My silly little blog is two years old today!

It’s interesting to see exactly how my knitting has progressed over the past couple of years. I’ve done my first lace, my first stranded knitting, created my own designs, and increased my yarn stash by an embarrassing amount. Maybe by the time the next anniversary comes around I’ll have braved steeking!

I started this blog mainly as a means to record my knitting projects, and it’s never been the aim to start delving into my personal life. Also, I am not a writer in the way that wonderful bloggers like the Yarn Harlot are. (And I’m not sure why I put the link in there because I’m sure that everyone who reads this – with the exception of my muggle sister – knows the url by heart!) But I can write knitting patterns and seem to sometimes be able to put stitches together to make something not half bad, so mustn’t grumble.

Anyway, because it is an anniversary, there needs to be a present. Remember this?

This skein of Mmmmmalabrigo laceweight will be the prize in my first ever blog competition! Just comment on this post if you would like to win it. First one out of the hat after I close comments on Sunday evening will win.
