In 2016, we have a very important birthday to celebrate – Caron Yarns is turning 100! 100 years ago, in 1916, the United States was in the middle of World War I. The National Park Service saw its creation that year, the Red Sox won the World Series, and Einstein was just putting the finishing touches on a little something called the theory of relativity. It’s amazing how much has changed in 100 years, and that Caron has been around to witness it all!
To celebrate this very important milestone, Caron wants to give YOU a gift (and so do we!) Throughout the year, they’ll be releasing 100 FREE knit and crochet patterns just for you! January kicked things off with 20 new hat patterns – you can view them here. The next installment will be their Helping Hands collection in March, a collection of patterns to be given to charities. In August they’ll be releasing a home decor collection, a clothing collection in September, and in October – the final collection – there will be a celebration of colorful patterns!
We, on the other hand, are giving away 7 SKEINS of Caron Simply Soft yarn, in the colors you need to make these gorgeous mood scarves. There’s a knit version of the pattern as well as a crochet version: click the pictures below to view the full patterns!
The idea of a mood scarf is that each day, you knit or crochet a certain amount of rows in the color that best describes how you feel. By the end of the month, you have a lovely scarf that also tracks how you felt as the days passed!
This giveaway has ended! Congratulations to Jayne R., our winner!
How would you celebrate your 100th birthday?

I wd celebrate my 100th birthday by having a small get together with loved ones. Then a relaxing evening of crocheting!
I will celebrate my birthday by going out to dinner with my family and having a big cake decorated in pink and yellow. My grand daughters will present me with a beautiful shawl and bag that they have crocheted for me. Afterward I will share some of my favorite patterns with them.
I would be so happy, that I would sit in my rocking chair with my favorite cat on my lap who always helps me crochet. I would have one of my ponchos on that I made with Caron yarn. Believe it or not, soft green! It turned out beautiful!!!
I want my picture taken to show my work of art!
I would spend my 100th birthday with my extended family enjoying a meal, sharing memories, singing around the piano, laughing and sharing LOTS of hugs.
With family and friends, grateful to still be celebrating 100 years!
I would celebrate with my beautiful grandchildren! Chocolate cake and cooked and cream ice cream. That would match my new mood scarf!
I would of course spend my 100th birthday with all of my loved ones enjoying past memories as well as creating new ones after all there is no better celebration than the celabration of life and becomming a Centerian would call for a huge celebration of life !!!
I would celebrate by being surrounded by my family and friends and eating a wonderful meal with my favorite wine! Then snuggling under a cozy afghan with my husband!
I would celebrate by hosting a crochet party with my family and friends and kf course Caron’s wonderful yarn!
At home, dinner catered in, cuddling with my godchildren, watching the latest big movie.
I love the colors
By going for a power walk and then settling in to crochet something simple.
All snuggled up in a granny square afghan. The square colors picked out and made by my children and grandchildren.
With all of them gathered around to celebrate with me.
I would bring the fun to the occasion by attempting to eat a tub of ice cream all myself, like old times.
Happy Birthday Caron Yarns! Thanks for all the free patterns and lovely fiber!
My birthday is the first day of spring, so I would enjoy the newness and beauty of the season surrounded by family and friends- eating, drinking, reminiscing, laughing.
I would celebrate my 100th birthday with family and friends, enjoying their company and talking about everything i’ve seen and done. Afterwards I would go home to relax and knit, if I am still able.
I hope to be here for my 100th birthday 🙂 In case I will be, I hope to spend it with my family and doing what I like most – crocheting 🙂
I would like to spend my 100th birthday with family, telling stories, holding babies, laughing and eating good food.
I would spend it with my family and friends and thanking GOD for every day that he has given me…
Yes..I would be most thankful to have lived to celebrate such a milestone. As long as my mind and hands were able..I`d be knitting something nice for someone
On my 100th birthday, I would extremely thankful to be able to spend that many years with friends & loved ones. I would only want to be at the family home, sitting in my rocking chair, in front of a cozy fire with a cozy soft CARON yarn Afghan wrapped around me while I watched the generations of my family & loved one’s share the stories & fond memories of me throughout their lives. The love & memories would bring meaning to all the years of my life.
I would celebrate with dinner and a movie…and maybe kick up my heels in handmade socks!
Oh, and knit a bit.
If I were fortunate enough to celebrate my 100th birthday, I’d like to spend the day with my husband, children, and future grand-children around me. That would be an amazing blessing!
I would celebrate by enjoying a meal and time with my family.
I would be crocheting of course and smiling at my great grand children…and thanking God for a long and wonderful life.
I would spend my day smiling that I made it that far
For me that can only be a dream to have. I rather think oh how I like to spend the hours, days, weeks and hopefully years left I have left to live.
First this mood scarf, whether I win or lose this giveaway is something I will make for myself because I feel it will be a comforting and healing project for me to do for myself.
Why I rather think about and celebrate the time I have left instead of when I’m 100, that’s because I am terminally ill and I know I will never make it to that age. And being that I just turned 39 on February 7, it’s a very sad and bittersweet feeling for me.
Thank you very much for having this giveaway because without it I would never of found out about this awesome scarf that I am sure will help me as I transition through the phases of the rest of my time here on earth.
I would probably eat some cake. Have people sing to me. Remember the good old days of having good eyesight and dexterity of my fingers to create new presents for friends and family. Then I’d take an extra long nap.
I would love to still be able to crochet when I reach my hundredth birthday. Having my family with me at the time. Love yarn.
I would spend my day on a warm beach with my family, have a nice meal and glass of wine at the end of the day, then go to bed marveling at the fact I lasted 100 years.
Since my bff’s birthday and mine are within a few days of each other we will most likely celebrate together with a dinner and cake.
I would celebrate my 100th birthday with my family – a mexican restaurant for lunch followed by a movie we would all enjoy. Finally, a walk in the park with my hubby. What a great day it will be!

On my hundredth birthday I expect to do what I do. The kids and grandkids come over for the day and AR night I knit. I’ll never give up knitting.
I would hopefully spend my 100th birthday with family.
I’d celebrate the 100th with my crochet buddies while drinking a cold soda and working on a crochet project. Happy anniversary.
I would throw a big (sober) bash of a pizza party!
I would have a party and thank God!
I would celebrate with my family of course first. I am very passionate about our military and community so I would go to the VA and give veterans scarfs and hats I have crochet plus lap quilts,. I crochet and quilt everyday and pray that God grants me the ability to do both until I am 100.
Having a big party with family and friends with lots of latter ànd lots of goodies to eat.
