I'm shamelessly stealing my friend Nova's birthday idea.
An eight day celebration of me, that culminates on my birthday!
And this year I'm celebrating by giving away something each day here. I missed my blogiversary and thought that this would be a good way to say thank you to all of you. I appreciate you coming to my little corner of the web.
What are the gifts? Mostly knitting related, but not entirely. We're a bit cat obsessed and I'm a horrible displininarian. So, I try to keep them away from the yarn, but I can't promise, if you're really allergic.
First up, a loofah, the same pattern I used at Christmas. And a loofah wouldn't be nearly as nice without something to use with it. I discovered Spiced Vanilla scent from the Body Shop at Christmas this year and I'm in love.
An alternative use for the loofah would be as a cat bonnet, but Sasha didn't appear enthused.
So, just tell me - bath or shower? I'm a bath person every time. I've turned down apartments because they only had a shower. I love bubbles but mostly I just relaxing. Usually I read too.
Just leave a comment any time before 11:59 p.m. on May 13th.
Pattern: Loofah or washcloth (and my Ravelry)
Yarn: Sugar 'n Cream Shade: Lavendar, 78 yards
Modifications: crocheted tie
Knitting yardage total 2012: 1111
Shower! I love hot water, but my low blood pressure means sitting in hot water makes me dizzy quite easily. Showers I can have a little hotter as I'm already standing and moving around more. (This is also why I don't do hot tubs - not since the time I passed out getting out of one after only 10 minutes.) I don't do baths, but can't do without my morning shower.

I'm allergic to cats, but I wouldn't mind washing the loofah before use anyway. :)...and I do like to admire other ppl's kitties via photos. Sasha sure is pretty. :)

heh heh poor sasha... it seems that the only cat who *likes* to wear hats is the cat in the hat :)
i am a shower girl all the way. not that that means i shower every day... heh heh no. i am an every-other-day on a good day kinda girl. (that's why i wear so many bandannas in my hair!)
you are so awesome with your birthday buildup giveaways. you're like a super-hobbit!!

Sasha looks like she loves that hat, maybe she would like a little kitty sweater as well? I've never tried vanilla scent before, I'm a huge fan of the lavender. I'm also definitely a shower person.

i too am an advocate for week long birthdays. especially since it give more room for others to wish me a happy birthday, and a few extra 'free' birthday cocktails :)
i choose both;) because it would depend on what kind of mood i am in at the moment, and how much time i have available.

Fun, isn't it? But be careful. It's the shipping that always surprises me every year. Just saying.

Shower. I like a bath on occasion, but I'm all about standing in a hard-pressure shower.
Okay--I think that's all I have time for tonight. I'll be back this week to catch up with the rest of the posts I've missed this past month (and oh yeah, I have a disc to send you too...crap, just remembered that...I'll get that out soon and we can call it a birthday present!)! Happy Birthday again Kathy!!
