One of the first things I found cool/odd/interesting about the blog world was the generosity and general kindness of (for the most part) total strangers. This week, I was the recipient of this generosity when I won a contest over at Ms. Amy Artisan’s blog. Besides having the best name ever, Amy is one of the first blogs I started reading after I joined the blog world. She is one of those bloggers where you can just feel her goodness through her writing. Besides knitting, I love reading about her trips and how connected she is to her family and friends. In fact, the contest was to write a comment about friendship. So I did. And I won!
As you see I got some fun treats including, Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs, 2 skeins of Classic Silk yarn in beautiful shades of grey blue and taupe, a sunflower growing kit, some fun pads of paper and a cute pouch. Thank you so much Amy! I love it all.
Now if anyone remembers, when I am the recipient of some unexpected blog love, I like to give back. So, in the next week or so, Kara and I are going to jointly host a little blog contest. Details coming soon…
In other news, I will have a finished Blithe post on Monday. I just have to get some thread to sew on the buttons and it will be done. So stay tuned for that too.
Have a great weekend everybody!

Looking forward to seeing Blythe – and congrats on your lovely win – I’ve been wondering if that book was an enjoyable read – keep us posted.
How fun! Glad you won. Enjoy!
What a fun thing to receive! Packages are the best… What was your comment on friendship?
I love the title “Blog Love”… it reminds me of the Scrubs musical, when Turk and JD sing the “Guy Love” song. Hilarious!