I would have my family and friends over for a big party with lots of food and I would be wearing one of my beautiful shawls that I crocheted with my caron yarn. This yarn I use the most its the best yarn and I love it.
at home with my children grandchildren a big dinner party then at night rocking my grandbabies
Firstly thanking God for blessing me with all these years; secondly doing what I love to do which is crocheting wonderful afghans for friends, family and for charity. Also, appreciating all the wonderful patterns to be found on the internet plus the chance to use really good quality yarn such as Karen yarn makes.
I would spend my 100th Birthday beginning with Praising My God and Savior on my knobby ole knees! I would then dive into my ButterCream iced chocolate birthday cake – at least a quarter sheet cake will be needed as I will revisit it through the day till gone! I would walk among my garden stopping to take handfuls of earth in my hands and smelling the lovely soil and collecting lovely ripened bounty! Lastly, I would choose my favorite colors of Caron Simply Soft yarn from my collection and spend the day crocheting my Prayer Shawls which are so dear to my heart. Bright beautiful colors to please the eye and soft lovely texture between my fingers! Then more cake!!!
If I live to be 100, well then I would start off with a couple of glasses of champagne and celebrate with my daughter, son, grand-kids and by then, great grandchildren. Hopefully my husband will be serenading me with song and playing on the guitar just like the night we me ! (even though by then he would be 104!)
I would have a nice get together with my family, and probably an open house.
I will spend my birthday will loved ones. Praising God for them and a wonderful life and all the hours of knitting he provided for me.
I would sit out on my front porch with all my crochet friends and family members. There would be a huge cake and many crochet projects in the works.
On my hundredth birthday, I would love to celebrate by taking a bike ride, followed by rock climbing, topped off by a big birthday cake surrounded by my family and friends. I would give all my attendees crocheted presents and celebrate all the wonderful things in life.
It’s hard to imagine my 100th birthday… but in an ideal world, I’d have a garden party with my kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, and 104-year-old husband 🙂
The same way as the previous 99 birthdays.
I’d probably spending it driving my friends and family crazy with stories of “when I was young…” lol

I’d want to spend the day with people I love, knitting something fantastic and taking a nice nap. 🙂
I would spend my 100th birthday with all my loved ones and have a good time.
Life is so precious that we need to make the most of every day. An occasion like a 100th birthday would find me as usual, celebrating with those near and dear to my heart, my family and friends. Since my birthday is in December and temperatures here are quite cold, I am sure that a favourite crocheted afghan or shawl would be near at hand to keep me warm. The memories that went in to making that particular afghan would be wrapped around me while I make some new memories on the day of my 100th birthday.
I think I would have a party and a nap.
100 years would have to be celebrated with a party! And the decorations would all be themed from the year I was born! That would be fun. On a side note, if your random number generator happens to pick this comment as the winner, please give the prize to Heather Martin, who commented earlier this morning. Go back and read her comment and you will see why.
Barb, I was just thinking the same thing!
With as many friends & family that are still around.
Should I be around when I’m 100, I think I would like to just spend it with my family and close friends just enjoying their company and celebrating life.

I would spend my 100th birthday enjoying the day with family and friends. I would also indulge myself and settle on the couch under a favorite afghan with a furry friend to watch a couple of my favorite movies. Oh, and have another piece of that birthday cake.
I would spend it with my family. And I would teach my grandchildren the love and usefulness of sewing and crocheting . Both the boys and the girls. I would record songs I sang to them and stories I told them when they were little so they could listen for themselves and for them to share with their children. I would reinforce that thoughtfulness and love are two of the most precious gifts we can give and receive. And of course, we’d take generation pictures!
Wine all around at the nursing home!
What an interesting project. I can imagine there is quite a variety from month to month if you made a scarf each month. I would love to be able to spend my 100th birthday beside my husband with my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and still be able to knit an crochet!
I love to knit with Caron’s simply soft yarn!
I would spend the day wrapped up in my favorite crocheted prayer shawl and my I love grandma coffee cup snug in its crocheted mug cozy praying for my loved ones. There might not be much I can do for my family or society at 100, but I can still pray.
On my 100th birthday I would just love to have the whole family together.

And my great-grandchildren will probably want to pet my shoulders.
I would celebrate my 100 birthday with a large party of family and friends gathered together with good food, music and dancing!
I would celebrate with spice cake with vanilla frosting, with my precious daughter and her family gathered around me. There would be 100 blue balloons filled with helium. And my 120 year old husband (well, actually 120 1/2) would tell me I am just a spring chicken.

100th birthday? I would celebrate with those I love who are still on the planet, and tell the young ones all about the things I’ve seen change over the years and more importantly that the best things have stayed simple and wonderful–like crocheting, walking in a beautiful garden, and hugging those you love!
I would first thank god that I turned 100 then would enjoy a early in the day party (because at 100 I am sure I will be tired later in the day) with all my family and friend. 🙂 I hope I can still crochet …. 🙂
By simply breathing! I’d be amazed that I’d lived that long.

Oh boy, would I celebrate! Everyone I love and cherish will be with me, laughing, reminiscing, looking forward to the future and just enjoying being together and alive. I’ll be surrounded by all my favorite foods, my picture albums and unfinished knitting projects. I’ll teach someone how to knit so she can carry on where I leave off. I’ll thank God and my parents for giving me life. Before I go to sleep, I’ll kiss and snuggle my best friend, my husband.
I will celebrate with loved ones, giving each one a hand knit gift for remembrance of me. And I want a cake with 100 candles to light up the night!!
With my loved ones and thanking God for every precious second!
By doing something on my bucket list, which would probably be jumping out of an airplane!
With lots of yarn and a great party. 🙂
With a lot of noisemakers, fireworks, a band and a lot of lovely people all around me.
Will celebrate my 100 th birthday with my hubby in our home with my two daughters & their families!
I would celebrate with my Grandaughter. We would sit and drink Ice tea together and crochet some granny squares, as it is too hot in August to crochet anything else. Later the rest of the family there would be a big cake with lots of candles that all the grandkids would help me blow out. It would be a fun filled day with the ones I love.

As my birthday is five days before Christmas, more than likely I would have a family vathering. The house would have the tree and decorations and lots of lights. I would be in my recliner either knitting or crocheting on my Christmas presents fibbing to everyone as to who I would be making my gift for!
First I’d thank God for all the Blessings not the least of being able to see my 100th birthday. I’d spend time with family and friends. Maybe see a movie. I’d also make time to crochet or knit, my favorite is hats.
Outside, in a park under a tree…with my great grandchildren and their children. Lots of love.
I hope I will be fortunate enough to live to 100 with fairly good health and memory. I would love family to be present and an open house for friends to drop by. I also would like any presents to be donations to a designated group since what would a 100 year old woman need at this point in her life.
Anything with family and friends. Just being with loved ones is a celebration.

I would like to celebrate it with my family most of all and friends. Joking with them, wondering how I ever made it to 100 years old.
