Happy 2nd Bloggiversary Contest

Alright, so I am quickly approaching the 2nd anniversary of this blog (last week of August). So, to celebrate the momentous event (not) I present to you a bloggiversary contest!







Here are the details:

1) To enter, you must comment to this post no later than August 31, 2008 at 8:00pm. To add a marginal amount of "challenge" to the contest, you will have to tell me in your comment your answer to the following question:

What has been your favorite post on my blog since its inception in August 2006, (not counting this contest post) and why?

You can only enter once. But! There is a way to get more entries (see below).

2) If you refer to the contest on your own blog and link people here, you get another entry.

3) If a person comments to this post and tells me that they got the link from your blog, you get a 3rd entry!

4) I will choose a winner on September 1, 2008 via a random-number generator.

See? Easy peasy.

Oh, what do you win? Lots of stuff. If you knit/crochet, be sure that I will tailor the prize so that yarny goodness is included. If you couldn't care less about knitting, shame on you. JK. But also, not to worry, I will replace the yarn with other treats.

But for everyone (knitters and non-knitters alike) this list of goodies will include, but is not limited to:

Coffee
Tea
a washcloth/dishcloth knitted by me
a scrubbie, also knitted by me, which will match the cloth (ooh! fancy!)
cool soap
a tote bag
a $25 iTunes giftcard

and more!

Hope you all enter! And good luck!
