Susan, over at KitKatKnits, gave me this award! WooHoo! I'm tickled to pieces to receive this award. It makes my day!
So thrilled am I that I am passing this along to some other lucky bloggers:
Needles of Iron. This dedicated blogger has pledged to blog every day through Blogtoberfest, and what a great job she's done! November is nearly here and she'll be able to give her fingers a rest from typing!
Sheep At The Beach. Kary donates a percentage of her Etsy earnings to various dog rescues each year. Wow! And she also creates the gorgeous "Kitchen Sink Battz", that spin "like buttah".
Rani Knits. Randi illustrates her life and knitting with gorgeous pictures and the best sense of humor! Check her out and give Leo lots of kisses (even when he's chewing on her yarn).
Spindles and Spices. The Wild Tomato shares her recipes and embarrasses her dog, Mingus, in the best way - with good humor and a sense of fun that will keep you coming back...for cat hat patterns and excellent photos!
Boulderneigh Shetland Sheep. I have learned so much about Shetland sheep since I discovered this blog, and in the best way - the fun way! Michelle introduces her polled sheep with great photos and shares farm life with humor and caring. Don't miss this blog!
Maggie's Farm. Maggie writes what she feels and what she lives there on the farm in New York. She shares her life with LOTS and LOTS of sheep and goats, and her husband, Matt. Not one to hold back, Maggie tells it in a straightforward but sensitive manner, and is a great fiber friend!
Here are the rules for the award recipients if you want to play along (not required):
1. Please mention of the award on your blog.
2. Add a link to the person who awarded you.
3. You must nominate at least 4 fellow bloggers for this award.
4. Add links to the recipients.
5. Leave a comment so the recipients know they have received an award.
Besides all this, I have been plying She Sells Sea Shells, which is soaking in the bath right now. So far, about 3.5 oz has given me 125 yards of worsted weight yarn. I'm planning a beret and fingerless mitts, if I get enough yardage. After that, I plan to take on a set of the famous "Kitchen Sink Battz" from Kary. Romney in a gorgeous pale teal with tussah silk accents. I'm aiming for double knit weight with this one.

Aaaahhhh! My first such award ever! I am all a-flummoxed!
Now who do I nominate????
Thank-you so much, Kathleen! I am honored and humbled that you love my blog -- and that I have a reader in Peru! I'll have to check out your other awardees (like I need more blogs to follow; hee!).
Aw, shucks! I was going to give you this award, too, but you beat me to it.
Thanks for the shout out!
Kathleen, the site I like to browse to learn more about various sheep breeds (who knew there were so many???) is http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/sheep/. Check out the Racka sheep from Hungary!
And my favorite site for information about Shetland sheep is http://www.shetlandsheepinfo.com/. LOTS of photos there in the various areas.
Gee Whiz! ("Ah Shucks" was already taken) Thanks for the honor!!!! That is really so so so so kind of you (and exciting for me)!
I'm off to check out all the other blogs you mentioned.
Congratulations on a most deserved award. And thanks for passing it on to new places for me to visit!
Happy Weekend from us both!