I would spend it with my family and crochet
If I lived to see my 100th birthday, I would hope to be healthy enough to have a family party with children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I’d like a nice meal, cake and ice cream afterwards, and then music.
Like my Grandma did for her 100th a big family reunion with the e Johnson family.
I would hope, that if I lived to be 100, I would be in reasonably good health, sound mind, and still be able to knit. I would like to be able to celebrate this milestone with anyone that would like to celebrate it with me. Good food and lots of laughs and stories to be enjoyed by all.
At home with my cat, a book, and a lot of coffee.
I hope to celebrate my 100th birthday with my family gathered around for cake and icecream then snuggle up with my husband
I doubt I will make it to my 100th birthday, but if I did, i would love a family get together/reunion with all of my loved ones near and far, my daughter, my son, my grand children, everyone 😀 I think a nice picnic would be nice but since my birthday is in December, I would have to settle for a nice party/reunion in my house or anywhere else that would work for all to meet at. I would thank god that I am still alive and kickin and full of spirit and fun. I love to knit and crochet, so I hope I am still able to make things/gifts. I love making things for my grand children and seeing their faces light up when they get their gift that I made.
Should I be so lucky, I will spend the day with family and crocheting or knitting my latest project.
I think I’d go out and have my favorite food ,( Chinese)! Bring the kids,& grandkids! Just have a nice get-together,& enjoy the company! Then I’d go home and relax by doing something I would enjoy,(knitting or crocheting) , & watching some shows on tv, then I’d probably fall asleep
I would spend my 100th birthday with my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I would show them my craft room which I have waited for for too many years. I am so excited about it and want to fill it with colors, colors, colors.
I would celebrate just being alive if I were to make it to that age
Hopefully with my husband and family, in a warm and comfortable home with a catered dinner and a good movie
skydiving and a big ol’ glass of booze!
If my kids or grandkids don’t take me out to eat on my 100th birthday, they will be in trouble!! Probably for some delicious seafood… 🙂 If I’m too old to eat cake, I’d settle for a yarn cake!!
Passionate lovemaking with my 40 year old lover!
For my 100th birthday all i would want is to dance with my husband. We were married on my birthday 🙂
I would hope and pray at 100 years old, I could still crochet. I would ask for more yarn and spend the day crocheting.
A trip to Disney World or Scotland!
Making it to my 100th birthday would truly be an achievement! I would want to enjoy with friends and family remembering all of the challenges survived and reviewing the phenomenal changes that had occurred during that hundred years!
Since my 27th birthday isnt far away (march 2nd) i would celebrate my 100th by doing what i love most spending time with my miracle lil boy who was born at 27 weeks and going to a nicu and help other families as much as possible. I am working on crocheting totea for the moms theres alot of papers and breast pump supplies that have to be carried and it will help them going to see there babies.
I hope I would still be knitting and crocheting on my 100th birthday. I would relax with a tranquil blue and green fiber project for charity filling in the blank spots in my milestone day. Hopefully my family would join me for lemon meringue pie (not a fan of cake) and lemon ice. At 100, I should be allowed to eat and knit/crochet to my heart’s content – at least on my day!
I think, for my 100th birthday, I ll crochet 100 things to give away. Maybe 100 afghans for the homeless shelter or 100 blanket for the animal shelter : )
I have an extremely large family of 12 brothers and sisters, their spouses, their children, and their children, along with my son, his wife, and my granddaughters. If I were to live to be 100 I would love to have all of them there to have a rip roaring party.
I hope on my 100th I’ll be knitting and crocheting for my great great grandchildren.
If I’m lucky enough to live that long, I’ll pop a few wheelies in my wheelchair and have a shot of Jager!

I’d love to just have a huge gathering with my entire family and cake!
If I live to see my 100th birthday, my best gift would be to be able to celebrate it with all of my family. I will wear my mood scarf, that I’ve made with Caron yarns and feel beautiful and very special! Happy birthday Caron! Thank you for all the lovely yarns and great patterns!
Cake and ice cream and a big family picture.
If I live to 100 I hope my children , husband and long time friends are still alive and healthy enough to help me celebrate. Instead of gifts I would love for each person to bring food or money for the local food bank or knitted garments for the homeless I would like to celebrate by having an open house where all were welcome to drop by. The more the merrier.
Pizza, beer, and Motown!
For my hundredth birthday celebration I would be happy to just spend it with my son and some cheesecake…lots of cheesecake
If I would live to be 100 I would observe that day by gathering around me those who love me. I’d sit in a rocking chair in the shade of a big old country porch and watch the children playing in the sunshine, listening to their laughter. Afterward we’d enjoy a “reunion” dinner of all the comfort food everyone brought. Then as the evening approached I’d ask for my hand-knitted afghan done in the glorious warm colors of “Caron” and wrapped in it’s cuddly soft warmth I’d enjoy visiting the rest of the evening with my daughters, grandchildren and yes, the great grandchildren. Surrounded by love and “Caron” I’d surrender myself to sleep looking forward to a bright tomorrow.
On my 100th birthday, I would love to be surrounded by all my loved ones!
On my 100th B/D I would take a trip and travel for 101 days with 7 colors of yarn to document each day of my escapade in a crocheted scarf/shawl with varied stitches. If I run out of yarn en route, I would make sure that I find the nearest LYS to restock my inventory as I continue to reach the last day of my journey.
Hopefully, I would be healthy enough to be surrounded by and accompanied by my dearest family members for their celebratory support of this special milestone.
These yarn would be a nice birthday present for me. My birthday is on March 11 and it would be a pleasure to crochet something for my six kids in these colors your giving as a gift. I know I would make pretty moody hats with them since I have four girls. I can’t wait to see if I would be pick for this gift.
On my 100th birthday I would like to be sitting on the porch of my future home with a crocheted Ruana sipping tea (real grey) and watching the ocean water which has provided many dinners to my family. I would also like to reminis about my life and eat another fish and crab from the ocean for dinner.
curl up with a good book at night after crocheting away my day..
I would celebrate my 100th with Caron. I would be crocheting a pair of birthday booties made with Caron Simply Soft yarn.
I Will prepare myself crocheting and kniing the most colorful dress and hat I could imagine. Even if the colors don’t matche if I am proud to wear them I”ll be so happy to see all my loved ones. We will celebrate around a beautifull table with my best receipes. I hope I don’t have to use the mixer to taste it!
I would celebrate my 100th birthday with all my family and friends, just like all my other birthdays!
I can only hope I am around to celebrate my 100th with my Family. Kids, Grand Children, Great and Great Great Grand Children. I would love a casual day spent in the park with burgers and hot dogs. Then a quiet evening with my favorite hook and yarn.
