Blog Anniversary and a Good Cause (with prizes!)

One year ago today I started this modest blog with the goal to "keep track of my knitting projects, but also to give my thoughts about the craft and what it's like to be a guy that knits. Hopefully I can bust some stereotypes along with making some people laugh." Well, I haven't busted any stereotypes or really explored what it's like to be a guy knitter, but I haven't done too badly on the other points. As evidence, check out all the items I've managed to finish in the past twelve months. There's actually more than this, but not all of it has been photographed.

Koolhaas, 10. Wife's Shedir, 11. Baby Shedir, 12. Fibonacci Ribs Sweater, 13. Aww Knucks, 14. iPod Sleeve, 15. February Sweater Redux, 16. The Golden Tunic

Now that I have your attention, I want to tell you about a special person and a great cause. Stacey at earthchickknits is raising money to support Women Touched by Grace. Over the years, Stacey and her family have persevered through some tough times. While she more recently had the wonderful support many have come to discover through the knitting/crafting community, the Women Touched by Grace was there through the long haul. Now a new program has started, only it isn't as fully funded as it once was. Which brings us to the point. Stacey is raffling off craft prizes to generate funds for the support group. Raffle entries are $5 apiece or 5 for $20, and dudes, these are some serious prizes. As an extra bonus, for every extra $500 donated, Stacey's going to add another prize pack! So what are you waiting for? Go donate!
