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.

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)

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 know you like to travel.

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…

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!
