Happy second bloggerversary! Woohoo!
And I wish you many many more.
You should buy yourself a new spinning wheel to celebrate!

HAPPY BLOGVERSARY! I wish you many many more! The mitts came out fantastic, can't wait to find out how she did the all in one piece trick ;)

Happy Blog-i-versary! I'm here for the socks and the Eye Candy Friday shots! :-)

Happy Belated Blogiversary! I read it 'cause I like you. :-)

Happy Blogiversary! Starting reading because we seemed like kindred spirits (me and about a million others, lol!). Still here because you are my pal. :-) xoxoxo

Happy Belated Blogiversary!
Why do I read you? Your posts are varied and interesting, the photos are always good, you knit things that I would knit and you regularly post photos of your husband in uniform and there is something about a man in uniform!
The mitts are lovely. I'm very interested in knitting the thumb and hand at the same time. Keep warm!

Happy Anniversary Carole!! - I sure hope there are many more. I have been following your blog for almost the full 2 years. Your knitting is inspirational and you just seem like a real person...also you are from MA, like me!

Happy anniversary, Carole! I started reading you about a year ago, finding you through Margene. She's one smart cookie, that girl. She knew how much I would enjoy your writing and your photos!

Those fingerless mitts are wonderful!! Thanks for the link!

Happy Belated Blogiversary! I've added your blog to my bloglines a few months ago because I've enjoyed reading your posts, your pictures and the projects that your work on. And I'm also from MA!

Carolknits is Red
Carole is cool
I love what you said
and I love you TOO.

Happy blogiversary! It's been a wonderful ride through it all.

Happy Blogiversary! I read because I like that you not only share your knitting, but a piece of yourself as well. I also love your Eye Candy Friday photos (actually, all your photos are beautiful).

Happy Blogiversary. :D

I've read your blog ever since I was your secret pal...and I've enjoyed your photos and your writing style and all of that. :)

LOL at Margene's poem. She, um, should have another cup of coffee. :)

Happy Bloggiversary! I read you because you hounded me until I met up with you in person, and then I drove like an idiot and got us all lost and I liked you (and Dale) and ......

The End. Hahahahah. Oh, I'm so frisky this morning.

Lovely pattern! Happy Blogiversary to you! I read you because I met you at Estes. I continue to read you because I enjoy your writing and all the interesting information you include on a regular basis as well as your sense of humor. Beautiful mitts too. I might need to get that pattern.

Simply because you
sound like someone I'd enjoy
meeting in "real" life.

Happy blogiversary and many happy returns!

Happy Blogiversary! I come for the photos, knitting, and a peek at those cutie pets of yours ;)

Happy Blogiversary!! I love the wristers. You're on my Bloglines so I read you regularly.

There once was a librarian knitter
Who had a new date to consider.
His name was Dale.
He was quite a fine male,
And now Carole's heart is atwitter!

Sorry. I can only do so much.

Happy blogiversary, Carole! I so enjoy hearing your stories and seeing your knits.

Happy two years! I've been reading you almost that long! And now I know you. Lucky me!

Happy 2nd Blogiversary! I know sometimes I use too much slang and for a fellow librarian that's bad...
I read your blog because...not only do we have many things in common~Librarian, Living Historian/Reenactor, Knitting, Spinning and our lives seem to parallel each other...I feel a special kinship to you Carole! Your daily posts give me something to look forward to reading each day and though I'm a new reader to your blog I enjoy so much the quality content of your posts. I do hope that some day we will get a chance to meet~~in person! I also enjoy so much your Friday Eye Candy photo's!
Again...Happy Blogiversary!!!!!

Those are yummy. Happy blogiversary to you and the blog! And I'm not just saying that because I want a prize. I'm so glad your good vibes are a part of our little corner of the blogosphere.

Happy Blogiversary Carole! I read your blog 'cause I liked you the minute I met you at Claudia's. Anyone who can acquire, what was it? 3 wheels in her first 3 months spinning? is okay by me!

Happy Anniversary Carole! I admit, I have not been there from the beginning. I only started regularly reading your blog after I met you at Rhinebeck, because I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you in person. Usually happens the other way, right?

Shoot, I missed the haiku part. So here's another go:

I read Carole Knits
Because she's warm and friendly
Thank you, good Bloglines

AWW! Happy Blogiversary Carole! I'm here because our mutual friendship with Margene brought us together, I think! And you know... once you make a good friend you can't just stop reading her blog! :)

I read it 'cause I like you! Even if I didn't like you, your pictures are lovely, your writing style is interesting and you make and do so many fun things. There's always something new at Carole Knits.

