    I found your blog after I found *you* at the Cleveland Knits West group. Since I have two of your *faboo* 100-row counters, I think I'd try one of the 99-row knit/crochet counters if I win. And I might have to just have you show me how to knit a bracelet. No shortage of beads at my house. Google/blogger is blocked at work, so I have to post with just my URL. :(

    I want to win this time!! Hint, Wink.

    I found your blog through YOU. And I pink, puffy heart (write Mrs. Knitting Counter on my binder at school and everything) the 100 row counter....why, because it counts 100 ROWS!!!

    I really want one of the bracelets --- the pink and green one actually.

    I am refraining from actually entering this time because I won the last contest! I think the Queen would throttle me if I won again :-) But I wanted to say congrats on your anniversary! And YOU ROCK! And I miss you all....

    I found your blog through Cleveland Knits West, also. I have actually met you once (at Java~I'm from Annie's original knit group :) I don't know how the stitch markers work, but Annie loves them, so I'd let you choose a beginner version for me.
    Congratulations on your one year anniversary!

    Yay Congrats on your anniversary!!!

    Let's see I found your blog through me..LOL ok through you...but wasn't I one of your pals who encouraged you to start a blog and an etsy store?

    I love all your counters...and I use my 100 row ones most..so I guess they are my favorite...but I like the 20 row counter too...i currently can't find my 20 row counter...I"m guessing it's in a WIP somewhere....

    Happy anniversary (a day late, but that's the story of my life)!

    Gosh, how did I find your blog? I've been following it long enough that it's hard to remember! *LOL* I think I found it by doing a search on Etsy for row counters during the early days of my love affair with knitting socks.

    Since my favorite sock patterns have relatively small sets of row repeats, I think I like your 20-row counters best. Although I have to say that they're all lovely. :-)

    I found out about your blog from Wiknit also.

    I love all of the row counters and can't decide my favorite until I win :-) How's that for confidence!

    Happy blogiversary.

    Hi Pam! Congratulations on your 1 year anniversary. I found you first because I read Dawn's blog about some stitch markers you made for her. Then I found you on Ravelry and met you one night at sit 'n knit at Caribou. I think I like either the 20 row counter or the Knit/crochet combo counter. Best of Luck! -Debbie

    Happy blogiversary

    We have a knitting group at work and I heard about the contest from Tom (and there will be a bunch of others following me I'm sure)

    I'm a sweater knitter and really like the 99 or 100 row counters.

  14. ElaineMarch 25, 2010 at 12:28 PM

    Tom sent me over. Thanks for a chance to win!

    I love the one with the sheep beads for counting 99 rows.

Let me add mine to the list. I can't believe it's been a year already since you started your shop! I'm proud to say I knew you "when"!
    Best wishes for many happy years to come, my Friend:)
    Oh, and if perchance I were to win, I'd love a 100 row counter!

    I'm a lurker and found out about the contest from Elaine (who found out from Tom ...). The great thing about the contests is that it DOES alert new people to a blog/shop

    I'd love one of the 100 row markers. The silverware one makes me smile although I need no reminders to eat :-)

    Happy blogiversary and thanks for a chance to win!

    happy blogiversary and congrats on a year on etsy!!

    I found you through Wiknit's blog. Your goodies are lovely! I am a knitter and have never tried a row counter, i am interested but would have to be told how to use one (sounds much handier than the traditional counters!) Think i like the first one best.

    Happy Blogiversary!!

    I found you through Wiknit. I love your work, and the knitting row counters are great! I really need a good one, too. Can't decide between the 100-row or the 20-row.

    Thanks for having the contest to celebrate!

    Happy Blogiversary.

    I found out about the contest from Elaine.

    I have never used a row counter but would love to try one. I'd be most interested in a 100 row one (or maybe the 99 type)

  23. UnknownMarch 25, 2010 at 8:33 PM

    I found out about your blog and the contest from the folks in my work knitting group.

    I think I like the 100 row design best, especially the one with the sweater and maybe the silverware. Cute!

    Congrats on your blogiversary.

    Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary!!

    I love both my current row counters. I found your blog, after finding you, at CKW. What a great find that was!

    I'd actually love to try one of the "other" 100 row counters if I win.

    First - happy blogiversary! And many more.

    I found out about your blog from Elaine.

    I would love to win a 100 row counter for doing sweaters. My favorite amongst those is probably the one with the sweater.

  27. UnknownMarch 26, 2010 at 12:22 PM

    I heard about the blog and giveaway from Tom and Elaine at work. Thanks - I love the way they all look.

    My favorite is the 100 row style

    I'm the last of the work knitting group I think to come over and check out your shop. Congrats. I found out about the contest from all of them.

    I think my first choice would be a 100 row counter. I've never tried any style - I use a supremely inconvenient method of making strokes.

    Happy anniversary! I found the blog around the time you handed me a super cute business card.

    It is very hard to decide what I'd like best. I think the 100 row counter, although I'm charmed by the pink bracelet...

    Hello, and congratulations on the 1 year anniversary of your blog and Etsy shop.

    I found your blog while I was Googling "knitting contests." I just entered one at a local craft store, and wanted to see if there was another contest out there in the blogosphere. I stopped to check out your Etsy shop after I noticed the gorgeous row counters on your blog. How incredibly clever! They almost look too pretty to use. However, if I were to win one, I would love the one that counts up to 100 rows...and I would definitely use it daily as I am an avid knitter and crocheter.

    Sigh! A day late (and a dollar short) yet again.
    Came from http://wiknit.blogspot.com/ where I found your blog name. As a knitter, I am always on the lookout for new ideas and patterns.
    But what I actually fell in love with was the All Pink Bracelet. Just the thing for my sister's birthday.
