1. A $25 gift certificate at Wabi Sabi Yarns
I bought some of their stuff at Stitches West and fell in love. Now I want you to have some, too!
2. A $25 gift certificate at Flocks of Yarn
Fellow knitblogger Clumsy Knitter recently opened this adorable online shop. Now, I don't often call online shops of any sort "adorable", but this one, with its great design and fun customer rewards program, has a much more personal feel than you usually find while shopping on the internets. Great stock of yarn and books, too.
3. & 4. Goodie bags from me! Contents TBD based on the likes and dislikes of the winners, but they are guaranteed to include goodies both edible and knittable. I'll also include the winners' choice of one of my patterns.
I'll draw and announce the four winners next Sunday morning. The first place winner will have his/her first choice of prizes, second place will have his/her choice of the remaining 3, etc. Good luck!! And thank you again for reading. :)
P.S. I just realized that this is also my 200th post - it's a day for milestones!

I've been reading your blog for a few years now...but still not the entire time you've been a blogger!
I have 4 categories for "knitting and crocheting blogs I follow.
1 - first are the blogs I make sure I stay on top of every day.
2 - second category is the group I try to stay on top of at least once a week and it goes on from there.
You're in my first grouping and you always have been!
Congratulations on another great year of blogging and knitting! Your hard work in this space is much enjoyed and appreciated. =0)

I just started Citron and found your blog through it. Your patterns are very elegant. Love them! Congratulations.
I just found your blog a few weeks ago (via Babycocktails) and marked it as a favorite right away! Congratulations on your anniversary. I am off to a slow start on my blogging, but will keep trying.
I love Lilas and look forward to buying it soon, :)
Take care!

Wow. Congrats many times over. I consider your blog, style, and ability very akin to what I hope to do one day. You're inspiring folks you've never met!
what great prizes! congratulations on three years and 200 posts!
I don't know if you want to send a prize all the way to Norway, but figured it was worth a shot. If nothing else, at least I've stopped lurking! I think your patterns are great and will try some of them when I have the time to knit again:)
congrats on 3 years! i love your designs. as soon as i feel ambitious enough to knit a sweater, i have cloudy sunday in mind.
I love your designs. I've made Citron and am looking to make Lilas next. Thank you for sharing with the world!

Congratulations! Thanks for the inspiration!
I just found your blog . . and a contest is just frosting. Love Lilas! Monika
Congratulations on (1) your fortitude in blogging for three years and (2) your increasing success and popularity as a knitwear designer. So exciting! I hope you're proud.
Yeah!! Congratulations on so many years blogging! I just bought the Lilas pattern and am in the process of deciding if I should use yarn already in stash or support my LYS/second job and buy all new for the project. Need to decide soon since I'm taking it to knit on my birthday trip this weekend!
Congratulations on your blogging milestones :) I really enjoy reading your blog and seeing how you are growing as a designer!
Your patterns are lovely, and your blog is lovely to read. Congratulations on your blogiversary!

Congratulations on your blogiversary! I feel so blessed to be able to read your blog (and knit your patterns!).
Congratulations! Thanks so much for celebrating with a giveaway!
Congratulations on your blogiversary! I really enjoy your classical blogging style. Would love to win one of your awesome prizes.
Happy bloggiversary! I love your elegant knitting patterns and as a proponent of teaching the classics in school (I had two years of Latin and am so grateful for my opportunity) it is a thrill to see you exposing the rest of the world to Latin and Greek.
Chloe
Congrats on the longevity of your blog! Keep it up and your wonderful designs.
Happy anniversary!
Congratulations on 3 years! You're just ahead of me - I've been blogging for a little over 2.
I LOVE all of your patterns and always look forward to your post when it shows up in my google reader :)
Congrats to you! That online shop really IS adorable too!!
I've always loved you designs but only recently found your blog thanks to Babycocktails. I cannot wait to start Lilas but I have to finish those darn sleeves on my featherweight first@
Tres anni, gratulationis! Nos, lectori, fortunati summus. Patterna tuis bonae res sunt, nam facta summa elegantis.
Vale!
super congratulations on your blogiversary :) what a generous way to ring in the "new year" :) love your blog, hilary! you are so talented!
I wish I had found your blog sooner--I've only been reading for a couple months, but I just love what you do here! Now that school's out for summer (3 cheers for academia!) I'll have to go back and read from the beginning.
Congratulations. I'm glad to have found your blog and I'm really enjoying reading it!
Fantastic blog, beautiful knitting. Love your clean lines. Bought the Lilas Cardigan pattern and just received my yarn. I look forward to starting it!
I stumbled upon your blog when I was researching the Citron pattern. You must never sleep - how do you knit such beautiful items and work full time, plus write patterns and blog? You are an inspiration as I started knitting 6 month ago.
congrats on your blogiversary! i really love reading your blog!

Hi! I've been lurking on your blog and admiring your work since I began knitting last November. You are very talented, and I can't wait to knit Cloudy Sunday for my second sweater ever. You have inspired me to improve my skills and one day, I hope to design as well as you do.
Congrats on three years!
I just discovered your blog a couple weeks ago and have been reading backward through the entries... I'm in awe of your creativity and totally jealous that you work at NASA!
I found your blog through Canaryknits and though I've seen some of your patterns before, I had no idea you had so many to choose from. I really love how classic, yet with just the right touch of oomph the new designs are.
I found your blog pretty recently but I am really enjoying all your lovely patterns! I just bought yarn for the Lilas Cardigan today!
Congrats on your blogiversary...I stumbled on your blog a month or so ago and am so glad I did. I love your work.
Congratulations and thank you for designing such wonderful patterns. I am currently making safire and I am so happy with the way it is coming out. I'm not sure which of your patterns I will make next--there are 4 or 5 on my list...
Congratulations on your blogging milestones! I've only frequented your blog for a few months, but you're so creative I can't help checking in to see what's new!
Considering how many of your patterns I'm instantly drawn to (Lilas and Trina top the list at the moment), I can't believe I didn't find your space earlier in your 3 year history (and I have to thank Thea for directing me here a couple weeks ago via a link to Lilas). Better late than never...Happy 3-year blogiversary!
So glad I started reading knitting blogs and found you. Always excited to see what you will come out with next!
Look at you all popular! And to think, I knew you waaaaaay back when, when Grams was trying so hard to teach us to knit. So glad one of us succeeded. :) Your work is stunning and I am so happy that you are kind enough to share it with the rest of us! Much love.
Thank you for your gorgeous knits and photos! Yours makes me glad the world has blogs.
I visit your blog often for knitting inspiration and motivation. Happy blogiversary!