I will celebrate my 100th birthday with a Caron Simply Soft knitted sweater or shawl wrapped around my shoulders. My family will all be there to help celebrate. The first and last thing I will do is thank God for giving me such a wonderful, long life to praise Him.
I would celebrate with all my family, I have 2 daughters and 1 son and 5 grandchildren. I adore having then around and we like to go walking at every chance possible. In my spare time I like to knit, my eldest granddaughter is a dancer so has asked for legwarmers so i’m busy making them.
Je célèbrerais mes 100ans avec mes amours et mon crochet et mes bouts de laine!
Quietly. I don’t like to fuss about birthdays.
Being Blessed with my hundredth birthday, I would celebrate with all my family, food and dancing . Then I would present to each one with something that I have knitted especially for them so they would have something to remember me by. Then we would deliver all the hats and shawls I have ready, to deliver to all the charities I knit for. Then they can see the smiles and joy that these heartfelt gifts bring to others, Worth more than money can buy.
Being surrounded by loved ones and keeping busy with my knitting and crocheting.
On my 100th birthday, I would begin a brand new crochet project….or two… Maybe something that incorporated a little bit of everything from my life represented by it’s own stitch.
I would celebrate by being grateful that I was still alive!!!
I would hope to have chocolate cake and be able to do my crafting the rest of the day. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.
With family, flowers, chocolate, yarn and hooks and needles ( and likely a magnifying glass!).
I would have as many of my family as possible to be together. Nothing is more enjoyable than family. I plan to live until I am 120 years old at least so should have a lot big family. I have 27 right now so we’ll see. Hopefully be able to give all my kids quilts that I’m working on by then. Trying to make one for each. So much fun having family, playing horseshoes, watching kids on swings, and just enjoying the scene!!
I’d just be thankful for living long, and i would be crocheting in a cozy chair with a nice warm blanket.
I think i will be surrounded by family and crochet. Ahhh Crochet and Knitting.
🙂
I would celebrate my 100th birthday with cake! All kinds of cake! Cake for everyone!
How would I celebrate my 100th birthday? The same as I celebrate my birthday now. With good friends, family and good food.
I would celebrate my 100th surrounded by my family. I have 7 kids and 8 grandchildren now so I imagine in 42 years, my family would be bursting at the seams. Luckily my birthday is in the summertime so we could spend it outside in the yard; the men playing horseshoes and the women sitting around chatting and crocheting while the children are running around playing everywhere!!
For my 100th birthday, I would love to be in good enough shape to go for a nice walk, enjoy the outdoors and then curl up on the couch with a good movie and my family around me.
I would celebrate by asking one of my grandkids to make me my favorite cake- Oreo!
I would celebrate my 100th birthday by knitting all day, then having a cake with my family at night. Then I’d probably go to bed really, really early.
I would celebrate with my newly adopted granddaughter and family. My head is spinning thinking about all that I can knit and crochet for her, with all those beautiful colors!
Price of admission to my party, cardboard tombstones with “Gwenisms” posted in my front yard. Wheel chair races would be on the street out front (closed of course for the duration of the party) and everyone who attends would also need to bring a skein of yarn (I will of course still be an active yarn artist). There will be yellow cake with thick sickly sweet frosting, a wide variety of ice cream flavors, hamburgers, hot dogs and a big bowl of potato salad. Aw heck, this sounds fun enough to do on my next birthday, don’t think I’ll wait until I’m 100.
I would celebrate my 100th birthday by sharing my good fortune….a catered dinner at a homeless shelter….sharing scarves and hats for those who need them…a helping hand for those who want…and gathering/sharing resources to help those who want and will use them. I have been very blessed in my life and would use this gift to “””spread the wealth”….
If I am blessed to be celebrating my 100th birthday, I would love to spend the day partying with my family and friends. My family is musically talented, therefore there would be lots of music. And, needless to say, tables full of potluck that everyone has lovingly prepared to share. I would request that everyone bring pictures of all of the crazy things that we have all been a party to over the years, as well as the quiet times we’ve shared just being together, being loved. I would like to see the faces of the younger generation listening to the stories of the older folks reminiscing the past. Watching their eyes light up at the thought that these old folks were actually more like them than they once imagined. I would like to see the generation gap disappear on this one special day, and young and old come together to laugh and cry as one.
Family is EVERYTHING to me and when I turn 100 yrs, I would spend the day surrounded by them and their giggles, beautiful smiles, and awesome hugs. I’d feel protected and loved by them all!
I will spend the day laughing with family and friends and eating lots of cake.
My hundredth birthday couldn’t be celebrated in just one day. I would need a few days to a week to celebrate. I would have to celebrate with family and close friends. But would need time to celebrate doing two other things close to my heart church and giving back to others what I love most.
I will be sitting in my recliner, curled under one afghan while making another afghan or something for one of my grandchildren. They like the soft and cozy warm feeling because two are in chilly Denmark and two in chilly towns/cities along the Rocky Mountains in the US, like me.
Thank you for all of your “Tips and Tricks”; several have been very helpful.
I would thank God to have lived that long. Good food and a movie would also be nice.
I would spend it cuddled up in an afghan watching movies or playing games with my husband, my 4 kids, and hopefully their kids! Finishing the day off with a slice of my favourite Pumpkin Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting! Yummmmy 🙂
I haven’t really thought about what I’d do on my 100th birthday. I’d probably still be glorying God with singing and praise. I’d also still like to be able to volunteer for the Hands of Hope ministry at my home church. But if I were to win I’d like to give my prize to Heather Martin who commented above that she is terminally ill. I’ll keep you in prayer Heather. May God bless your remaining days.
With my husband at Sicilian villa.
I just saw a woman who is 106 years old dancing at th White House. I hope on my 100th birthday that I will wear purple and that I will dance!
My perfect 100 year birthday party would be spent with those I love and me teaching each of them how to crochet. And they would like it!
Lovely colors that I am looking forward to knitting with!!
I’ll have dinner with my family, and then sit down and knit or crochet, for I’ll still betrying to use up my stash!
I would absolutely love to still be scuba diving if I make it to 100 years. So, I would love to do a 100-year dive!
I would spend my 100th birthday snuggled up with my boyfriend and my best friend, watching movies and/or reading.
beautiful colors!
I will celebrate my 100th birthday eating Mexican food and wearing a crocheted hat and a knitted lap robe made by my grandchildren.
I would hope to have a huge party!
Will be celebrating my birthday with my husband with dinner and a movie.
Playing board games with kids and grandkids, having a cup of cocoa and chocolate chip cookies – and doing crafts of course!
