4 year Blogiversary…must be time for a contest!
How time flies…my first post here on Diva Knitting was May 24, 2005! Little did I know at the time the places to which knitting would lead. In honor of this “momentous” occasion I’m having a contest! I’ll be giving away at least a Namaste Bag, 5 oz of hand dyed merino spinning fiber and maybe some more goodies depending on how many entrants there are.
How to enter (you get one entry in the drawing for each step completed below):
1. Subscibe to Diva Knitting blog at <– that link or by using the feed url in your favorite reader http://feeds.feedburner.com/divaknitting (Already subscribed? Give yourself an entry.)
2. Create an account at the Diva Knitting Store and subscribe to the newsletter (I only do a few per year, and it usually includes a SALE. If you’re already a customer, you get an entry for that.)
3. Post about the contest on your blog using the permalink: http://www.divaknitting.com/blog/2009/05/15/4-year-blogiversary-must-be-time-for-a-contest
4. Post about the contest at your favorite knitting site (in an appropriate spot, please, only one entry no matter how many places you post) such as Ravelry, Knitting Help, etc.
5. Tell me one thing you know about me/my life from reading the blog
So if you do all of those, you’ll have 5 chances to win! When you’re finished, leave a comment on this post telling me which steps you completed and give the links to where you posted in steps 3&4. The deadline for entry is midnight EDT May 28th, 2009. Relatives (ahem, ERICA) are not eligible to win. Now go tell your friends! The more entries there are the more stuff I am likely to give away. :)
ETA: Want to win chocolate too (and really, who DOESN’T)? Go visit Just Shakin’ My Bon Bons.

Why do I have to lose out?!?!??! Ok, ok, I guess I can’t complain because I already get tons of free goodies from DivaKnitting!!!
Hi Cheryl!
I will be in Cincinnati in 2 weeks. Looks like you are down the street from where I will be staying!
I hope you have loads of entries for your competition!!!
Forgot to mention I completed entry no 1,2,3,5
Something I have learnt from reading your blog April 4th is your Birthday and you are a marathon runner.

happy Blogiversary to you.. 4 years is a long time♥ I subscribed♥
Happy Blogiversary!
I know you run, have a place in AZ (so jealous), and have dogs. I’m posting on Ravelry (c2 knits group) so put me in for 2 entries, please!
Hi Cheryl!
Let’s see…what do I know about you from reading your blog? You have furry babies (one named Loki). Hence, you’ve already endeared yourself to me. I also know that you work out like a mad woman!
Ok…I did all but #4, so I get four entries, right?
I know you tried out for a reality show, you love your furbabies, you live in OH but spend a lot of time in AZ…
#3 was put up here

I posted #4 on KH in the Any Sock KAL, as we talk about everything there : )

Thanks : )
Happy Blogiversary!!
I just posted about your contest on WiKnit (http://wiknit.blogspot.com), my knitting contest blog.
I’m now a follower!
And I blogged about this contest!
Made a divaknitting account and signed up for the news letter!
Shared this contest on Ravelry!
And in relation to your unfortunate biking accident, I’ll make you feel better about crashing a bike while not be in movement. I one time managed to ride my bike into the back of parked moving truck. Honestly, I don’t know how I could have been distracted enough to notice that I was heading right into something that size. It was shameful. And it hurt.
I’m a follower through Google Reader!
In addition to spinning, you also like to sew!
I subscribed!
And one thing I know about you is that you ran a marathon right about the time you started this blog. Maybe you should run another one for your FIVE year anniversary!
Hmm, i did all but number 4. And about you? Aside from being crafty and talented i know that you finished college in your later 20’s. I think a later education is so much more appreciated!
Hi happy 4th blog anniversary gurl!!!
I signed up to your blog thru google reader.

Happy blog anniversary. Thanks for the contest opportunity!
One thing I know about you
Your birthday is on April 4 -
Hi Cheryl,
I’ve completed 1,2,3 and 5 (see the link on my twitter here: http://twitter.com/ellabwong). I’m super impressed that you’ve run a marathon- I recently went to watch a friend run, and it was unbelievable!
I posted the link to this site on the knittersguildofdenver yahoo group.
I completed steps 1, 2, 4 and 5. I love your suggestions about putting the sewing machine someplace I’ll trip over…I mean use it. I must confess, however, I’m a big purse girl.
Completed 1,2,4&5 (No knitting blog so no #3)
My post was at: http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/namaste-love/653083/1-25#reply_form
You are very active and (even if I hadn’t taken a peek at your gallery) I’d know you must be cuter than I am by your Celebrity Look-Alikes. They put Trent Reznor and Captain Picard on mine! And I’m a chick!
BTW – Wasn’t Schnellenberger the name of OU’s football coach at one time?
I love feelingstitchy.
I entered yesterday, but now I don’t see my comment above. Hmm. Let’s try again:
1. Check!
2. Done!

