Knitnut.net took fourth place in the Best Activities Blog category of The Canadian Blog Awards!
Hearty congratulations to fellow knitters Yarn Harlot who won, and Dr. Steph of And She Knits Too, who came in second.
Third prize went to a genealogical blog. (I know, I know, I was wondering the same thing – who can write a whole blog about their nether regions?? But it turns out it’s the other kind of genealogical blog.)
Knitnut.net came in fourth, while Maple Syrup and Poutine – a Canadian food blog – took fifth.
Anyway, I was perusing the fourth place winners in the other categories, and I’m in good company. Even though we didn’t win any official graphic prizes (only the First, Second and Third place winners got those) I still think we should Go Fourth with Pride.
The Canadian Blog Awards implemented a staggered release schedule for the announcements of winners (complete with videos!), so more are expected over the next few days. I’ll keep a running list of the fourth place winners here.
Without further ado, here are the

Congratulations!
Congratulations, Zoom. Well deserved, I must say.
On a completely different note, do we have a baby yet?
Thanks Dave and Aggie.
I got an email from AndrewZRX today saying they’re still pregnant but are heading in to the midwife for their second sweep. He also urged me to stop blogging about poop. (He has no idea how big a part of his life poop is about to become. Heh.)
Hi!… just a note from the “the other kind of genealogical blog”… you made me giggle!
Looking forward to reading your “Go Fourth” list!
Sarah “The Genealogist”
Well done!
#2 yesterday,
and #4 today.
Both good things.
Congrat’s Zoom!, what kind of traffic difference did the award make, did your visits skyrocket as a result? Enquiring potential bloggers want to know!
Cheers,
TW
Four Cheers for Us! And I have to say it’s awesome that 3 of the top 5 activity blogs are about knitting!
Yay and congrats! There was a TON of competition.
Number four from all the activity blogs in the entire country (which must be like about 3 million at least) is totally and completely awesome. I hope you and Duncan cracked open a bottle of champagne and a can of sardines to celebrate!!
Me too, me too! I’m #4 too! I really want one of those cool badges. I just might have to work some photoshop magic. And “I know, I know, I was wondering the same thing – who can write a whole blog about their nether regions??” made me snort coffee out my nose
Thanks for the link – love this post!
Congratulations, Zoom!!!
I love your blog. I appreciate that you write it. It makes me laugh regularly, and it makes me think as well – reading it is always time well spent, so thank you as well as congrats.
Sarah – welcome, and congratulations!
Kate and El Maggie!! Welcome and congratulations to both of you too!
Pearl – I had to think about that one for a minute, but it gave me a chuckle when I finally got it.
Techwood – I’m going to blog about that after the Awards wrap up, but in a word: YES.
Oma, Julia, XUP, Nancy, Dave, Aggie, TW, Pearl – thank you very much. It means a lot to me that people read it and like it enough to keep coming back.
Awesome! Congrats!
My blog will never win anything. heh
Thanks Em!