I would celebrate by playing with my great-great-grand children and all of their parents and siblings. Champagne and lots of chocolate with steaks for dinner or maybe omit the dinner and just have dessert.☺
If I reached my 100th b-day I would celebrate with my family and friends. Then after the party I would knit away to my hearts content ( or until I fall asleep ) whichever would come first!
I would like to be with all my loved ones. My grand kids tell me I will never stop crocheting. I always crochet presents for them all year round for Christmas. So I will probably be crocheting after or during if there is not anything for me to do. Have to stay busy where ever I am.
I would more then likely trying to follow a new crochet pattern and ripping out rows of stitches where I lost my count. Hope I keep my eyesight!
My birthday is the day after Christmas. I hope to celebrate my 100th surrounded by my family, wrapped in their warmth and love.
I would celebrate the 100th by crocheting hats and scarfs for all my great grandchildren. I always enjoy crocheting for them or the sick children at a local hospital.
I hope to still be crocheting for my church on that day. Happy Birthday Caron!
I would hope I’m able enough to do something crazy like skydiving and then have a huge celebration with family and friends!
It would be truly amazing to be able to celebrate 100 years of living. How fortunate and wonderful that would be! I would celebrate with my family and closes friends,reminiscing of all the things I have seen and done in that 100 years. What a blessing this would be!
Simply Soft is definitely my go-to yarn ever since I discovered it last year. It works up well and remains soft, even after repeated washings. The colours are awesome, too.
I would celebrate my 100th birthday by watching the sun rise, then relaxing in my favorite chair with my favorite afghan I’ve made, hopefully still able to crochet and work on an afghan, and then spend the day with my family and watch the sun set.
I would have a party with friends and family.
I want to spend my 100th birthday surrounded by my children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and great nieces and nephews. Hopefully at least one of brothers will still be around to celebrate with me as well. There would be food, music, and lots of laughter and love!
I love the idea of the mood scarf project. I’d love to win the yarn and get started on this project right away.
My 100th birthday would be celebrated with cake and ice cream and gifts of yarn from everyone.
Should I make it to 100, I will be with my family at a quiet celebration at home. Hopefully I will still be active enough to continue knitting and crocheting for them.
I would love to celebrate being 100. Family Friends and those that are dear to me. Perhaps a gathering. I would not want to have an “old” celebration
I would probably have a get together with my family with all of my favorite foods, pictures, stories and music! We would drink my favorite wine!
I would like to spend 100 years of crocheting with the rainbow colors of Caron and make a 100 projects with more than 100 Caron colors over the years… and spend 100 hours with 100 family members and friends celebrating my 100th birthday.. with 100 candles…
If I could live to be 100 I would love to have a nice big party with all my living loved ones who where willing to come and celebrate at make a way for them to all get to the same place, like a family reunion. No gifts jus good food and drinks and smiles.
Immersed in a tub of the softest yarn!
I woul spend my 100th Birthday being thankful that I was still alive and well enough to still knit and crochet. Been using Caron for years and hope to be still using it in 2034.

Caron is turning 100
And they gave me this great yarn
To knit a bit each day
In colours soft and warm.
A few years down the road
100 I will be
The scarf was knit with seven
And I’ve added a few bits more.
The sweater, socks and blanket
A hat upon my head
That’s what I’ll be wearing
Me and Caron, 100 more
I would teach my great grandchild a new stitch.
With family and friends.
I would celebrate surrounded by family and friends – and my favorite foods!
If I live that long I would probably be crocheting.
Since my grandmother just celebrated her 104th birthday in good health, I’m hoping to see my 100th someday too! I would celebrate with family and friends and then hope to have my daughter and daughter-in-law and my grandchildren come and crochet with me after the party! I’ve been crocheting since I was 10 years old and hope to pass along the joy of the art to many generations to come!
My 100th will be spend with family, eating, reminiscing, knitting and end with me dividing my yarn stash among my great, great, great-nieces and nephews and their parents. That will be my ultimate pleasure.
I would hope I could still pick up and knit another Charity hat. It will take me til 100 to use up the stash. But I could still be convinced to start another project when I win! the Caron bundle. Thanks Caron for the chance.
I absolutely love the rainbow of colors in the scarf.
I will be celebrating my 100th birthday on July 5, 2049 with my youngest daughter whose birthday is also July 5! She will turn 66. She and my two other daughters and my grandchildren and probably great grandchildren by then will have our annual birthday barbque party!
I would spend time with family and friends, enjoying food and laughs.
If I live to 100 I think I’d like to have my favorite meal and a big, beautiful birthday cake. I’d also like to have every member of my family there to help me celebrate!
Since I’m only 69, who knows if I’ll make it!! LOL!!! However, I’d have to praise God for taking me so far!! And then I’d join with kids and grandkids and great-grandkids for a celebration, after which I’d just snuggle down and crochet away!!!
Sitting in my favorite chair, wrapped in an afghan/shawl that I crocheted, reminiscing of years past, lessons learned, people in my life, drinking a latte, and looking ahead to what was still to come……………….and wouldn’t it be awesome if I had a skein of yarn and crochet hook in my hand attached to a project I am working on……………………….waiting for all of my loved ones to come and share my birthday cake with me……………………….hopefully one baked by my husband who is an amazing baker.
I would like to stand in a pulpit and preach and praise that day, then have a birthday party in the fellowship hall and give everyone ELSE presents that I have made.
Probably with cake and plenty of food, surrounded by family. Then I’d take a nap!
1ooth Birthday? That would be the day that I would do whatever I wanted to do, no holds barred!
If I live to be 100 I hope I will still have a good mind and be able to do needle work .
I would skydive. wowowow
With all the family gathered around, talking, laughing and eating; enjoying being together and loving one another.
If I make it to 100, I’d like to have a seafood dinner, and chocolate cake, After we got home, my hubby and I would sit and knit the rest of the evening. And I would probably still be telling him to knit a gauge swatch first, LOL.
I would thank God for the many blessings I have enjoyed. Remember the happy times with loved ones. Eat all the things I am allergic to. Start an heirloom afghan.
I would be knitting for charity, enjoying cake and ice cream with family 🙂
with cake and ice cream for sure!!
I’d like to have a huge family reunion/BBQ, complete with great food, lots of cake, and Rum Cherry ice cream. We’ll have a “craft along”, and donate our projects to charity.
I would have prepared for my 100th Birthday by, crocheting me a head scarf, and a shawl.
Gather my grandchildren and hopefully great grandchildren, and other family and go dancing in the rain, and stomping in puddles. Smile with all the kids and gather for memory pictures. To remind them when they need a grandma hug, take out the crochet blankets that Grandma made for them, with their names, and she will always be there for them with warm hugs.
