Wow! I can hardly believe it's been three years. It's been a lot of fun, and I've learned so many new things from other bloggers. The online knitting community is incredible and I'm so glad that I am part of it.
In honor of my blogiversary, I am going to hold a contest. Guess how many knitting books** I have -- closest one wins. If there is a tie, I will draw a name. The prize will be knitting themed. Leave your guess in the comments!
The winner will be announced on Monday as I will be busy attending a funeral this weekend.
** Knitting book will be defined as a book specifically about knitting. It will not include magazines, patterns booklets that are ISBN-less, or books about knitting related crafts such as spinning or dyeing.

Do you even know? (I stash many of mine in weird places around the house and sometimes even "rebuy" ones I've previously purchased but loaned out or forgotten about.
But my guess is . . . 57. Chelle

Do magazines (Interweave, VK) count as "books"? If yes I'll say 88. If no I'll say, hrmmmm, 49.

Happy blogiversary!
Looking at the other guesses, my first instinct was obviously way too low. I'll go low, anyway, and guess my age - 28.
