Yes, it has been four years already! Hard to believe! We have enjoyed sharing our knitting lives with you…and a small bit of our personal lives as well.
Here is an excerpt from our very first post:
Sally and I share many interests, but knitting is our passion. We decided to share a blog because, as I said to her, it’s like having a garage sale — I don’t have enough to do one of my own.
If you check in now and then, you will find that Sally and I knit about 75% of the same projects. Fortunately for Sally, she has to knit a lot less than me because she is 5’5″ and I am 5’11”. It is unfair, but cannot be helped.
Still true and still unfair!!
In honor of this very special occasion, we are going to have a contest…the prizes are YARN (surprise!). There are three fabulous prizes and all you need to do is leave a comment. Nora, Sally’s lovely daughter, is visiting her at the moment and will draw the winning names as an impartial observer.
How to Win:
1- leave a comment by Tuesday, March 23rd, 10 pm EST
2- have name randomly drawn by Nora
3- be contacted via email for mailing information
It’s as simple as that!
Fabulous Prizes:
Six skeins of Dancing Leaf Farm’s Bling Bling. Each skein weighs approximately 80 grams and contains 100 yards. (No fiber content listed on skein.)
Six skeins of Noro’s Cash Irona in color number 42. Fiber is 40% silk, 30% lambswool, 20% cashmere, and 10% nylon. 40 grams and 91 meters per skein.
Nine skeins of Green Mountain Spinnery’s Mountain Mohair in Elderberry. 70% wool and 30% mohair. Each skein weighs two ounces and contains 140 yards.
Let the contest begin!!
(Woo-hoo, I’m first) Congrats on your blogversary! You guys give good knit 😉

Happy anniversary! I’ve been a regular reader for a while now, and I always find your blog interesting.
Comment by Fiona — March 20, 2010 @ 12:20 pm
Congratulations! I love seeing the beautiful projects that you both post.
Comment by Linda M. — March 20, 2010 @ 12:22 pm
I’ve only been a follower for the past 2 years, but thank you for all the entertaining posts.
I think it’s neat that sisters knit the same projects. I know I’m definitely influenced by what people post on Ravelry or their blogs, and I would be much more so if my sister knit (alas, she does not). You each interpret the designs in your own, interesting, way, and it’s always great to have a knitting buddy.
Here’s to many more years of happy knitting and blogging!
Comment by Maryanne — March 20, 2010 @ 12:24 pm

All the men on my father’s side are over 6′ 2″, while the women are all around 5’4″. But between sisters, that’s really amazing. Personally, I wish I had a sister like you do. In our knitting community it feels like I have many. Congrats!
Comment by Katie K — March 20, 2010 @ 3:11 pm

Happy Blogiversary!
Your blog inspired my sister and I (who live over 600 miles apart) to start one together too! Unfortunately even put together we don’t have enough for a yard sale and we’re terribly inconsistent about our posts. But in the almost three years I’ve been reading you two have never failed to entertain and enlighten. Thanks!
Comment by KathleenC — March 20, 2010 @ 4:36 pm

Lovely blog, I;ve really enjoyed visiting over the past two years. You make wonderful things and give good advice about the patterns. Also thanks for “Surrounded” almost finished and it made a wonderful afghan in full size, now I;m going to make a baby one to match for a wedding/baby present. So cool
Comment by Pawdua — March 20, 2010 @ 4:43 pm
Every time I see the picture of you at the top of the blog, I think how much I always wished (still wish!) I had a sister.
Your blog is one of my favorites – always happy to see a new post. Congratulations on another blogiversary 🙂

Comment by Betsy — March 20, 2010 @ 4:48 pm
Congratulations on 4 years of blogging! I don’t know just when I found your blog, but I have enjoyed it for a couple of years now. Your knitting – both of you – is inspiring! I only wish one of you lived near me so I could take lessons! But I’m in New England – far from DC and MN. I have 2 sisters, and of the 3 of us, I’m the oldest and the shortest. We all knit, but the middle sister is the most talented – she’s the one who has done sweaters and not just “flat” things like scarves, baby blankets, and hats!
Comment by Susan — March 20, 2010 @ 5:03 pm
Happy Blogiversary! I enjoy seeing and reading about all the pretty things you two make! 🙂