I would surround myself with every member of my family, from far and wide together. Instead of gifts to me, lets face it, I’m 100, what do I need? So I would like to give gifts to all of them. And then of course ice cream, lots and lots of ice cream : )
It wouldn’t be unreasonable to imagine I might celebrate a 100th birthday as several people in my family have lived to be 100+ years! To celebrate I’d like to play my violin, have my favorite dinner and smoke a cigar, and a shot of vodka too!
I would celebrate by sitting on the porch of my beach front home in South Carolina surrounded by my loving family.
If God were to bless me to live for 100 years, I’d celebrate my century by doing all the things I love to with all the people I love. Then, I’d do something charitable to benefit others. Before going to sleep, I’d snuggle up, write some personal notes, sip a cup of tea, and read a few more pages of the novel I was reading.
I hope to stamping, sitting and knitting.
I will celebrate my 100th birthday by thanking God for another day and dancing for the pure joy of it. If I can’t actually dance, I’ll sing for the pure joy of it. If I can’t sing, I’ll just wear a big smile.
TO BE HONEST, I AM HOPING TO BE IN HEAVEN BY THE TIME MY 100TH BIRTHDAY ROLLS AROUND. IF NOT, THAT WILL MEAN GOD STILL HAS WORK PLANNED FOR ME HERE.
IF I LET MY FRIENDS AT CHURCH KNOW ABOUT THE BIRTHDAY, I WOULD ALMOST GUARANTEE THEY WOULD HAVE A CONGREGATIONAL POTLUCK PARTY. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE AT LEAST SOME OF THE HUNDREDS OF KIDS I TAUGHT IN SUNDAY SCHOOL AND PUBLIC SCHOOL OVER THE YEARS.
First, I would wake up and have a great breakfast of eggs and toast. I would then visit with friends. Lunch would consist of tacos. Next, I would spend all afternoon crafting with friends. Supper would be lobster. And finally a movie with the family.
Only 32 years to go! God willing, I would celebrate with family and friends. My mother taught me to crochet a chain when I was about six years old. I would sit in the kitchen, while mom cooked, and make crochet chains a mile long. Then undo it all and start over again. I loved it. When older, I purchased a “How-to” book and taught myself the basic stitches. And I do it all left-handed. I just follow the directions and it turns out right. Never needed a ‘left-hand’ pattern. I learned the basic knit and purl stitches of knitting from a friend when I was about 13, but I knit right-handed. Love yarn, love creating.
My goodness! if I make it to 100, I will celebrate by skydiving if I’m able. I’ve never done it but if I see that milestone, why not? I guess I’d also go home and start my very upbeat, many shades of pink mood scarf, too!!
By thanking GOD for letting me see a new birthday, and for the previous years And have me a piece of Red Velvet Cake.
I would celebrate mine the same way my great-granddaddy did his, surrounded by friends and family. He a great party at the retirement home, with all of the kids, grandkids, and great-grands. He had a great cake, loads of food, dancing, and lots of hugs! I would want my birthday to be exactly the same!
I will make hats and mittens for the homeless, There is several places around where these things are hung in plastic bags from fences, trees,ect. for my 100th birthday I hope to share with the friends and family who are still with me. I will be giving thanks to a loving God who had allowed me to live that long and still being abled to crocetg things for the homeless.

Wine, cake, and trying to figure out how I can live long enough to use up my yarn stash!!
Maybe that robot body will be the answer. ;D
Embarrassing my relatives as much as possible!
At my 100th birthday celebration, I want to be surrounded by my family and friends, reminiscing about days, times, and people that have passed before while sharing good food, good times and much love. Then I will present everyone there with a hand-knitted gift to remember me by!
I don’t know. Probably spend time with my family, and enjoy a long life lived.
I would just spend the day with the people I love (no special meal required).
I would spend my 100th Birthday with family and friends giving them knit or crocheted items I have made for them. Afghans, sweaters, hats, scarves to remember me by always.
Well, if I make it that far, I’ll be celebrating for the entire year by eating cake ice cream for breakfast every day that year! I’d be doing everything I like to do during that entire year like making things with my hands using fibers and wood. I’d be reading, learning, eating healthy and delicious food, visiting places I have not been and maybe revisiting my favorite places. I’d do it all with my favorite people. I’d also want to focus on making others feel loved, appreciated, and needed. That is very important to me. I want people to feel good about themselves when they are around me.
p.s. Caron Simply Soft is my favorite kind of yarn.
Spending time with my family.
probably the same way I’ll be spending my 62nd birthday Saturday — figuring out what new project to tackle this year and which ones to finish.
God forbid I live that long. But if I must, then there must be wine. Lots of wine. On a different note, I really enjoy crocheting with Caron Simply Soft yarn. It lives up to its name beautifully.
I’d sleep.
I would start with a nice hot cup of coffee while sitting outside with my husband and pets (a dog or two). Then I would sit and relax in my rocker while crocheting my newest great grand baby a cocoon or blanket using Caron Simply Soft Yarn.
I would like to think I will celebrate 100 year Birthday with full ability to still Crochet and knit and my mind 100% there fully understanding what is going on in the world.
I probably will be setting in my rocking chair crocheting a granny square afagan and drinking my fresh made secret lemonade. And watching my favorite movie on tv.
Would love to win the Caron yarn! I made so many hats and gloves this winter, so I need to resupply.
And I love Caron to work with, it is soft and never tangles! Tks for the chance!
I would celebrate with the remaining family members. A huge chocolate cake with coolwhip topping. An awesome meal would be great also.
I would have a birthday party with the people i love and count my blessings i lived so long.
I hope I will still be ticking items off my bucket list! Family, friends, food and knitting 🙂
100 years! I would celebrate with friends and family, a simple home cooked meal, good wine, a decadent dessert. Much laughter and love.
I would spend it with all of my great-great-great-great-….children on up to my beautiful daughter. That would be awesome! I would teach the youngest my favorite hobby, crochet. Using my favorite yarn, carton, of course!
I would spend it with my oodles of great grandchildren all the way up to my beautiful daughter! I would teach the youngest ones my favorite hobby, crochet, with my favorite yarn, Caron!
I would love to spend my 100th birthday with my family and hopefully be able to squeeze a little bit of crocheting in there too!
I would celebrate with a family all around, hopefully a ribeye steak and all the trimmings. While listening to everyone talk and watching the “kids” play I would be knitting on a prayer afghan.
I would love to celebrate with my family and closest friends.
First I’d like to say HAPPY 100TH Caron. It would be my mother’s 100th birthday this year also and I wish she were still here.
I would love to celebrate my 100th birthday with my son, grandsons and all of their beautiful children, sitting around and telling stories of my life and that of family achievements.
on the porch watching the sunset after a day of sunshine, summer fruits and vegetables I got from my own garden in a sweater I knit from Caron simply soft yarn, love it.