Happy Blogaversary!

Happy blog birthday! I love stopping by your blog...you always have great photos, fun stories, great projects to share. I'd hope we'd be friends if we ever met in "real" life!

Not only for wool
in life she is beautiful
knitting is there too

(Happy Blogiversary! I bet its been a decade or more since I even tried a haiku. A tribute to your inspiration, awful though it be.)

Happy Blogiversary Carole! Doesn't time fly when you are blogging? :)

Happy Blogiversary Carole! I read your blog because it's interesting and fun. Also, I appreciate anyone who finds value in reading the ends of books first!

Carole knits and blogs
Carole the librarian
Carole spins and cooks

Happy Blogiversary, keep up the inspiration for all of us. Blue Skies!

Congratulations on two years! Let's hope the blog doesn't have "terrible twos" the way children do! I read daily because I like the way you write, and you frequently post photos that remind me of some of my most favorite road trips to your area.

I like Carole Knits
Because she gets knitting done
at least someone knits

xoxo

Happy Blogiversary to you! I think it's mine too. Was nice to get together with the girls again.

Happy Blogaversary!

I really enjoy reading your blog. You write very well and have a great wit about you.
I love seeing your FO's too. It doesn't hurt that you take very nice photos as well.

Looking forward to more!!!

Happy Belated Blogiversary!
Mine was just born on your blog's birthday. Honestly I just found you, but look forward to more ECF.

Happy Blogiversary, Carole!

Socks and shawls abound,
But more than knits, wheels and pics,
She's got heart and soul.

Happy 2nd blog anniversary!

I found your blog through Yarn Aboard
And then it won a JenLa award.
The blog is now two -
rah-rah and woo-hoo!
CaroleKnits readers are never bored. ;)

Hi Carole! Happy blogiversary! Having just started my own blog less than a few months ago, yours was one that inspired me to create a blog home for myself. I appreciate your sincerity, your generosity and your realistic approach to all things. Thanks for being you!

Hey Carole, Happy Blogiversary!! Why do I read you....because you are a warm and caring person and that warmth comes thru in your writing. I'm happy to call you friend :-)

Happy Blogiversary :o)

I'm here to inflict upon myself sock yarn, fiber and wheel envy ;o)

Happy Blogiversary! I started my blog in April of the same year you started yours. Finding your blog was just a lucky accident. I get a 'feel' for you when your write so that's why I read you.

Wish I could come up with a poem of sorts, but with my mind scattering over the move, I can't - Interesting to note that we started blogging just 2 days apart! And I ONLY just found you this year...soooooooo glad I did!
Happy blogaversary!
(((hugs)))

Why do I read CaroleKnits? Must I choose just one reason?... Okay: I read because I love your sass. I love your unique voice--so honest, so funny.

And then there's the spinning wheel p0rn... ;-)

*ahem*

Preparing for Estes last June,
Reading blogs of all those I'd meet soon,
Your sweetness and hilarity
Had me reading with regularity
Well before that most wondrous afternoon!

Thank you, thank you! I'll be here all week.

Happy Blogiversary! The mitts are gorgeous; perfect colorway!

Don't know how I found you.
Don't know that I care.
I only know that reading here
Is something that I do hold dear.
Best wishes for another year!
Now, can you send that pattern here? :)

Happy Blog-day! Here's my haiku:

Lucky for Erin
She counts Carole as a friend
Always reads her blog

Happy blog anniversary! I read your blog because you make readers feel so welcome here. Not to mention your excellent knitting, spinning, and those great Eye Candy Friday photos!

Happy Blogiversary!

Why do I read? Because you're a kind good woman, who has interesting things to say, amazing knits to show (like those mitts) and lovely photos of your part of the world. Plus you make me hungry with your food posts. *hugs*

I can't figure out how to stick in line breaks (I'm just a clueless lurker), but here's my poem: It is a truth universally acknowledged /
That Carole Knits brightens my day /
Whenever my face becomes frown-edged /
My salvation is mouse clicks away! //

It may be the knitting and cooking /
Or your love of the vintage Bean boot /
I know that it’s always worth looking /
Oh – and Mason the cat sure is cute! //

So I salute you with uplifted Inox /
In thanks for your gifts to us all /
and hereby proclaim that your blog rocks -- /
the past two years were a ball!

Happy Blogiversary! Why do I read you? Three words. Pink Cowboy Hat. I keep comin' back to see when you're going to get yourself another Pink Cowboy Hat. :o)

I read because you're fabulous, and if we lived closer to each other, I would require us to meet up regularly.

