Yarnhog nominated me as a Rockin' blogger! She rocks!
(SHIT!! This is supposed to be a button. Why can't I figure this crap out! It's not rocket science, right??)
(This is the bath mat from One Skein. I'm making it to replace the disgusting, unwashable rug that's currently in front of our kitchen sink. Seriously, it's so gross, I won't even show you a picture of it. I'm using Lion Brand Cotton)

You're supposed to name 5 blogs you love. She already named a couple I was thinking of and there are so many I love it's hard to choose, but here goes...
Stumbling Over Chaos - I met Chris and she's as cool in person as she is online. Also, she and her contest postings have been the main pipeline to most of the blogs I currently read (and I've won a couple of the contests!)
Throws Like A Girl - Like Chris, completely as cool in person! And she was kind enough to give my contest a shoutout during a podcast she was a guest on.
Knitiot Savant - Seriously, one of the coolest names for a blog. Ever! And her amazing attitude in the face of adversity (and flooding, traitorous dishwashers) was the epitome of class. I want to be her when I grow up.
KnitNZu - She and I have had some exceptional and commiseratory (OK, not really a word) email conversations. And she seems to work in an old and creeeeepy asylum! I'm jealous!
Tammy Knits - More intelligent and open email conversations, even though we have some opposing views. But then, turns out, maybe not so opposing after all!
Uberstrickenfrau - Cracks. Me. UP!!
The Panopticon - OK, he's not technically a girl, but Dolores seems to have as much control over that blog as he does. Another one that's just too funny!
The Yarn Harlot - We all know she's the queen of rocking, but wouldn't want her to be the pretty girl who doesn't get asked out!
OK, so I can't count. Sue me. There's, like, 50 others I want to nominate! Not fair.
Now for a song...
If you're knitting stumped and you know it,
Go Crochet (clap, clap)
If you're knitting blocked and you know it,
Go Crochet (clap, clap)
If you're knitting is all stalled,
Go Crochet a kitchen cotton ball
If you're knitting's halted and you know it
Go Crochet (hook, hook)

OK, one last random thing. A woman just bought some yarn from my shop and she emailed to tell me she uses it in her "art knitting". Her site is here and the knitting is the third button on the right. But check out all her stuff, it's really cool! (How many times can one say, "cool" in a single post without being stoned for banality?)
Off to thesaurus.com, Ruth!