I would spend my 100th birthday at my fav place, the beach! Sitting under the canopy enjoying watching my great grandchildren play in the surf.
I would celebrate my 100th birthday by enjoying the day with friends and family, listening to some of my favorite music to remind me of the many wonderful memories from the past.
I have some wonderful family and friends that love Texas country music. I would celebrate with them by having a small private concert with one of my favorite new artists. We would dance, sang and eat cake!
I don’t want to live that long.
I would celebrate with family at a nice restaurant and then a huge party with family and friends at a local seniors center (dance music as well)!
I would spend it with my family and our dogs. Can’t be much of a celebration without having our dogs there too !
I can’t wait to see this yarn in person!
I’m not “Caron”” what my mood is today. As long as I can knit it will be a good day!
I would spend my 100th birthday cuddling on the sofa with all my great grandchildren sitting around and teaching them how to crochet.
I would celebrate my 100th birthday by sipping a glass of wine and crochet an afghan if I could still
crochet and think about what has taken place in that timeline.
With a big piece of cake!
Hopefully, upright and coherent! But it would be with family and there would have to be a chocolate cake.
I’d hope to be sitting in my rocking chair during the winter in front of the wood burning stove, with my cat and dog close by and nice cup of Earl Grey Tea. Busy knitting gifts for the family!
I would definitely be celebrating one way or another – depending on my health at that age. I love to dance so I hope to be doing that with one of my great grandchildren and of course my crocheting project would be close at hand. Because the love of crocheting is what got me to be 100 years old.
I would have dinner at one of the great Chinese restaurants in my neighborhood and add to my already excessive stash of yarn.
At 100 I would have a smallish party with a glass of my favorite whiskey and make the younger generation listen to the music of my youth. The one to stick it out the longest gets everything.
I would celebrate by going to a rock concert.
I would spend my 100th birthday with all my children, grand children, great grandchildren, and great great grandchildren. It would be a big family picnic with cheesecake and cheeseburgers and fireworks in the evening.
I would celebrate surrounded by family and friends. We would be reminiscing about changes that have occurred over that time and than trying to predict what is yet to come for the future.
I would celebrate by doing MY favorite thing…..making something with yarn! Knitting, Weaving, crocheting…..whatever.
I will celebrate by having some cake and soy ice cream.
100th birthday? I’ll celebrate by trying something new!
I would spend my 100th birthday with my family, and celebrate Thanksgiving Day with them. And have cake and Ice cream. You’re never too old to have cake and Ice cream.
100 years! My goodness, Happy 100th Caron Yarn!! I would love this prize for the simple fact that I have just learned a new stitch (K1b) and a mood scarf would be the perfect project to make with this wonderful variety of colored yarns. But how ill I celebrate 100? I pray to God I make it first! But if I do I think I would like to go out for a nice dinner with my friends and family. Afterall, they are part of the reason I made it this long!! 🙂 <3
I would have a party with all my loved ones, and we would have some amazing food and good times 🙂
I would celebrate by playing bridge in the afternoon and crocheting with Carron yarn in the evening A perfect day!
Wow first I would have to live long enough to make it to 100 if I managed that incredible feat I would want my whole family there with me to celebrate . Life is great hope everyone has a great day.
well… I’m only half way there…But my assumption is that I would have to spend it with my children and grand children, Knitting and chatting and maybe teaching someone something… However if I have my druthers I will be cycling, Knitting and eating everything set before me……..
I like the idea of a mood scarf… but I don’t wear scarfs. I guess I’d have to do it as a wimple… at least that way I’d have something warm and snuggly on the motorcycle.
The Mood Scarf would be a perfect project for those days when you need something to occupy your mind (like relaxing after having come-and-go visitors for a 100th birthday) and would make a perfect give-to-charity item.
Start the day early with me at a celebratory breakfast with my kids, grandkids and great-grandkids. Then put on our matching hats and head off to a hot-air balloon ride! I’ll tie on my mood scarf and take off on a glorious ride with my husband. When I come back down to earth my family will be waiting for me!
I have been using this yarn forever. My children and grandchildren like the softness and the feel. Keep making products like this and we will keep buying.
I guess I would spend it wrapped in a warm afghan I had crocheted 50 years earlier and with family and friends new and old.
I’ll go to Tanglewood, in the Berkshires, to hear a concert. That’s where all my best summer memories are. Gather up my friends for a huge party on the lawn at Tanglewood!
I would hope to have all my family around to celebrate the day, It would be the best time to hand out all of the crocheted items I have hoarded from them for many years, table cloths, bedspreads, afghans and doilies and all kinds of little projects. They know that they are done and one child asks often when he can have his bedspread, my reply is “when I feel like it”. I would also give my volumes of patterns and hooks and accessories to the grandchild that crochets, only one has interest so far. It would be a great day of fun and enjoyment for all.
For my 100th birthday. I would want a room filled from floor to ceiling in yarn and just have a great time picking and choosing what yarn to pull out for the next 100 day’s and then that would be my 100th blanket to make
I will celebrate my 100 birthday as I celebrate every day, with gratitude and awe, love and joy. I am grateful for having creative skills such as crochet and knitting, passed down to me by the women in my family and from crafters around the world. Its an incredible joy to say “I made this, for you.”
a party with whatever friends and family are still alive
I would celebrate my 100th birthday all year long. That’s too important of a milestone for just one day. A parade would start off the year long celebration.
I would celebrate my 100th birthday (hopefully) with my husband, children,grandchildren, great-grandchildren and a few friends. My cake would be very luscious and lemon. Whatever activity we will be doing I can almost guarantee I will have a pair of knitting needles in my hands (per usual or some people may not recognize me) knitting something for someone probably at the party. It will be a wonderful day, sunny and warm (as my 3rd grandchild says “Grandma can make the sun come out wherever we are”!)
My cousin was 100 January 11, 2016. She still knits baby sweaters and hats for the Sweater Angels at our local hospital and I try to keep her supplied with yarn.
The Caron yarn makes the shiniest little baby items. We would love to have a gift of yarn.
I am determined to live to celebrate my 100th birthday. I plan to gather my children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and maybe even a couple of great great grandchildren plus my friends. We will gather together at one of my favorite campgrounds in the Land of Enchantment and celebrate all of our lives. We will dance and sing and remember. Then we will eat our favorite — banana split cake.
I would spend my 100th birthday giving thanks to my Lord for allowing to live a full life.
I would be sitting on the front porch crocheting the perfect blanket I invented for my new great, great, great grandchild. It would be one of God’s most beautiful spring mornings. The kind you just can’t sleep through. How peaceful.
I would celebrate with whatever family I had left and friends with cake and ice cream. I love it. It will be my go to yarn from now onam using caron soft for the first time on a beautiful afghan. I
I would celebrate with all my family and friends.
