Toni nominated me for a Rockin’ Girl Blogger Award. Thank you!
The hard part of accepting this is that I am supposed to nominate 5 other girl bloggers in return – I am reluctant to do it only because I don’t want this to feel cliquey or anything. I really admire the women whose blogs I read for a great many reasons and encourage you to check out the list on the sidebar. But I will narrow the list down to the following:
1) Cynthia @ Two Wooden Sticks and a Ball of Wool My very first online ‘friend’ who somehow found my blog when even I paid it next to no attention! Cynthia has undertaken, and called attention to, some truly significant projects to help others. She also has a stash to die for. Seriously.
2) Elizabeth @ A Mingled Yarn Not only is she one of the fastest knit bloggers out there, she sews, she travels, she reads extensively (including aloud) AND she teaches Shakespeare. This is a woman I marvel at (and envy!) copiously.
3) Sheree @ She Knits Shizknits A very talented craftswoman who blogs her work and her children’s. Her photography is incredible. Her Love Thursday posts manage to be both uplifting and grounding at the same time.
4) Dorothy @ Knitting Stuff and Going On and On A knit designer whose patterns have fabulous names like ‘Allo Guv’nr Fingerless Gloves. She has created a knit Swiffer cloth – yes! I am not sure there is another blogger I read who so encourages me to clean my house. 😉
5) Marie @ Yarn Slayer A knitting designer who homeschools her 5 children and blogs with humour and an open heart.
Like Toni, I am also going to list Deirdre and Yvette two bloggers I was privileged to get to know during Secret Pal swaps.
Look for some knitting news in my next post. I leave you with a pic from our trip to the city yesterday and another addition to my 2007 Reads page.
Gee Ms. Scarlett you are too kind (and thanks for giving me the head’s up – I am hoping to be back in blogging form soon and I will pass along the award). Thanks for thinking of me!
Well, thank you! I will be thinking about this all day today and do up mine tomorrow.
Congrats! You are pretty rockin!
