:
