These are the one hundred new blogs that I visited in the last 20 days and left comments on every single one of them. If you are one of these people and would like to win this skein, please leave a comment with your first name and blog name and tell me what is your favourite word and why. This contest is open until 7pm EST Sunday night - at that point I will collect all the entries and make a random drawing. If you know someone whose name is on this list, make sure they enter - your chances are anywhere from 1 in 6* to 1 in 100! Good luck!
What did I get out of this experiment? Well, six* new people signed up to subscribe to my blog :) That aside, I saw some truly breath-taking finished objects and objects-in-progress, and not to mention a gazillion ideas of what I would like to knit next. I found places to buy online patterns from, some darling pets, cute kids, and even cried a moment or two along with bloggers. I would encourage other people to conduct an experiment like this - it really was an enriching experience.

And... I'm letting go of my Lenten Resolution. With the packing and move I just can't keep up with it. I know I have constant internet access at work, but I refuse to blog from work. I *like* my job and would like to keep it.

Lisa from The Bitter Knitter here! Thanks for stopping by! My favorite word is palindrome, because it isn't one, (a palindrome, I mean) and why exactly is that?
Beth from MyEclecticMess here! I was going to brown nose and say "peculiar" was my favorite word but figured that was too obvious! I'll have to say, Guadalajara, just becuase it is fun to say when you are drunk. (Hello, my name is Guadalupe from Guadalajara, I make a mean guacamole!)
Jen from Crafting Jen here! What a clever concept for a contest - and for expanding your online horizons! Kudos to you.
My favorite word is "yes". I've had a lot of good things happen because I was willing to say "yes, I'll try that," or "yes, I'll go there," or "yes, that sounds interesting."
A carefully applied "no" can be useful, too. But you'll seldom get anywhere if you never say "yes!"
Wow. I am wowed by your blog commenting prowress!
And I'm also impressed you're holding a blog contest while moving. WOW!
I hear you about blogging from work...I did a lot of cyberslacking but that was one line I never crossed.
Hello from Krista (the Stitchin' Sheep). Ooh, I like bitterknitter's word choice, but that's only because my married last name is a palidrome, and I once dated a guy who's favorite one-liner was "I wish my name were Bob, because it's spelled the same backwards and forwards." He was actually a straight-A student, but a little eccentric, I suppose.
My personal favorite word is a Spanish one: verguenza. I suspect Beth and I have a common love for the sound "gu" makes in Spanish. It means embarrassment. "Tengo verguenza" being "I'm embarrassed." I fell in love with this word back in middle school when I learned it. I just liked the way it rolled off my tongue. Still do.
And, thanks, by the way, for stopping by my blog.
Oops, it's been a while since I last wrote anything in Spanish. The correct spelling of that word is vergüenza. I thought so at first, but then decided I must be wrong after a little google search that turned up way too much of the wrong spelling. A little review of the Spanish spelling rules in my head tells me I should have trusted my first instinct.
Erin from Skein Street. At the moment, my favorite word is Thigmotrophy. It's a scientific word meaning being attracted to warm things. Basically this winter, that's what I've been, thigmotrophic.
Hi, it's Ann from AuntieAnnKnits. Thanks for stopping by my blog! I am a lawyer (stop that booing) and sort of traffic in words. What came to my mind all unbidden was "superfluity", which means an excess or redundancy. Here in California, it is actually part of the law (under the glorious name of a "Maxim of Jurisprudence") that "Superfluity does not vitiate". Meaning that excess or redundancy does not make something void. OK, probably something that only a lawyer would love, but I think it just sounds cool.
Jennifer, aka Longwool, checking in. Very honored to have been a visited blog. My word is Terpsichorean. I'm not a dancer, but I like the way it sounds and am a fan of T. S. Eliot.
Cool contest idea!
Jo, Thanks so much for your kind comment on my blog. I'm sorry it has taken so long to answer - I've been totally flattened by the flu! As for the hairdresser, I did tell her, not really happy with the outcome, so may be changing.
Aren't you ambitious visiting all those blogs and moving too! I am totally impressed! :) Have a great weekend!
Kim from A Knitted Frenzy here. Oh I've been such a bad blogger the last few months and I missed your deadline. :( I'm going to answer anyway.
I think "absolutely" is my favorite word right now. It means so many different things in different contexts. "Absolutely" I'm having a bad day. I'd "absolutely" love to go to dinner with you. :)
I'm sure you've picked a winner by now. But I wanted to stop by and thank you for entering my contest!