I have LOVED your blog, learned lots about lovely techniques (you sent me searching interlibrary loan for anything I could learn on bohus knitting), you have inspired me when I was in a slump, I also think you have helped me to hold myself to a higher standard and have courage. I am willing to rip back and try again because I see you do it. After all, it is just more knitting right? I love knitting! Happy anniversary!
Comment by Claudine — March 20, 2010 @ 9:28 pm
Started reading your blog last year when I started working on the Angela Hahn sweater in Vogue that you two were working on. Have kept “in touch” since. How could I not when I could have been your double from your pic in blue jeans about 20 years ago? haha

Happy blogiversary! I don’t usually add comments to anyone’s blog, but I have been enjoying yours for a couple of years now, especially enjoying the thoughts of knitters with some years of experience. Thank you for all that you offer.

Once I discovered you about 2 & a half years ago, I’ve been checking nearly every day. Love the days when you write–thanks so much for an interesting & educational blog! Kathy :o)

Happy Bloggiversary! I wish my sister was a knitter. She is a scrapbooker, and I am not…so we don’t have that craft in common like you do. I am envious. I enjoy reading about your projects.

Congratulations on your blogiversary! Wonder if I’m the only person who read Noro rather than Nora at first sight. Yarn is too much on my mind. Cheers to you both!

Here’s to many more happy and passion-filled years together! What a sweet idea–! And lucky us—better odds than the lottery.
I visit your website regularily to see what catches your interests as well as what irritates you (How’s the Tea Leaves coming along?) Your site also sets a high standard of finishing—my lazy downfall. he attention to details really sets both of your work apart from the average needle-meister.

Well, gee. Those yarns are all so lovely, how can I NOT enter your anniversary contest! I enjoy your blog; your projects, pattern designs (am making the topsy-turvy moebius — that cast on is WILD), your humor, and having a wee peek into your lives. Thanks for taking time to share with us all.

Just started following (and a novice knitter). Thanks for sharing your knitting and yourselves!
Comment by Kathy Martin — March 23, 2010 @ 8:21 am
I almost feel dishonest for leaving a message–I had decided to put your blog on DNR (do not read) statis. It’s not that I don’t love it and adore your knitting. I just get a huge case of me too, me too when I read it. New books and projects just seem to leap out from the very pages. Of all the blogs I read the projects on yours call out to me the most. I also have a sister that I adore — just not a knitting sister. She does request knitted items so I still claim her.
Comment by Linda Poehlman — March 23, 2010 @ 8:56 am
Happy Blogiversary! Thanks for the chance to win some beautiful yarns and thanks for your sweet stories and beautiful projects on your blog!
Comment by Catherine — March 23, 2010 @ 9:24 am
Just a note to say thank you. Your blog has helped me through a very emtional and stressful time during my mother’s illness.
Comment by Susan Ann Hoffman — March 23, 2010 @ 9:28 am
Thanks for 4 very fun years of reading about your knitting (and other) adventures! Your blog is one that I click on every day just to see what you two are currently knitting, and you have inspired me!! Karen Schneider, from Wausau, Wisconsin.

Comment by Yvonne — March 23, 2010 @ 7:06 pm
Your projects always inspire me and make me want to keep enhancing my knitting skills. And I always think of my cousins, coincidentally named Sally and Sue when I look at your photo. We all looked very much like that when we were in our early 20s — more years ago than I care to admit! Sally is the taller one in my family.
Comment by Diana — March 23, 2010 @ 7:41 pm
I love your blog and the quality of your knitting. I have been knitting for over 50 years and still struggle with quality issues. Yours always looks so perfect.
Comment by Marcy Wallace — March 23, 2010 @ 7:55 pm
You two have the best blog on the planet, so congrats on the anniversary.
I’ve never seen knitting so beautiful and your skills are outstanding. I marvel at what you are able to produce.
Thank you so much for sharing what you both do with such passion.
