WOW! Even with the hard(er) question and the email, you people really come out for a contest! Nice to meet all the newbies, hope you stick around! The answer, which almost all of you got, was PURLS OF WISDOM. Silly and pretentions and I changed it after a month or two. The funniest answer I received was from Mrs. Pilkington. She told me she thought it was Purls of Wisdom, but she wasn’t sure. WASN’T SURE?! As of yesterday, she still HAD A LINK TO IT ON HER BLOG!! 😉 I think she’s since taken it down. Love you Missus P!
Anyway, I know you’re not all hanging around to hear me blab. You want to know if you won. I’d want to know too, and since I’m too tired and overworked and anxious today to make you wait, I’ll just give you the winner. Right now. No. Now. Okay. NOW!
Yay Anne! Congratulations!
Showcase #3 is shaping up to be pretty darn good, if I don’t say so myself. The questions WILL be getting harder though, so maybe it’s time to brush up on your January One knowledge. I’m just saying.
Work continues apace. I fear if I slow down I’ll never get back up to speed. There’s still A LOT to get done. So much I haven’t knit for TWO WHOLE DAYS! I know. I’m really feeling it too. I’m anxious. Disjointed. Out of sorts. All because I haven’t been knitting. It’s hell I tell you. Tonight. Tonight I knit if it kills me.
Since I’ve got nothing else to report, I’ll be going now. I miss you all. I feel very unconnected to so many things these days: my blog. My husband. MY LIFE! Better days ahead! I can see the light!
Nah, Purls of Wisdom is not pretentious, just not as original and memorable as January One, which fits your blog so nicely. Here’s wishing you a chance to catch a breath during this hectic holiday season. Your contests are fun.
yay!! ooh, i’m so excited!
okay, now go sit down now and catch your breath. 🙂
Yay for Anne! She’ll love those sheepy little earrings! And we’re that much closer to your birthday, Cara. What’s on your birthday wish list this year?
Think hard… think really hard of a good question next week that’ll make us all have to work for the answer!! 🙂
Oh, and I really know how you feel about not knitting. You know the stress is really getting to you when you’re either too busy or too exhausted to knit. And it feels like the very best therapy when you can finally get back to it. (((Hugs))) Take care and it’ll all come together for ya. 🙂
Not pretentious at all – I liked it.
Congrats to Anne 🙂
i feel you with these past few days being so stressful. i know i couldn’t concentrate on anything let alone knitting yesterday – what’s worse is when you try to knit anyway but aren’t paying attention and you have to frog what you did over and over again and that just gets you even more stressed… oh boy. I’m glad there’s a light – it Will Grow Brighter.
are you sure you didn’t send me a present??
Congratulations Anne! :o)
Cara – thank you for having these contests. They are so fun! I hope you’re soon able to knit so you can relax and de-stress…gotta be in the right frame of mind for your birthday!!
love the new shirts! i’ve decided to revel in my dunderheadedness, because if i don’t, who will? 🙂
better days ahead, indeed. sending peaceful, knittish thoughts and a big hug.
OK, I think there’s a market building for a little pamphlet called ‘January One for Idiots’.
There’s a lot to know. It reminds me of studying Trusts and Estates for the bar exam.
Love the new t-shirt and especially the black Got Gauge. I get a lot of comments from the non-knitters about my white one. It’s very educational actually. xoxo Kay
Way to go Ann!
Cara, keep up the positive attitude. Just keep thinking knit a little, work a little, knit a little, work a little….
I so understand about the work thing, knitting and the holidays.I have frogged EVERYTHING I have started since Friday and if I don’t find some compatible “Landscape” for a chunky scarf that is half done I will be frogging that and starting over. AND it has to be gifted THIS Friday YIKES! Love love your blog. especially your pictures. I think it gets better..at least by your birthday for sure.
What Positive Vibes we all get from this januaryone comments…(Little Purls of Wisdom we all want to share) I enjoy reading it all, just wanted to Thank you Cara for starting it all.
