I'd like to thank...

Susan and Sally for nominating me for the Kreativ Blogger award-- I'm honored!  I'm not sure what it means, or who created it, but nevertheless, I appreciate it, and judging from others who have received it, I'm in good company.  It does come with a few strings:

1.  Copy the award to your site
2.  Link to the person from whom you received the award
3.  Nominate 7 other bloggers
4.  Link to the award recipients on your blog
5.  Leave a message on the blogs you nominate  

Seems to me that if everyone who receives the award nominates 7 other blogs, eventually we'll all get Kreativ-- and hey, why not?  Everyone who blogs is creative to some extent, right?  Although I suppose some blogs would get nominated over and over....

Anyhoo, I don't think I'm going to nominate 7 others, because I'm feeling lazy and I don't like to follow chain-letter-ish rules.  But I do nominate:

1)  Martha's Vineyard Fiber Farm:  the cuteness! The cool links!  The lovely yarn!  The great design! 

2)  Marnie MacLean.com:  Original knitting patterns!  Great tutorials!  Fun layout!  Vicarious romps on the beach with adorable dogs!

3) Techknitter:  Ingenious techniques!  Awesome graphics!  Super-hi-res photos!

4) PieKnits:  Yummy knitting patterns!  Yummy recipes!  Don't leave 'til you try a piece o' cherry pie!

5) Through the Loops!:  More great knitting patterns!  No one should be allowed to have this much fun with their teenaged kids!  LOVE that amazing banner photo!
