Imagination Award

Almost a century ago I got an Imagination Award from Alexandra. I promised myself that I would post it "today", but "today" quickly became "tomorrow". And you know that you never really do the things you planned to do "tomorrow" tomorrow. You do them when it's almost too late. Anyway. I'm really flattered that Alexandra thinks I have imagination.

The Rules:
Tell 5 things about your crafts you like the most...what inspires you to make home made gifts.
Send this award to 5 bloggers.

Here are my five things:

1. I HAVE A HOBBY!
When people ask me what I do, I can say "Well, I crochet and knit together with my boyfriend". And they will think I'm like creative and talented instead of boring. Crocheting is probably my first serious hobby in years, if you don't count getting bored as a hobby.

2. I HAVE SOMEONE TO CROCHET AND KNIT WITH!
We are the yarn-loving couple. We crochet and knit together, it's like the thing we do. I can't imagine our relationship without yarn anymore. And I love to watch J.R. knitting. I like the fact that he's so talented and that he's always there to help me with my projects. I never have to struggle with crochet patterns when he's around. I'm so blessed.

3. I'M A COMMUNITY MEMBER!
I love Ravelry. I love love love Ravelry. I love to share my projects, I love to stalk my Ravelry friends, I love to read the forums (I rarely post anything though), I love to search for new (free!) patterns... And I like the fact that Ravelry is a huge community of knitters and crocheters world wide and I'm a part of it.

4. I LOVE KNITTING BLOGS!
I've been into blogs and blogging for years, but things got far more interesting when I found knitting blogs. I never knew there were so many talented people out there! And I can read what they have accomplished and get totally inspired by them. I also love our own knitting blog, or to be more defined, I love J.R's blog posts. It's his blogging voice I like.

5. I ACCOMPLISH THINGS!
And it feels good! I learned how to do something, I'm doing it and I'm getting good at it. I'm not a loser. Not at all. I make things happen and I make things. I can be proud of myself. Finally.

I want to give this award to Elina and J.R. They are my favorite crafters.
