Anniversary (Contest #5)
Posted by limedragon | Filed under contests, knitting
For a while, I wasn’t sure what date to use for my blogiversary. Several dates stood out in my website’s timeline. Should I pick:
January 2000 registered this domain? No, but there’s an idea for another time.
April 10, 2004 first post while testing Movable Type? Maybe.
March 16, 2006 first post using Drupal? I think this is it.
October 15, 2006 switched to WordPress? Maybe.
It makes the most sense to choose the March 16 date as my blogiversary. I sat down one day and made the conscious effort to take pictures of and post about my knitting projects two or three times a week. I really wanted a knitting journal and this seemed the best way to do it.
Back then, I didn’t notice the specific date. Just one day earlier and it would have been the Ides of March, and a day later, St. Patrick’s Day! I also can’t believe it’s been 7 years since I got this domain.
To celebrate my blogiversary, I’m offering up a lovely skein of Socks That Rock light weight in Peaseblossom. This was one of the exclusive colorways from the 2006 Rockin’ Sock Club, so it does have a club label/band. Even if you’re not a socknitter, this yarn is great to work with and could be incorporated into a number of projects.
Picture deleted; contest long over! : )
Want to try and win this yarn? Leave a comment here by midnight Friday, March 23. 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. Good luck!!

Happy blogiversary! Beautiful yarn – thanks for the contest :)

Wow, 7 years! Happy blogiversary!
March 20th, 2007 at 8:09 am
Very cool, Limedragon. Happy blogiversary!
March 20th, 2007 at 8:52 am
Congratulations!! That yarn is BEAUTIFUL. :)
March 20th, 2007 at 8:53 am
Happy Blogiversary! May you have many more. Winning this yarn might just be the closest I get to getting into a sock club. ;)

Congrats!!
March 20th, 2007 at 9:08 am
HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY! Congratulations!
March 20th, 2007 at 9:27 am
I am finally going to get a blog of my own soon too! Congrats!
March 20th, 2007 at 9:33 am
Sounds like my many anniversaries with my DH. First call, first date, first time he made me dinner, the boinkaversary, etc. When we were planning our wedding we wanted to use one of our dates, but which date to choose? We didn’t choose the boinkaversary because that would be hard to explain to some folks.
Anyway – happy chosen anniversary! Very pretty yarn; I hope I win!
March 20th, 2007 at 9:49 am
Well, I’m certainly in! Who doesn’t love STR? :)
Happy Blogiversary!
March 20th, 2007 at 9:58 am

De-lurking to say Happy Blogiversary! Here’s to many more years…
March 20th, 2007 at 10:21 am
Happy anniversary! I think I decided that mine is March 18. Have I blogged about it? Nooooooooo… I’m a bad blogger. :)
March 20th, 2007 at 10:56 am
Congrats on your blogiversary!
March 20th, 2007 at 11:46 am
Happy Blogiversary! I decided not to mark mine this year, partially because of the issue you mentioned – when is it really? When I first installed WP, when I first made a real post, when I moved to the current location and added other interests to the mix?
March 20th, 2007 at 12:49 pm
Congrats! Happy anniversary!
March 20th, 2007 at 2:15 pm
Happy Blogversary! :-)
March 20th, 2007 at 3:31 pm
Would you believe that Peaseblossom is the yarn I’m knitting with right now? Happy Blogiversary. I missed mine.
March 20th, 2007 at 5:14 pm
Well, happy blogiversary! I don’t know what incarnation of my blog to use as the official date, either. It could be almost three years old…or if I count from when I switched to my domain name, it’s only a couple of months.
March 20th, 2007 at 6:42 pm
Wow, I barely even had a computer 7 years ago!
Happy Blogiversary!!
March 20th, 2007 at 7:30 pm
Congrats on a long and prosperous blogation. You are an official blogologist!
March 20th, 2007 at 7:34 pm
Hey Harriet! Congratulations on your anniversary…no matter what the date.
I hope you keep using this web address for another 7 years…I love to see the pretty socks you knit!

Congratulations. Limedragon is such a catchy name, and what drew me here in the first place.
March 21st, 2007 at 10:08 am
But SO much better than the Ides of March, or St. Patrick’s Day – your blogiversary is on St. Urho’s Day! The Finnish saint of the grasshopper! And the yarn almost matches the St. Urho’s day colors.
(see http://www.brownielocks.com/urho.html for more info)

March 21st, 2007 at 12:44 pm
happy blogiversary! :) now I need to figure out when my own would be. the yarn is yummy. I had no idea that you could use the str yarn for other projects..now I’m intrigued! ;)
March 21st, 2007 at 12:48 pm
happy blogiversary! or something. that’s an odd word. doesn’t it look funny to you? Hey, at least you have a few days to choose from! I can’t remember when I started mine…a while before I posted. And my first post is awful (hope nobody read it!). :)
March 21st, 2007 at 1:05 pm
Congrats on your blogiversary! Love that STR! :)

March 21st, 2007 at 2:15 pm
Happy blogiversary! My first is coming up and I have the same dilemma about dates, but I’m breezing by the domain registration in favor of the first post. Cause I’m a copycat. :o)

Congratulations on your blogiversary. It’s amazing, isn’t how fast it goes, and how we become a part of the “community” when we blog?
Take care. ;0)

Happy happy! (7 years indeed…) I wonder where the name “Peaseblossom” comes from.

What a beautiful colourway!
Yeah, it shocks me too how long I’ve been a blogger. My first post was something like 8 years ago. I wonder who the very first knit-blogger was?
March 22nd, 2007 at 7:50 am
Happy blogiversary.
And that really is gorgeous yarn. Someday I am actually going to be able to lay my hands on some STR yarn and find out for myself if it’s as wonderful as people say.
And someday pigs will fly!
March 22nd, 2007 at 12:25 pm
Happy Blogiversay!
Doesn’t time fly?
