Hello again! Yes, I'm celebrating this week, as it's the 4th birthday of my blog. When I started it back in 2008, I didn't realise just how much enjoyment I was going to get from keeping a record of my knitting and other goings on in the josiekitten household! I quite enjoy looking back at old posts to see what I was getting up to! As a thank you to you, I'm having a little birthday giveaway. I've had a good rummage in my stash and found some lovely yarny prizes. Take a look!
From left to right, a skein of Great Northern Yarns 100% yak, a skein of 100% superwash BFL yarn from HippTopCloud, two skeins of 100% British wool from Angels and Elephants and a skein of supermerino, bamboo and silk from Stroud Wool. Mmmmmmmmmm!
To be in with a chance of winning, all you have to do is become a follower of my blog (if you're not already), and tell me about another blog that you like to visit. I'm always on the look out for new blogs to read. The giveaway is open to anyone and I'll post prizes worldwide! I'll leave the giveaway open until 9pm on Sunday and announce the winners early next week. Good luck!! xxx

Oh I do love it when people give stuff away, especially when I'm already a follower! I could recommend dozens of blogs, but one of the people who I now consider a bloggy friend is Laura from Made In Oxford. Her blog address is http://madeinoxford.wordpress.com
Happy Blogiversary! I love reading Mangofeet (http://mangofeet.blogspot.com/) because she has three escapologist sheep and several lambs and a wonderful sense of humour.
Ah.... I don't think my recommendation will be much good to you as I found out about Attic 24 by reading your blog! Thank you very much, I do enjoy Lucy's blog very much indeed. (And of course I really enjoy yours too, it is my favourite) .... Hope that you have had as lovely a summer as I have & don't feel quite as misreable as I do about returning to school.
Happy Blog Birthday!! http://didyoumakethat.wordpress.com/ is blog I love to read because it's so much fun. It's mostly sewing, but there is knitting and crocheting there too. Thank you for the chance of winning! :)
What a lovely giveaway. My suggestion is Jen Arnall-Culliford's blog (http://jenacknitwear.typepad.com/), as it's one of the few I read that isn't actually on your list already!

Hi and congratulations on your 4th anniversary!! That must be very exciting. I keep telling myself that once nursing school is over and I have more time for photography and writing, I'll start a blog, too. In the meantime, I enjoy reading Chelsea's blog called "Lady I Swear By All Flowers" (http://chelseab.typepad.com/lady_i_swear_by_all_flowe/). I just love her photography, and her genuine posts warm my heart!
Happy Blogiversary!
