Blog Party Day 4 - Blog Scavenger Hunt
We are gearing up for the big party day! Friday, January 16, 2009 marks my two year Blog Anniversary! If I mentioned earlier it was my one year anniversary, I must have had too much virtual bubbly because I realized my blog is two years old tomorrow!
The picture puzzle I posted yesterday proved to be a lot harder than I thought it would be. I was surprised there were not very many correct guesses. I circled the area in the puzzle that, if not put together correctly, would not solve the puzzle and you would not get the secret pop up message:
When the picture puzzle was correctly put together, the message that popped up was: "loom knitting is fun and easy".
I had a lot of people ask me to post the solution for the Simple Charting Game also. Sorry for not doing that! Everyone that posted or sent me their guesses got it right! The hidden message in the chart was "Let's Party!"
Today's game will last all of today and throughout the day tomorrow. I will not post the "guesses" until Saturday morning. The prize for the correct guess will be radomly chosen and announced on Saturday. Don't worry about posting your guess since your answer will not show up on my blog until after the game is over. The lucky winner will receive a copy of each of these patterns:
Perfect Fit Toddler Mitts
Bunnies in Love Dishcloths
Family of Loom Knit Gloves
Loom Knit Toe Socks
Playful Dragonflies Loom Knit Dishcloth
Find these pictures hidden in posts from my blog archives (January 09, March 08, May 08, and September 08):
I don't expect you to read the posts, just look for the pictures, write the title of the post down and comment in THIS post what your guesses are or drop me a message. Good luck and have fun!

Blog Party Day 3 - Picture Puzzle
The party is in full swing! I am having a wonderful time and I am really enjoying seeing all of my friends stopping by to wish me a happy blogiversary! I hope I didn't tax your brains too much with yesterday's game :) I had a lot of fun putting it together. The game is now officially closed. Not to worry, I have a few more games up my sleeve and more chances to win!
In this post from last year, I wrote about my adventure in meeting Isela, the author of Loom Knitting Primer. I was so excited to learn she was going to be in my area for the Knit Out and Crochet 2008 event at the Mall of America in MN. I was even more excited when I found out I was able to go! Even though I had a tough time with bringing my children along and I didn't get a Keepsake Loom, I was still very honored to meet her and bring home my copy of Loom Knitting Primer with her autograph!
Today's Picture Puzzle contains another secret message. Once again, to keep things fair throughout the game, I will not post any comments until tomorrow morning. I will place a CLOSED banner above the game when it is officially over.
Successful guesses of the secret message will be entered into a drawing for a copy of my Family of Loom Knit Gloves or a copy of my Loom Knit Toe Socks pattern. The winner gets to pick! I will draw a name and announce the winner on Friday, January 16, 2009.
To begin playing, click here! Place a comment in this post or tap me on the shoulder here at the party and let me know what your guess is. Good luck and have fun!
ETA: The message pops up when the puzzle is complete!