5. You are 36 years young and like to spin.
Let’s see here. I’m a new suscriber, I posted on Ravelry in the most appropriate place I could think of ( http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/blogging/9580/326-350 ), and from your blog I know that you have multiple crafty hobbies, not just knitting, and you’re roundabouts 36. Whee!
Hi Cheryl! Happy Blogiversary! I just found your blog and subscribed and also signed up for your newsletter. Thank you for doing this contest. So fun!
I subscribed to your blog via Google reader.
:o)
Rather than post about this giveaway on Ravelry – I decided to Twitter it to my 2033 followers. I think it will get better exposure that way. I hope you approve! :o)
http://twitter.com/ZaftigDelights
Well, your name is Cheryl, you’ve run a marathon, and you obviously like using “smileys” on your blog. :o)
Hi Diva! I am so excited to have entered this contest! I have been dreaming about a Namaste bag and new yarn! Yay! I subscribed to your blog and the newsletter, posted a link here (http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/namaste-love/653083/1-25#reply_form), and here (http://marievermillion.blogspot.com/), and on your blog I learned that you would really like a Kindle! So would I

Hi! Lets see… so I subscribed to the blog and created an account and signed up for the newsletter. Also- something about you learned from the blog- you recently visited my local fabric/quilt store “super cute quilt shop in Arizona.” I actually have not been in yet- it is right next to my Son’s school- but haven’t quite found the time yet. I followed the link from your blog and realized it is the one I have been meaning to visit!! It looks cute on their website so has now worked its way further up my to-do list. Maybe sometime this weekend???

I subscribed in Bloglines, and one thing I know about you is that you went to Arizona this spring. Happy blogiversary!
I know you like to travel.
[...] that tomorrow. In the meantime, don’t forget that today at midnight is the deadline for my 4 year blogiversary giveaway. Make sure you’re signed up for a chance to win a Namaste bag and other fiber [...]
For some reason I can’t get my post to go through, I’ve been trying for awhile now but it won’t show up…or says it is a duplicate post. I don’t see it though hrmm…fingers crossed it will go through this time…
I know you live in OH but spend a lot of time in AZ, you love your furbabies, you tried out for a reality show…
I posted #3 on http://mountaineerknitter.blogspot.com/2009/05/kemp-is-having-blog-contest.html
I posted #4 on KH (Any sock kal thread since we discuss everything there)

Hi! I have subscribed to your blog.
Hi, Cheryl!
I completed steps #1, 2, and 3. I don’t have a blog, so I posted a link to your contest on Facebook. I skipped #4. For #5, you run, usually with your dogs. You’re a vegetarian or vegan (can’t remember which). Your sister is on plurk. You visit Arizona a lot, and I believe you own 2 homes!
I don’t know if you have a Facebook account. My link is http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=1163066209&ref=profile in case you have one, but you’ll have to “friend” me there! ;-)
I’ve done 1,2,3 http://mitchypoo777.blogspot.com and 5. I know that you like and go to Arizona and you are a runner. Happy Blogiversary!
I’m just doin’ #5 – feeling lazy… I love the cheap wine in Cincinnati, well, discounted wine. ~H
I don’t have a blog so I missed out on #3, but I did complete #1 and #2. OK, as you read that last sentence, keep your mind out of the bathroom! :o)
I love the Prescott, AZ area. So glad you enjoyed your time there. (I learned that from your blog!) Happy Blogiversary.
1) OK, I keep trying to do Step #1, but Yahoo keeps giving me an error message. I’ll keep on tryin’.
2) Done!
3) Done: http://ericah.blog.com/5099073/
4) Posted in the Ravelry discussion board for the group Adult Children with Knitting Disorders: http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/ackd-adult-children-with-knitting-disorders/662813/1-25 I invited you to join the group, too.
5) You have a sister named Erica, which always tickles me to no end since MY name is likewise Erica. :-)
6) Nope, I can’t eat chocolate, so I didn’t do the bon-bons thing.
OK – I have done four out of five! Added you to my Bloglines (I thought you were already in there, good reminder motivation!) and set up an account. I posted your link on my Facebook, which will actually reach more knitters than my blog, I think.
To finish out #5 – I know you go for walks with Loki! and you’re quite the seamstress, I envy your skills!
I completed:
1
2
5- you like to run with your dog Loki.
Congrats!
Congrats! And to many more!
I completed steps 1 and 5. I’m already a subscriber. Because of this, I already know you knit, crochet, sew, and spin. All of which I love hearing about!
