it is unimaginable that it has been 4 years. truly. i have no idea how i have stuck with it so long. i thank all of you for reading, your comments keep me going. you make me feel like i am talking to somebody out there. blogging can be hard at times as those of you who blog know. finding something to say isn't always easy. i do all of this for one reason really - the knitting community. i started knitting just about 5 months before i started this blog. i am just as passionate about knitting as i was then (to my sheer amazement - my crafty hobbies usually come and go). i have met so many people along the way and made some really close friends all because of this craft.
i promised a sneak peek of some of the prizes...
a new size in the project bags - large! this is for those of you who like to knit larger projects (like sweaters, blankets etc.). and of course, yarntini sport weight in the good to be girl colorway. one prize will have the bag and the other the yarn along with other goodies (stitch markers maybe?). :)
both contests will be open until sunday night (june 1st). the first contest is based on comments but that is as much as you know.
the second is this lovely quiz about moi. just copy and paste this text into an email with the answers and send to amyATgoodtobegirlDOTcom. for every right answer your name gets entered into a drawing. i'm making you work for it a little this year! :)
1. what is my favorite color?
2. name a pattern or yarn i mentioned in my first ever blog post
3. one of my favorite sweets?
4. name of my favorite lys?
5. what are the names of my 2 cats?
6. how many clapotis' have i knit?
7. name one item that was in my first blogiversary give away?
AGAIN you have until 8 p.m. sunday evening (june 1st) to enter.
p.s. i was going to include something about yesterday's socks in the contest so i left out the details. but then i added it to ravelry and gave away too many details. so for all those who asked - pattern :: twisted tweed socks - yarn :: socks that rock lightweight in sherbet - modifications :: none, followed pattern as written

Happy blogiversary!
Happy blogiversary!!!!
Congrats on the 4th blogaversary. I recently had my 3rd and like you, am amazed I've stuck with it so long. I was still a new knitter when I started blogging, but it is such a great hobby. I have a hard time with crafty obsessions as well. I used to be big into stamping and scrapbooking but I got bored with it.
Happy Happy Bolgiversary!! Love the new size bag - my in progress sweater is, well, kind of overflowing out of my medium bag, so I'm thrilled to see the bigger one!
Happy blogerversary! And the bags are great, as always.
A Blogiversary haiku:

Happy Blogiversary!
Happy Blogiversary! May there be another four years (but hopefully more) of Good to be Girl!
Happy Blogiversary to my very talented daughter! She is truly amazing. I never dreamed she would become the beautiful knitter that she is!
And....when Amy throws a party she really knows how to it right. Always a theme, decorations, favors etc.
I can't wait for my birthday!
Amy's Mom
Amy, It was great meeting you Saturday. Your finished socks look great. What about the mitts you were working on? I bought some yarn at Village to make some as well. Can't wait to start on them. Hope to see you again soon.
Take care, Darin
Such a great celebration, as always. One year I was lucky enough to be one of the lucky few that you mailed a celebration packet to. Your blog was one of the first I started reading, and it got me hooked!
Wishing you a very happy Blogiversary!!!
(4 years??? That's impressive!)
Ok, second time around. Blogger at my first comment. Drat.
Congrats. And I so share that feelings of wonder at keeping with a hobby. I've done a little bit of everything and it seems that it burns bright, but short. :D Yay for knitting though. I'm still clicking away with my pointy sticks too.
pick me! pick me!
is you favorite color pink? just a wild guess there... :-)
I read your blog regularly. Happy Blog Anniversay! You are so creative and inspire me. Love the bag and the yarn Take care
Happy 4 years of blogging! Those of us who read your blog (and lust after your stitchmarkers) thank you for taking the time to share your life and musings and knitting with us! Thanks for the details on the socks! I have a new skein of BFMA Sherbet myself...hmmm....may have to make them socks after all!
Happy blogiversary, happy blogiversary (sung to the toon used on the Flintstones!).
Nice Amy Butler bag, too!
Happy Happy blogiversary!
I don't comment all too often as I'm mostly a lurker by nature.
I love the fabric of the bag - beautiful!
Here's to another great year to knitting and blogging. I enjoy reading your blog and look forward to the new posts!
Happy happy blogiversary from a lurker.
Happy 4 years girly!
Happy blogiversary! 4 years is great----keep it coming!
4 years!! And I can't manage to do it at all. I love lurking around other's knitting blogs, but everytime I think of starting one I think - "are you crazy?"
Congratulations. The bag is terrific and the yarn is lovely.
Happy 4 year blogiversary. That's a real accomplishment.
I just wanted to wish you a happy 4 year blogiversary. Nice that your Mom came over to say 'hi' too.
I just came to check if I'd won and found there is an "impostor" elaine shouting pick me, pick me. I'm the REAL Elaine (the lurker) who you want to pick! Really :-)
Happy blogiversary.
Happy Blogaversary! Congrats on 4 years! (I'm going on 3 yrs blogging *daily*!!!)
I just sent you an email with what I thought were correct answers, just in case the first time didn't go thru due to your server being down.
Thanks for having a contest!
Looks like I'm just getting in under the wire!
Happy 4th Blogiversary. That's certainly a record among knitting blogs I follow. Congratulations - a really interesting blog.