Happy Anniverary Haiku!

Anniversary
Happy Carole knits away
New mitts rock warm hands

Happy Blogiversary! You were one of the first blogs I ever read and I enjoy what you write and your photos.

Happy anniversary. I like the diversity of your blog. Of course I love the knitting content but I like your outside photographs and recipes. You have a nice all around blog.

Happy blogiversary to you! We/I read you because we love you! Sorry I DO NOT DO POETRY! It is fun to see how differnt all of our "rare gems " are!

Carole, I read you daily
You're up at the top of my list
Your wit, your knits, your stories,
Really just can't be missed.
Happy 2nd Blogiversary!!

Read your blog because you always have something interesting going on & you have pics to keep our attention.

Happy Blogiversary! Keep on blogging:)

No poet, me... Happy blogiversary, I'm glad you've reached the toddler years! I came here for knitting, stayed for chatting, and am inspired by photos and Roast Beef Stew (yummy!). Thanks for blogging!

Happy Blogiversary! I read because you I like what you have to say and I love the great photos!

Happy Blogiversary! I read because you I like what you have to say and I love the great photos!

I can only hope, wish and pray
That someday when I turn two
I have the love from other bloggers
That you obviously do.

Happy 2nd Blogiversary!
(I'm not a poet & I know it!)

I read it because you are an awesome knitter. I like your style and you write because you want to actually blog. I write because i think that maybe if i write something i am not the only one who knows about my life. Happy Blogiversary

I come for the Eye Candy Fridays, the photos of that Civil War hunky husband of yours, your writing, your knitting, and your own self. Happy blogversary!

I like your writing and your photos. It doesn't hurt that you're a grammar maven. =) Happy Blogiversary!

I just found you and when I found out you knit the mitts for Kristi I almost died. Isn't she a doll? Well, congratulations on 2 years of blogging. I hope you enjoy it for many many more. BTW, the mitts are beautiful in your STR. I also love them in Kristi's handspun.

Happy blogiversary Carole!

In regards to why I read you - I love your Maple Leaves, your generous spirit and kind soul, your joie de vivre and your enthusiasm for all things fibery. You are an inspiration.

A very Happy Blog Anniversary to you. I read your blog for the following reasons: 1) I love to see the things that you kniw. 2) Your photos are awesome 3) I love that you share about your real life and the things that you and Dale are interested in (especially re-enactment) and 4) I love the recipes that you have posted.

I, like you use to be, rarely ever post comments on blogs I read, because I am blogless. I read yours and a few others I really like. Just want to say I enjoy your "eye candies" - they are super. Happy blogaversary and looking forward to many more. Hope to see you in Portland.

wow, quite the scroll to get here but happy blog anniversary!!

I, like you use to be, rarely ever post comments on blogs I read, because I am blogless. I read yours and a few others I really like. Just want to say I enjoy your "eye candies" - they are super. Happy blogaversary and looking forward to many more. Hope to see you in Portland.

Happy happy happy happy happy Blogiversary! I follow your blog, to drool over your food pictures, read great stories, and enjoy your beautiful knitting and spinning. I will not attempt the double entry poetry comment, I enjoy poetry but I am not skilled in that department, I will save you the torture.

Thanks for the linkage and the photos - looks like a great pattern!

Now, why do I read Carole's blog? Because you (Carole) are one of the bloggers that I SO look forward to meeting in person one day........((((((hugs))))))))

I only read blogs that interest me. Need I say more?

;-)

Happy Anniversary! I just found you through knitspot and haven't been reading long but anyone who likes soup and provides the recipe is okay in my book. Also, you provided the first reason for wearing a shrug that might make me make one (June 2005 -- airconditioned restaurants in the summer).

Happy Blogiversary! I started reading a few months ago. I love the pictures, and the fact that you don't just write about knitting, you write about life as well. Plus you always have the coolest patterns previewed on your blog, like those fingerless gloves, and hypotenuse.

Happy anniversary! Why do I read? Because I think you're such a nice person, you tell interesting stories, and take lovely photographs, and . . . well, you get the idea! I'm still just astounded that I've been blogging longer than you have . . . how did THAT happen?? (grin)

There once was a Carole Knits blog,
I tried to comment while lost in a fog,
To wish you a blogiversary
While drinking DECAF coffee and tea,
And read you have a cat not a dog.

I read your blog because I am in freaking awe of all the knitting you get accomplished. IT'S INSANE! And beautiful. I also am from New England so I love all the stories and photos you take. Your blog brightens my day.

