2 Year Blogiversary Contest!!!

July's post is decidedly short and sweet. Have been busier than a beaver, travelling more than usual, and unfortunately have no time this month for my typical spidery tappings. Thanks much for your understanding.

Spinning Spider Jenny, the blog, is soon to turn 2 years old. That means it's time for a contest! An easy contest, but you have to follow the simple rules in order to qualify for a prize. What prize? Well, it depends. It depends if you are a spinner, a knitter, a dyer or practice none of these fibery disciplines (I know I have several wonderful readers who fall into the latter category). Here's what I'm looking for: Tell me/us your best or most useful spinning OR knitting OR dyeing tip OR...the most useful piece of advice of any sort (can be humorous or serious...you-name-it) that you've ever received during this lifetime.

The rules: 1) One comment per person, please; 2) Identify yourself in some way...in other words, if your name is John, then you need to be John-who-loves-cabbage, or some such foolishness. That way, I'll be able to announce the winner as John and there won't be a billion Johns thinking they've won; 3) You must comment by a tip or advice, as explained in the bold letters. Just saying "Hi" won't get you diddly-squat; 4) Let me know in the comment whether you'd want a spinning or a knitting or a dyeing or a non-fiber-related prize if you win.

Oh, about that prize. Depending on who wins, a little, but nice, prize will be sent that will surely please. Commenters, you have 'til 11:00 pm EST of Monday, August 25th, 2008 to get your comment in. I'll put all names in a hat and pick a winner. Good luck! And thank you, treasured readers, for making this blog possible. A blog writer, I suppose, doesn't have to have an audience, but it sure is sweet when she does...and doubly sweet when they're as nice as YOU!
