Hard to believe it has been three years since I jumped (fell?) into blogland, and without getting too mushy on y’all, allow me to just say that doing this, here, with you, has been more rewarding than I was even capable of imagining three Octobers ago.
One of the things I talked about in that very first post was how much I had learned from the online knitting community, and so it seems only fitting that as I celebrate my blogiversary, I am working on a testknit for someone whose blog was part of inspiring me to start blogging. (And she’s still teaching me new things!)
Here’s what I’ve got so far on my ripe bananas lap blanket testknit for Cosy. I was struggling with getting the lace to line up, and she helped me to see that I was knitting right, but reading wrong. (I was reading the chart as if it covered all the stitches, rather than exactly the number of stitches in each quadrant, despite all sorts of evidence on said chart suggesting how to understand it properly.)
Anyway, this morning I put the reading aside, and powered through a full lace repeat, happy to be “getting it” after lots of puzzling, unknitting, and re-knitting.
Thank you all for reading the blog, sharing your thoughts, and teaching me in so many ways. Here’s to another year!

Happy blogiversary!! Your blanket looks great so far.
Happy blogiversary! As someone who’s only recently discovered your blog, I hope you keep it up for many more years!
It’s quite a feat to blog for three whole years.
Keep on ramblin’, rooster!
Happy Anniversary to you. Rooster, you’ve inspired me and I finally got camera and started blogging as well a couple months ago. Your life is so colorful and full and it’s a nice part of my day to check in and see what you and Boh are up to. Do you know how many items you’ve knitted in three years?
Happy Blogiversary Amy! So glad to have found you. Here’s to many more! *clink, clink*
So glad you started!
Nicely done on all counts, friend. :)
Happy blog birthday! I’m glad you started … and wish you many more years of fiber adventures!
Happy 3rd! Love visiting with you on your blog, and Boh too!!
Happy 3 years! And the test knit is looking great-such nice, even stitches and lovely definition. :)
Happy blogiversary from me, too!
I’m very happy you’re blogging :) Happy blog birthday to you – knitting’s looking great as ever…lovely colours, so autumnal.
I always read you in a reader so I am not sure when you changed your header – but I love it. Test knit looks great!
Yours is my favorite! Happy anniversary! I am glad I found you!!
Happy blogiversary!! I remember “meeting” you on the Fingerless Mitts for Fall KAL three years ago very soon after you started blogging. Your mitt photo had a turquoise door and some pumpkins I think? Anyway, your blog is one of my faves and I hope we have many, many more blogiversaries to look forward to!
Woo hoo! Congrats on 3 great years. :-)
The blanket’s looking great and very cosy indeed.
Been enjoying your blog myself for over a year and a half. Thanks for taking the time to write it. I do find time each day to read it as it’s one of my favs.
Happy Blogiversery!
Happy three years! I’m glad you’re around. Reading your blog is definitely one of my weekly routines, and your posts always make me smile.
