Thank you so much, everybody, for blogiversary congratulations and for sharing your favorite needlework projects. I wish I could send you all a prize! But here's the three:
BOOK WINNER:
Jackie who found a great deal of satisfaction in finishing her first big project, the Dragon Melody Shawl.
BAG WINNER:
Sherriknits who could look all day at the Bohus cuffs that a friend gifted her.
YARN WINNER:
Superwoman402 who plans on knitting Ishbel (me too!) and the French Press Felted Slippers.
I love how the favorites represent beauty, challenge and future knitting dreams.
All three winners have been contacted either through email or Ravelry.
I'd like to do a couple of blog entries about the other favorites. I learned of new patterns and was touched by so many of your stories. I also want to read and share your blogs! If you have a blog, please email me or find me through Ravelry and send me your blog link. Thanks!

Favorite Things Contest
How time flies! This blog was born three years ago today. All I wanted to do was to keep a record of my knitting. And since I like to write and take photos, why not do a blog?
I really didn't give much thought that people would actually read this thing!
But I'm so grateful to the folks who found Snit n'Knit and read it once--and then read it again. Over the past three years, your comments have given me cheer and comfort. My blog friends have become some of my favorite people!
From reading other blogs, I've seen such gorgeous needlework! I may never knit, crochet, tat, quilt, embroider or applique any of these projects --but I so enjoy seeing what brings challenge, joy and beauty into our lives.
So to celebrate three years of blogging, I'm giving away three prizes. Leave a comment by midnight on Friday, February 12th and you'll be eligible for one of the prizes. The winners will be chosen via a random number generator. In your comment, please:
1) List one of your favorite needlework projects. It doesn't have to be something you've made--just something that you really like. If you feel like sharing why it's a favorite, please do so.
2) Choose which prize is your favorite.
Winners will be announced on Saturday.
In the spirit of favorite things, I've chosen prizes from three of my favorite categories: books, bags and yarn. Here's the photos:
A book. Somehow I acquired two copies of Clara Parkes' wonderful book. Everything you might want to know about wool but were afraid to ask. Nice patterns in there, also.
A bag. Doesn't this Maruca bag make a cute knitting bag? A local store was closing and they were practically giving these bags away. I bought a few and this one was set aside because I knew it would be a terrific blog prize. (The more I look at this bag, the more I can't believe I'm giving it away. The colors and the vintage-look are wonderful and just so me.)
A skein of yarn. Sundara sock yarn in a pretty shade of pinky coral. The color is Dahlia and there's 350 yards. If you're not a sock-knitter, this yarn would also make a very lovely Spring scarf or shawlette.
OK, enough talk from me--let me hear about your favorites!

Winners
The winners for the 1st Blogiversary of Snit n'Knit contest have been chosen, notified and have responded. Congratulations!
Nancy of Days Gone By won the rosy red Cascade yarn with her recommendation of The Bag Lady and the Pro. Two sisters--Anne in Atlanta and Martina in Alaska write this entertaining blog. On Sundays, Anne does the work for us when she lists blogs that we might not know of, keeps us up-to-date with contests and also links to interesting patterns.
Speaking of contests, winner Nancy is running a contest in celebration of her 300th post! Hop on over there and leave a comment.
The Shi Bui yarn will be going to happy2knit for her recommemdation of Sknitty. "Flawless taste, great links and lovely pics" are the reasons why Kendyl wants us to read the blog.
And make sure to check out winner Kendyl's blog, too. I got a good laugh out of her "gorilla sweater" and held my breath while she solved the problem.
I hate using cliches, but gee. . . . all of you who commented and left a link to a blog are winners! I've so enjoyed reading all the new-to-me blogs, that hardly any knitting has happened around here all week.
With every future blog post, I'm going to list some of the recommended and posters' blogs.
Thank you all!
