why stop at one day.
one of the greatest opportunities that came my way as a result of this blog is getting the chance to help gale zucker and joan tapper with their great book Craft Activism. i learned a great deal and had so much fun. thank you both for including me.
so in honor of it being my blogiversary week, i thought it might be fun to have a contest.
leave me a comment between now and friday, April 20th 11pm ET and i'll put all of your names into a hat and choose a winner at random.
you want this book. i swear it.
once again, thanks for visiting all of these years.
Happy blogiversary! Cannot believe how fast the time has gone by.

I guess it's not a coincidence that when I think of all the wonderful connections that have happened because of meeting people over the blogs, I too think of getting to work with you on the book! I think it should be pointed out here that what isn't shown on the cover is you, Maryse, standing just outside the frame holding up one end of the "clothesline" on a debilitatingly sticky hot July day. ps and obvs dont enter me in the contest!

Congrats! I found your blog a couple years ago when you wrote about a pot holder swap. Been enjoying your musings ever since. Cheers!

Congratulations! I've been wanting this book but it always seems to be sold out at my local book store. :)

The mittens on the front make me want to buy the book - what a beautiful cover.

I'd love to win this. It looks awesome.

Very cool. I meant to buy that book last year after I saw what knitting goodies I got for the holidays. Suffice to say that didn't happen.
I love Holly's goal of making and donating 10K items in her lifetime. That is such a worthy thing to do (and for someone like me who has moved to sweaters just because I cannot justify making more accessories for myself it might be necessary).

Congratulations on your blog! I tuned in late, but I adore reading your blog, and about you.
The book looks like something I would really enjoy!
