My blog name started as adayinthelife… but was already taken when I moved over to typepad so since a few friends already knew the first part, I just added the name. It is basically what it is….a bit of my day, not every day but lots of days. It isn’t just about knitting, but about life as a married woman, married to a woman, a mom of teen twins, a knitter, a camper, a friend.

My blog’s name is quite simply sphinxy’s blog, cos Sphinxy is the nickname i’ve been using for quite a while (got it from a quote from “When harry met sally”), but i want to make a craft related blog, I have the blogger address and the layout I like, and I made a silly logo the other day on photoshop… I thought of chicken, so I made chicks…four cute chicks… so i’m thinking of calling it “I pulcini gialli” (the yellow chicks”, a bit of a memory from when i was taking my italian lessons… we were going to make a party and didn’t know how to name our group… I struggled for I pulcini gialli, but at the end they used “se vuoi si puoi”, which was much more inspirational than mine… But i always thought i had to use it for something, and what better excuse than my very own blog… 😛

Hiya! I named my blog Pensive Frog because I wanted something easy to spell and remember. I also liked the double meaning of the name – like a pensive frog could be a thoughtful decision to rip out a project. Get it? Get it? Yeah, it’s not that subtle. 🙂

A little knitting, a little teenager and a lot of wacky…..

Because it’s my life…..when you mix single, systems analyst mom with a 17 yo boy child….only wacky occurs…..

There’s a yarn color called Jane Addams? I LOVE Jane Addams! She’s my absolute hero!

… anyway, I just stumbled over your blog by clicking links in comments (I love doing that). I’m not sure I count for the contest because I don’t have a specifically knitting blog, more a “Look! I made a blog!” blog (it’s supposed to be a SOAPBOX for my opinions, really). Anyway, it’s called “Sunbeam Soapbox”, for one because S is in my name (Stephanie) and I like alliteration; 2. because of what I said before, a soapbox for me to talk about what I think, because I really don’t do enough of that (no really, I’m way too quiet, I can’t even get the hang of posting in a blog…); and 3. “Sunbeam” because I love the sun. I feel so much better when it’s a hot, sunny day and I get to laze around and soak up some sunlight than when it’s cold and grey and sad.

Although with the knitting, I’m liking sunlight and summer less and less because it means I can’t wear wool for fear of death by overheating… but I still like sunbeams nonetheless. =)

And I guess I really just wanted to tell that story! Heh. No one’s asked about it before and it’s quite a few years old…

If I had a blog I would call it Knitting With Sneezy. Sneezy was my nickname from school. And I love to knit in my spare time which is a lot because I am retired now.

My current blog is named ‘Knitting to Distraction’, because I knit and and highly distractble. I have grown to hate this name though, and will be moving soon. The blog I will be moving to when I finally get everything finished there is ‘Pixelated Purl’. Honestly, I just picked it because I like how it sounds and is unique. Pixelated also happens to be a nickname I use for my cat.

Hi! Yay, I like contests!

I have named my blog “heidisknitbits” because, well, my name is Heidi and the blog is about my knitting tidbits, or my “knitbits”.

I didn’t really put a lot of thought into the name, I just happened to come up with it.

Have a great day, and greetings from Finland!

This is a nice looking blog, and I’m always glad to find another good kniting blog to help me while away my work hours.

No blog here, though I admit I think about it enough to think about names. Some of the possibilities:

Two Pointy Sticks – I can’t believe that this isn’t used already…but I just love the word “pointy.” It’s just intrinsically funny to me.

Oh Ewe Kid – A little too cutesy.

And the one I think I would go with:

Reincarnated Sheep – I am (I know, it’s phenomenally wussy) afraid of moths. My mother always kidded me that I must have been a sheep in a former life. And knitting is a way of re-forming, re-shaping, giving new life to, wool.
