100 followers give-away!

I've been looking at my blog really often this past week. I was always aware of how many Google followers I had. And yes, the moment is here, there it is: I have 100 followers! When I started this blog in April 2010, I never thought that I could reach 100 followers. And yet, if you look at the Google follower widget on your right, it's over 100!

My follower widget has always been my popularity gauge, despite all the statistics gadget blogger provides. I mean, if you deliberately subscribe to a blog, it means that you read every post, and you are looking forward for the next post, right? I noticed that I have some devoted readers who are always there!

So, like I said in the beginning of this post, I have been stalking my own blog this week, and I have been preparing myself for this moment. This is my way of saying thank you, dear followers:

100 followers give-away!

One handmade dnps knitting needles case, featuring 16 pockets, a flap and tie ribbon (outer fabric is from the Amy Butler fabric line);


3 sets of 6 handmade stitchmarkers, featuring one stitchmarker with an extra bead;


5 of my best selling patterns, Émilien, Cybelle, Claire Bennet, Béthanie and Phébée, that you will receive in your email reception box in lovely .pdf format.


All this items have been all handmade by me, with love!

How to win

  1. Post a comment on this post, telling why you read my blog. The give-away starts now as of Monday, January 10th and will end on Friday, January 14th, 00h00 eastern america time,which gives you a week to participate.

  5. This give-away is for everyone, all around the world!
So, you have one week to participate! What are you waiting for!!! Good luck!

Continue to follow my blog! subscribe! At 200th followers, we might have another give-away...

  49. According to my google reader you are at 500 subscribers, so I don't know where your count is coming from!

    I read your blog because you are so popular :)

    I read your blog because you seem like a real down to earth girl, with a simple knitting aesthetic, which I really like. Thanks so much for offering this fun giveaway! I've got Emilien in my queue and would be pumped to win it! And those other amazing prizes, too!

  50. Like so many others, I found your blog via What's Hot on Ravelry, and I really liked those posts but stuck around for the lovely patterns and well-done photography! Your Émilien sweater is one of the only men's patterns my husband has ever liked, so I will definitely be adding that to my queue. Also, just a head's up - I use Google Reader to subscribe and when I click on the details for your blog, it says you have 500 subscribers. : )

  51. OMG What a giveaway!
    I started reading your blog because the "What's Hot on Ravelry" caught my (very small) attention span. I actually click through to your blog, vs. reading in my feeder, because I LOVE YOUR BACKGROUND. It makes me feel happy.

Beautiful! Even if I don't win, some of those will definitely be purchases in the future. Congratulations on such great blog stats...it is easy to see why.

  101. Hi!
    I think it's wonderful that you have so many followers! I am curious if they were all really counted though... I'm subscribed to your blog feed though a program called Vienna rather than Google Reader.

    Anyways, there are plenty of reasons why I read your blog. I enjoy the What's Hot on Ravelry colem. I always find something new to queue in there. You also have great photography on your blog which is important to me and awesome patterns. Pretty much a slam-dunk blog as far as I'm concerned.

    Thanks for writing!!!

  104. Good stuff on your give-away!

    I found your blog through a blogroll but can't remember which. You caught my eye because you like learning German! When does a German ever hear that? Actually I should comment in German as a challenge ;)

    We have the same pattern taste and that's why I keep reading. I'm not a follower because that would be another account to log on to (I have my bookmark list and enjoy cheering me up at work with it).

    So there are definitly more than 100!

  124. I started following you after a friend recommended your blog. I liked your list of favorite things on Ravelry. Very often the same patterns were my favorites as well and just as often I discovered patterns that I hadn't seen yet, and those quickly became favorites. You have such great taste! Please keep it up! :-)

  128. Why do I read your bog ?? well, as a fellow knitter I like to see all the beautiful thing you make with yarns. As a fellow Université de Montréal's student, je compatis totalement avec le manque de temps pour tricoter dû à un horaire étudiant trop chargé !! Le mauvais côté : What's Hot on Ravelry fait que je passe encore plus de temps à fouiller sur le site.