Howdy Hi Carole
Happy Blogiversary!
Many more to come!

Dearest Carole Knits
Happy Blogiversary
For this I delurk!

Happy blogiversary!

I came upon your blog
I remember not the path
Yet I return
Again and again
For stories and photos
Warm and inviting
As you share your life
Stitch by stitch
Thank you.

Don't have fits
Because CaroleKnits
I have not seen before.

I got here from Chris
And I sure won't miss
Seeing you some more.

You made some lovely soup
I'd jump through more than a hoop
To show up and have some at your door.

Those boots they are hot
I wear boots a lot
And the guys they say more more more.

(well, not really, but hey, it rhymed. Don't ever think you look silly in boots and a skirt! I used to have yellow knee high rubber boots that I wore to teach adults with shortish skirts and black tights...you can imagine THAT caused some comment. And, I've been thinking about posting about what makes us feel sexy...me, one of the things is comfy long shorts, a baggy sweater/shirt/or coat/ and my BOOTS-either workboots or the black knee high rubbers).

I'll come back and visit!

Happy 2nd blogiversary!!! I started to read your blog because of our friendship. One of my favorite posts are you eye candy fridays... You truly are a great blogger,and even though I don't knit (much) I find your blog very interesting and fun to read....Your blog is very much you!! :) Debbie

As someday it may happen that a hero must be found,

I've got a little list, I've got a little list

Of internet contenders who I see are well renowned,

They're wonders in our midst, they surely would be missed!

There are people from New England which is where I live and knit,

And the folks whose grammar wouldn't give the Queen a hissy fit,

The bloggers who post photographs too pretty to permit,

And those whose other skills (like cooking) are legit.

There are many other bloggers whose blogs we can't resist,

I'm sure they would be missed, they'd all of them be missed.

But Carole tops the list, she really tops the list,

She surely would be missed, oh yes she would be missed!!

Because being here is like reminiscing with an old friend! You're someone I wish I could know in person, Carole! Happy Blogiversary!!!!

PS - I just wanted to send you good wishes, not enter the contest!

ooh my bonus skein was totally different. i like the one you got.

happy blogiversary!!!

i need to work on my poem.

happy second year!
i read cause you are a dear!

Great pictures
Interesting posts
Happy Blogiversary!

Happy Blogiversary Carole!
Why do I read Carole Knits? I enjoy your photos, your knitting and the stories of your life with your husband and daughter.
Two years and going strong! Congratulations!

i read carole knits
and connect to a new friend

Happy blogiversary!
I read you for the photos. (The articles are pretty good too.) :)

Happy Happy! I read it because . . . some habits are hard to break. Plus I really like the way you decorated for Christmas.

haiku for you

How did I find you?
I'm afraid I have no clue.
But I'm glad I did.

Happy Blogiversary! Pretty pictures and good content keep me coming back.

I'm a fairly recent reader of your blog. I found you via JenLa's "Best of" list. I checked out all of the ones on that list that I hadn't known about, and subscribed to the ones that I particularly liked, like yours.

Happy Blogversary!

There once was a woman who knit
At her computer sometimes she would sit
She'd write of eye candy
And knits that are dandy
And inspire us all with her wit!

Happy Blogiversary! Thanks for the contest, and for two years of great blogging!

There is a nice blogger named Carole,
She knits socks!Not so much fair isle.
I read her posts daily,
I rely on the way she
Is funny, upbeat and writes well.

omg is that lame! Whadya want, cold temps and not enough coffee! happy blogiversary, you deserve a better limerick than that.

Happy 2 years! TO many more ;)

Happy 2 years! TO many more ;)

Carole Knits is two
Happy Blogiversary!
Warmth spreads everywhere

of all the reasons
i first found your lovely blog
thanks to the tea cakes

here's to many more years!!

(i bought raspberry jam at the import store today with those tasty treats in mind). :)

Happy Anniversay, Carole.
I read Carole Knits for the frequent salacious content.

Happy Blogiversary Carole. I usually don't opt in for contests of any kind, but I cannot.resist.STR, especially.. in the Fire On The Mountain colorway (my favorite) - combined with a fabulous pattern is the icing on the blogiversary cake!
Why do I read? A) your one helluva knitter so your eye candy is delicious! and B) I love the way you write!

Beautiful photos, interesting writing, inspiring knitting are just a few of the reasons I read Carole knits

happy blogiversary! i know i'm glad you're out there in blogland ;o)

Happy Blogiversary!! I read your blog because you're saucy! Great knitting, photos, and life anecdotes.

