Contest #3


16.Oct.06 ~ 12:50 pm

I don’t have a name for this contest. It’s sort of blog-warming, re-opening, or makeover themed, because I’ve just switched my blog software to WordPress. There is a yummy yarn prize involved. All you have to do for a chance to win is leave a comment! It’s not required, but I welcome feedback on my new blog appearance.

The comments will be assigned a number in the order they’re left. I’ll use a Random Number Generator to select a lucky winner.

And the yarn prize? It’s a skein of All Things Heather yarn (fingering/sock weight, 100% superwash merino, ~560 yards) in Wicked!

All Things Heather - Wicked

Deadline to leave a comment: Saturday October 21, 2006. Good Luck!

UPDATE: Link to All Things Heather fixed. So sorry!

    Oh, gorgeous yarn! Love the new look.

  4. Heather on 16.Oct.06 ~ 8:37 pm

    Chris got me thinking I should take a look at other MN knitter blogs so I stopped by. That’s gorgeous yarn with my name on it (literally) - maybe destiny will get me to start knitting socks.

  5. Pink Dandelion on 17.Oct.06 ~ 4:59 am

    That IS yummy yarn!! So are all these contests your way of getting off the yarn diet faster? ;-)

    And wait… aren’t people supposed to give YOU presents for a blog warming? ya know… like a house warming? Or are you using Hobbit philosophy?

  6. Connie on 17.Oct.06 ~ 6:50 am

    I LOVE the color of this yarn - it looks wonderfully soft. The blog looks great! I like the way it is layed out - easy to read and locate things.

  11. JalynR on 17.Oct.06 ~ 10:12 am

    The new blog looks great. But I also liked the colors and look of the old blog!

  12. Nicole on 17.Oct.06 ~ 10:32 am

  15. Christy on 17.Oct.06 ~ 11:11 am

    ooh, welcome to WP. I love using it!

    I was expecting Wicked yarn to have a bit of green in it… (no, I’m not upset that I missed getting tix to see it when it was in town over the summer. why do you ask?) still a gorgeous color!

  16. Kristi aka Fiber Fool on 17.Oct.06 ~ 11:24 am

    Chris sent me your way so I don’t know what your blog looked like before, but I really like. It is clean and fresh yet has a lot of the info I’m curious about when I first visit a blog.

    Happy Blog Warming!

  17. Julie on 17.Oct.06 ~ 11:34 am

    Hi, I just came over from Chris’ blog (Stumbling over Chaos). I think your page looks great - I really like the colors.

  18. Heather on 17.Oct.06 ~ 1:01 pm

    I didn’t see your old site but I love your new header. I hope you like wordpress. I recently moved here too and love it so far. Cheers to the new look! :)

  19. Guinifer on 17.Oct.06 ~ 1:06 pm

    I commented yesterday on how much I like the new look, but that shot of yarn really adds a nice dash to the site!

  20. V on 17.Oct.06 ~ 1:17 pm

    Wow…nice yarn! I’ll have to stay tuned to see how you like wordpress. Blogger is just getting me down.

  21. Tracey on 17.Oct.06 ~ 1:27 pm

  42. Frarochvia on 18.Oct.06 ~ 11:00 am

    Woohoo! Yarn!

    Ahem.

    This site loads much better on my sidekick. So for that alone I’m very happy. :D

  43. Nicole on 18.Oct.06 ~ 11:08 am

    Another contest?!!? How could I pass up the opportunity? The new look is sleek but readable… love it.

  44. Phyllis on 18.Oct.06 ~ 12:11 pm

    Love the look of your blog. I love how everything fits on either side. Great job!

  45. Debra on 18.Oct.06 ~ 1:12 pm

    Welcome to WordPress! :)

  46. Jennifer on 18.Oct.06 ~ 5:31 pm

  47. Wendy on 18.Oct.06 ~ 6:59 pm

    I like the name of your blog and that yarn is beautiful. I also joined socktoberfest!

  48. Tomo on 18.Oct.06 ~ 8:18 pm

    Ooooooh, we likes! I went looking for a dragon scarf pattern and look what we found! And a contest just for blabbing? Wow!!!

  49. kmkat on 18.Oct.06 ~ 10:16 pm

    I found you from Chris’s Stumbling, etc. website. I might have named that yarn Cherry Oreos or Poodle Skirt, though; Wicked needs to have some green in it.

  50. Helen on 18.Oct.06 ~ 10:45 pm

    Nice blog!

  51. ldymosquito on 19.Oct.06 ~ 7:07 am

    I love your logo!

  52. lorinda on 19.Oct.06 ~ 8:33 am

    Harriet! The blog looks great. I shall be coming to you for WP advice! Like the wide-open format.

    And the yarn is nice, too. ;)

  53. Jenn on 19.Oct.06 ~ 8:38 am

    Beautiful yarn! Hope you like wordpress. :)

  54. laurie on 19.Oct.06 ~ 12:25 pm

    I got here from another blog and i have to say wordpress looks great! *bookmarked*

  55. nihal on 19.Oct.06 ~ 1:45 pm

    wow! i love those colors!
    and congrats on your blog. .i have a wordpress (free version) blog also and i can sya that it is a lot more pro than others. and love this layout you have, 3 columns are always better. i can never have enought place with the 2 column default ones my blogspot one used to have..

    i added your blog to my fav bloglines list, if you don’t mind…

  56. Christine on 19.Oct.06 ~ 9:13 pm

    Love the new look!

  57. OzKnitter on 20.Oct.06 ~ 1:08 am

    Howdy Ma’am. Just popped over to update my RSS feed (it wouldn’t let me do it the other day).

    I really like the new look. I think the darker background really makes your banner “pop”.

  58. Stephania/Moirae on 20.Oct.06 ~ 2:01 am

    Congratulations on the new blog! If you need any wordpress help, which I highly doubt given the polished look of your site, just drop on by and leave me a note. I’ll do what I can.

    That’s very pretty yarn, but, whatever you are linking to where it says “All Things Heather” isn’t working.

  59. Kelle on 21.Oct.06 ~ 8:51 pm

    Hey, nice job. I’m contemplating a move too but still haven’t made it there yet. Perhaps, sometime when I have a little more time to mess around I will.

No yarn left for stitches.
