Wow - Roman Sock has been around for a whole year!! I am so completely chuffed. This is the longest I have kept any sort of journal and I never thought a virtual thing could reach across oceans and make me the most amazing friends.
So over 40 projects, 14 patterns, 87 posts and 653 comments (Oh my gosh!) later, I owe everybody a massive thank you!
This is going to sound like a crazy thank you speech (stand back Gwyneth) - but I don't care!
Thank you June, Maritza, Bethany, Lindsay and Bri for helping me through this crazy blog thing. Your help and support has been invaluable.
Thank you to all the amazing people that actually made my patterns! How cool is that!!! You can see some of their brilliant work on the Roman Sock Flickr Link and everyone who bought something from Little Diversions from Roman Sock on Etsy.
Thank you Cassie from Bella Dia for sparking a Owlet craze!!
Thank you to all the amazing sites that featured my work including Craft , CraftyCraftyTV , DIYLIfe , Squidoo , Softie Central, Plush You, Crochet Pattern Central , Craft and Found, A Crochet Toy Chest and Lime&Violets Daily Chum.
Also thank you those lovely bloggers who blogged about this site! Fia Lotta Jansen , Groke Park, Crafting Creatures , LoopyJess, Cthulhu Crochet, CfKnits , Yarnigras , Quirkiest, Way Out Wear, LizzyJo, Knitting Frog, ChefHades, Ellielabelle and of course Soto Softies
A special thank you goes out to Monika for supplying me with glimmers of sheer joy!
I must have left loads of people out so please forgive me and know I appreciate you too!!
So, over the next year I promise lots more patterns made even easier to use and tonnes of crochet cuteness! Any other ideas?
Look at all that you've brought to life in just a year! We're so lucky that you joined the blogging community and choose to share your pattens and little creatures with us. Thank you very much and I look forward to even more! You amaze me, really you do. :0)

Oh my goodness, I never commented on this! First of all, congratulations on your first year of blogging! I'm selfishly glad you started because I've been able to make some of your fabulous patterns, and I can't wait to see what you come up with next. Also, I'm so honored that you mentioned me, and am glad I could support such a talented crocheter. Here's to another year of blogging and crocheting, at least! :-)

Sometimes, professors are just so demanding. They put students in situations that are impossible for students to get over with.
