On another, completely out of the blue front Gilraen nominated me as one of her "Rockin Girl Blogger" nominees for my "lace knitting, extraordinary level!!" I am honoured that you think I am worthy Gilraen of such an accolade. Thank you very much.
I have to say though that my awards for Rockin Girl Bloggers have to go to some serious lace knitters. The following people really do inspire me with their lace knitting exploits, their encouraging words as well as their time they give up to explain things despite having busy lives. Although they live thousands of miles away they have become kindred spirits and friends, so my nominations are:
- fleegle (Harry included if we can entice him out the fridge crisper to collect the award)
- lacefreak
- missalicefaye
- lacemaven

It may not be lace, but those socks are stunning!
I am incredibly flattered by your award! Thanks so much! Harry immediately made himself a glitter-studded plaque from the Web button and plastered it front and center on his karaoke machine. He is currently caressing the button as he belts out "Winner Takes All." Not pretty.
Unfortunately, he's now eyeing that hot pink as a potential yarn choice.
You deserve it Littleberry :)
Thsoe socks look 'kewl' :)
Great choices LittleBerry - I've just added all of them to my reading list!
As you say, beautiful, inspiring stuff.
What I didn't say on the blog was that I was really annoyed at the lack of taste shown by the dyers. Especially the famous ones. I once made a pair of socks with Fleece Artist and they were so ugly I gave them away. Expensive, too.
Yarn Yard's lace yarn is lovely...but seems to come in only pale pink, blue, and lavender. Not in the mood right now, but later!
Check out the Yarn Chef on Etsy, too. Her stuff is beautiful!
Aw, thanks for the award!
You're quite generous, as anyone with a size 10 foot would be lucky to get anklets from me.... :)
