I'm Flying High As A New Squid Angel

I Am A New Squid Angel and I Am Flying Over Knitting Patterns and Knitting Lenses - 2/5/2011

I am thrilled to be joining the ranks of Squidoo Angels. I have long sense wanted to become more active with giving back on Squidoo. I have been a member since 2007 and I became a Giant Squid in 2009. I have made some especially wonderful friends here and I really enjoy the sharing and caring that I always feel while on Squidoo.

I wanted to be the Squid Angel overlooking something I actually love. I am a knitter of several years. I love yarns and patterns and how to's. I love learning and trying new things. I enjoy unique ideas. I am not looking for anything specific on your lenses. But I will know when I find a lens worth blessings. I would hope you would have put your love of knitting into creating it. That will be very evident and I would be happy to bless it. And I would be thrilled to learn from you. So enjoy your lens making and put your love of knitting into it and earn my blessings.

And although Knitting patterns and knitting is my main focus. I will certainly be flying over all kinds of lenses and if I find something unique, or beautiful or emotion evoking, you will earn my blessing as well. I am looking forward to visiting many kinds of lenses. All I ask is that you put your love and enthusiasm into whatever your subject. Love your work.

This lens will be a place to organize all my blessed lenses. Also giving an extra backlink to that lens. Which will help the lensmasters and thank them for their great work. So feel free to check back often. Also I love knowing when one of my lenses has been blessed. So I will always let you know I flew by. Smiles to all of you.

Who wouldn't be happy joining the ranks of these Squid Angels?

Some of my favorite past and present angels (not all inclusive)

What You Can Expect From This Lens?

My plan is to keep track of the lenses I bless, categorized by the month of their blessing. My hope is to increase your traffic by a little as well as a little lensrank boost by the blessing. But most of all the recognition you deserve for a job well done. So I hope all will return often to check any progress made by your fellow lensmasters as well as yourself.

Oh By The Way - Just A FYI

If you are looking for your lens that was blessed and can't quite find it, don't get frustrated...Just keep scrolling, The current month of blessings is at the very bottom of this very long lens. I'll do something different for 2012, but you know its all about the recognition and that all important backlink, now isn't it? So keep scrolling... There's your lens! Have fun!

Why Knitting as my territory?

My Story as a knitter

I have been a knitter since about 1975. My mother tried to teach me. My grandmother tried to teach me. Many friends tried to teach me. I could not learn. Something was wrong with me. How could I not learn something that looked so fun and so beautiful? I was disgusted with myself.

Then one day I was at the hospital on break and I was sitting across from one of my nursing friends and she was knitting. I sat there mesmerized by the clacking of those needles. I wanted to learn this so badly but nothing in the world was going to make me face failure again.

She noticed me watching and asked if I knit. No, is all I said. She then asked me if I would like to learn. Sure I said, but I can't. Why not? Because something is wrong with me. I told her my story and she told me to come closer to her. I got up and sat next to her and she started showing me the knit stitch. It looked so easy but when I tried it just didn't happen for me. She watched me struggle and then suddenly asked, which is your dominate hand? I told her I was right handed.

Well I am left handed. She told me to pull up a chair across from her instead of beside her and she tried again. I watched her needles moving for awhile and it just sort of fell into place for me. She gave me the needles again and I have never put them down since.

I love knitting, I love everything about it. I even have a couple blogs about it. So it seemed like a wonderful thing for me to watch over and give blessings from these angel wings.

I Was Awarded a Second Neighborhood on 2/12/2011

Entertainment and Media>Celebrities>Film Stars

I'm a nurse, I'm a knitter, I'm an animal lover. What qualifies to be able to bless a lens about film stars? Tons of stuff!!

I love the movies.
I love looking at beautiful and handsome people
I love interesting people
I love a good story
I've had some practice watching movies
I recognize a good lens when I see it

So, with a second pair of wings, I plan to continue with the same plan of giving both neighborhoods backlinks by featuring them on this lens. We have some very amazing lensmasters on Squidoo and with the addition of both pairs of wings, I am pround to begin meeting you.

It is not known precisely where angels dwell -

It has not been God's pleasure that we should be
informed of their abode.
