The Knitting Fiend

Two tennis sweaters
once met, mated and married.
Here’s their little vest.

To my younger readers: Now do you understand what “Crones of the Craft” tell you when they say patterns were, like, so totally better “way back when?”

The 60’s tennis sweaters are from “On The Go vol 41″, which is being auctioned at ebay. The vest is from the summer 2006 edition of Knit1 and was the inspiration for “Hottie Haiku”.

It’s time to vote! Cast your vote for the “The Minor Categories” on this ballot.

What’s a minor category? I split the blogs categories into “Best Over All Knitting Blog”, “Major Categories” and “Minor Categories”. The minor categories are those that received nominations for fewer than 3 blogs.

Note: Each IP address can vote each of the three ballots once every 24 hours. (So you can vote 3 times a day– but only once per ballot type.) When voting each ballot, you can select as many as you like. Each blog checked will receive 1 vote.

Voting has ended! Winners will be announced on or before Sept. 6

There will probably be no haiku Sunday because I’ll be at the Stitches market. If you see me, say “hi”!

Meanwhile: ominations for best knitting blogs are still coming in and I expect more between today and the 14th.
