Monica and Mick  both included me in theirs list of blogs that make their day. Thank you ladies!

“Give the award to 10 people whose blogs bring you happiness and inspiration and make you feel happy about blogland. Let them know by posting a comment on their blog so they can pass it on. Beware you may get the award several times.”

There are  many, many  sites that I visit frequently but I can’t list them all (got to follow the rules). So, without further ado, I give you my list of site that totally make my day:

Here they are, in no particular order~

1. Kirsten from Through The Loops. What a talent. Can she whip up the patterns, or what?

2. Carrie at Sommer Designs. The zeal with which she has taken up knitting is infectious. That, and I totally sympathize with her “what to make for dinner” angst she’s been having.

3. Susan –  of Itty BittyHats fame. I think my love of knitting baby hats (or hats in general) is pretty well established.  I have, by far,  knit more of Susan’s patterns than any other. She’s so whimsical – love that.

4. Veronique- I envy her love of knitting math – I  aspire to be a knitter just like her.

5. Lolly, of course Lolly. Her enthusiasm for knitting, reading, traveling and, well, life lovely. What a talent.

6. MLE – They way this girl cranks out the sweaters is truly impressive. Have you seen the latest?  How cute is that?  In fact, I was actually awake at 2:00 a.m. (thanks Sam)  today thinking about Emily’s sweater and into my head popped this yarn that I have had in my stash  for over a year now. Hmmm…. For some reason this sweater pattern doesn’t scare me as much as some of the others. Perhaps because the pattern is pretty vauge and I can botch it up any way I choose?

7. Dee- Ahh, Dee. She the very reason, ok, maybe not reason, but the very person who pushed me to start The Plucky Knitter. Thank you Dee!

8. Megan – Everything she knits is artwork. And, I want her stash.

9. Amanda- I’ve learned so much from you….. thank you!

10.  Nora. Eye Candy. Enough said.

Phew! That was tough keeping the list to just 10.

Well, you are probably wondering who won the contest? Before I get to that, what can I say except – Thank you. Thank you for the congratulations, compliments and best wishes.    What a year it has been!  

While there was no entry that hit the number spot on, there were some pretty close guesses. Who was the closest you ask? (**insert drumroll here**) ~

Liz  - please leave a comment or email me with your contact information.

And, because it was my one year anniversary, because there were so many entries  and, well, because I can – I decided to randomly pick another entry for a second  yarn-y give away.

Becky  - Again, please leave a comment or email me with your contact information.

Again, thanks to everyone for playing along. That was fun!
