Knitbloggers for blood contest!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Cyndi at 10:21 pm on Tuesday, October 24, 2006

I had a post written in my head for today (admit it, you do this too), all about the perfect yarn and the perfect pattern, and how sometimes the two don’t go together, and blah blah blah. Really, it was a great post. Or maybe it will be someday (later this week, perhaps). Instead I’m going to revisit my public service announcement from earlier this year, and encourage everyone who reads my blog and who meets the blood donation eligibility requirements to make an appointment today to donate blood.

As an incentive to get you to donate, Martha is having a contest to get knitbloggers and their friends to donate blood. So, go, now… search for your local blood donation center, make an appointment to donate, help save a life (or two, or three), leave a comment for Martha, and possibly get some fibery goodness in return. Sounds like a win-win situation to me!

After you’ve made your blood donation appointment, come back here and check out this crazy knitter… It’s a woman who knit a Ferrari - using TWELVE miles of yarn. She’s also knit a toilet, pedestal sink, and wing back chair. Seriously. Insane.

I wish I could blog straight from my brain, without having to remember stuff for a later time. I will think of the perfect wording for things and then forget by the time I get around to blogging it. So I admit it, I know what you mean.

Hehe - I totally know what you mean!
I spend my whole life either thinking of great things to post or sitting in front of the blank screen wondering what to say!
Thanks for coming by my blog and saying nice things =)