Happy Blogiversary! I started reading your blog because you were so nice to save my behind at the end of the Summer of Socks (no I haven't forgotten) and I've found it very interesting. And thanks again for saving me!

A very happy blogiversary to you!

Happy Blogversary! My first one is coming up soon! I started reading you through Twisted Knitters, I think! I was drawn to your blog through all the lovely projects you knit and also your food posts! Gotta love those!

Your blog is bookmarked,
a favorite of mine.
I check in on you daily
to see what I will find.

Pretty pictures today?
A new sock or a glove?
Or maybe something to eat
Or a kitty to love.

It doesn't matter--
Cuz whatever is there
Is fun to read
And also to share!

Hi! Happy blogiversary! I read your blog for its variety in content and nice photography.

Happy Anniversary!!! I found your blog through reading Norma's and have enjoyed your sense of humor, your beautiful photography, and your many and varied stories.

Happy Blogiversary, I like to read your blog, look at the photography, enjoy eye candy fridays too. You give me inspiration to knit different things

Hi Carole,

I read your blog for so many reasons: the knits are great, the food looks good too, and you are such a genuinely nice and real person, with always something interesting to say. And where else can you get pictures of such a handsome man in uniform?!

ooh, Happy Blogiversary! I hope there are many many more.

A haiku from me to you:

carole always makes
me smile. i'd like to knit
a huge blanket. keep her warm.

Happy Belated Blogiversary! I just found you through Chris, but I'll definitely come back because it looks like you knit a lot of socks.

Happy Bloggiversary Carole! I have been reading you for 1 1/2 years and continue to do so because you are kind, warm, funny, and very inclusive of non-bloggers such as myself and I love your positive attitude in life. Oh, you knit and spin some pretty cool stuff ! :-) Thanks for being such a good friend.

Hey Carole, we started within days of each other! A most happy blogiversary to you. I stop by regularly because although we haven't met in person, it's like stopping by a friend's house for a cup of coffee. I like to see what you've been up to, what's on the needles...maybe catch some Massachusetts scenery. Oh, and the occasional recipes! ;-)

Happy belated blogiversary! Why do I read you? Because you take gorgeous pictures, you knit lovely things, and you tell a good story.

Oh, and the food! Must not forget the food!

I love how you tell a story. I have been enjoying your blog for over a year maybe longer. Thanks for sharing.

Happy Bloggiversary Two!
I like your blog! Oh, yes, I do!
I like to read about your pie,
I like your pictures of the sky,
I like to see your lovely knits,
The socks! The shawls! The scarves! The mitts!
Your husband, Dale, is really great,
(No worries! Got my own great mate!)
I like to read about your spinning,
Now, tell me: what's my chance of winning?

Happy Blogiversary! I love your blog because of all your fun projects :)

Happy Blogiversary.
The date each blogger likes to see.

But why is it we read YOUR blog
What makes us choose this site?
Because you're fun, it's not a slog
We like the things you write!

At first, of course, it was the yarn
and knitted items for us to see,
and over time .. the stories! darn,
silly question, on your blogieversary!

I wonder when my bloggiversary is... I guess I'd best go look. But is it the date I stared it all? or that at my current site that counts? Does this mean I get two??

Late as usual to the party. It's a theme, I'm going with it! :D
Happy Happy Belated but very heartfelted (heh) blogiversary! I feel like I've known you for longer, and I mean that in the best way.
WHY? WHY do I read Caroleknits? How can I NOT? You are my people. I love you, therefore I read you. Simple.
You are warm.
You are wonderful.
You are talented in the knitting department.
You are talented at quilting.
That amazed me.
Your home is beautiful.
Dale is a great knitting husband.
Blogless Sharon is wonderful too.
It's like a package deal. Carol, Dale and blogless Sharon!
You have a wonderful sense of humor.
You take beautiful pictures.
And you can recommend a good book to me. (I'm reading one of the cat who-s right now. I believe it is "Dropped a Bombshell")
xxoxxoxo to you , my dear, my Friend.

Inspiration, admiration of your blog
full of ideas and creativity
colour and joy of life

amber in scotland

Why do people blog?
To share clever creations!
Knitting bores my man…

Happy blogiversary!!

There once was a girl named "Carol"
Who was always mistaken for "this Carole"
We both read "the swine"
and enjoy it all the time
I'm jealous because I need a blog of mine.

I also wish I had a pinky full of the talent you ladies do with your knitting. I'm an amateur compared to you all.

Happy 2nd Anniversary.

The Other Carol aka the Blogless one