I would spoil my dogs by letting them eat birthday cake with me. Then I would distribute my many hand knit hats and scarves to the homeless. Afterwards, I think a nap with the pups is a necessity.
I would have a party with family and friends then have a nap lol . Good Luck to Everyone
love the colors
love the colors
Yarns are very soft
Knowing that at 100 years old I may have many difficulties but, God willing and if in my power, I will still be crafting for family, friends, and for my church Prayer Shawl Ministry; these are a great group of gals who, along with myself, knit and crochet shawls for the infirmed, bereaved, and poor in spirit. Caron yarns are the softest yarn to handle, produce beautiful results and comfort. Yes, hopeful for that birthday, when I lovingly craft with my 100 year old hands… and Caron yarns.
Maybe I’ll celebrate 100 by finally learning how to crochet! Lolol. Barring that, I’ll probably still be knitting for friends and family. And eating chocolate, because a birthday isn’t complete without a big slice of homemade cake.
I would love to think that on my 100th birthday I would be sitting around with family and friends knitting a scarf or hat for someone AND enjoying a slice of fresh coconut cake, like my momma used to make for me.
I would spend the day with my son and other family members and buy supplies for a special project to celebrate such a wonderful day!
Eating birthday cake with family and friends, then working on my latest knitted prayer shawl. Love Simply Soft yarn.
I would celebrate my 100 birthday with a gathering of my family members to rejoice and give thanks to God for letting me still be there with them.
I would celebrate by either having a hot air balloon ride, or helicopter ride, wrapped in a brightly coloured handmade blanket
I would spend my 100th birthday full of music, love and laughter! Surrounded by friends and family, and hopefully I still got it in me to dance!
With my family and crocheting for them what they would like or need
I see myself in my warm comfy home, in my comfy chair, rocking a great grandchild in my arms, with a huge smile on my face, and with many generations of offspring around me. They`d come take the baby while putting a frozen margarita in my hand and say, “Nana, dinner is almost done, and then we`ll have cake!” And if God willing, not even arthritis would keep me from picking up my knitting after setting my drink on an end table, and knit while I waited. That`d be a good birthday…:-)
My 100th birthday? At almost 59 that seems a long way away yet, but time does pass so quickly!
I would hope to be with family and close friends. Dinner together perhaps or at least an afternoon get together. A day filled with remembering all the wonderful and some not so wonderful memories of the past. A day of joy and thankfulness to my Lord!!!
For my 100th birthday, I’d enjoy long walks to the bathroom, enjoying deep breaths, cake gruel, and making something with Simply Soft in a repeat pattern so that I couldn’t lose my place.
Running out of yarn!
I would celebrate with my family. They make my life worthwhile.
I always tell this joke: “I really chose my parents well!” – then explain that my mother lived to the age of 104 (living by herself until 102, and even insisting on mowing her own yard until she was 101!) – and my father was 96 when he passed away from cancer. So, I think I have a pretty realistic shot at 100 – and more. My ‘dream’ birthday party would be to have a combination Texas BBQ/Cajun crawfish boil – with lots of relatives and friends – good music – and a lot of laughter.
I would celebrate it with my family and enjoying the time!
Ooops! I forgot to say that I’d enjoy the BBQ/crawfish boil party celebration – AS LONG AS SOMEONE ELSE WAS DOING THE COOKING AND CLEANUP! ;D
AS A LAS VEGAS SCARF,WHICH WE KNIT,CHANGING TO DIFFERENT YARNS,SO IS THIS SCARF CHANGING COLORS TO FIT YOUR MOOD,I LOVE THEM BOTH,I CROCHET AND LEARNING TO KNIT SO I LOVE THE PATTERNS.
On my 100th birthday I’d love to he wearing a bright sunny mood scarf with my ‘purple hat’. I’d be surrounded by friends and family wearing all the hats, sweaters, etc, I’ve made for them over the years. We’d be celebrating at my assisted living home that’s filled with crocheted flowers, storage bowls, hangers, and other lovlies I’ve made. After a fav seafood dinner and a dessert, we’d head to the bingo hall for a quick round before heading back to my room for a quick crochet and praises to God for my bountiful life!
If I am still in my faculties at age 100, I would first thank God for his mercies toward me. Then I would celebrate the day with my family and friends. At the end of this day, I would relax with some music, my Bible or a good book and my knitting.
N.B. I’m not American or Canadian but just wanted to respond.
For my 100th birthday, I will eat cake with ice cream and thank our Lord for my blessed life. I pray that I will still be able to crochet toys for the orphan children of Guatemala.
On my 100th Birthday I hope to be celebrating in Heaven with my Lord and all the Saints.
i will celebrate my 100th birthday with my husband. we will have a blast together, he will be 102.
I just hope I can still do the things I enjoy, including crochet, when I am 100.
I hope that on my 100tn birthday I will still be able to knit. I would spend a quiet day with family and do some knitting.
Thanks you and I hope every one out there have a wonderful day.
Priscilla
I will celebrate my 100th birthday with cake, ice cream, family, and friends.
I plan to celebrate with my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren just as my mother did!
Oh, if I live to be 100, I’ll celebrate with my hubby (if he is with me, too), our kids, grandkids and great grandkids at a nice Chinese buffet restaurant.
If the Lord God above allows me reach 100, I would be thanking him for the gracious life he has blessed me with. I would then get my knitting out and try to create an afghan showing God how thankful for all the years he has let me live and for all of my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and my great and wonderful Husband. May God Bless each and everyone of us.
I would celebrate my 100th birthday praising God for the healthy blessed life I had lived and thank Him for being with me through all the good times and the bad times. I would also thank Him for letting me enjoy my years of knitting and giving my creations to others to enjoy as much as I enjoyed making them.
I would celebrate with family and good friends. There would be a lot of music, laughs and good food followed by a big delicious birthday cake.
I would celebrate with my loved ones all around me, feeling blessed and joyful to still be on this earth. I love the idea of a mood scarf, it could be very telling by the end of the month.
If I am lucky enough to make to 100 years of age, I would surely celebrate with my family. Hopefully they will bring me a cake!!
I would celebrate my 100th birthday with my favorite foods and family and friends.
I would celebrate with my family. Providing the good lord lets me live that long. 🙂
Thanking the good Lord for another day, Having my child, grand kids and pets around me. Putting my teeth in and going out to eat. Being Happy that I made it to that age. Thank you for the chance to win. Good Luck to everyone. Lenore
I would celebrate my 100th birthday thanking God I made it to that age. Thru the years I hsve made several items for just about every family member I have. I am the oldest of 12 children, so between sister & brother inlaws, nieces, nephews & grandchildren, thats alot of projects & yarn. I would like everyone who is still fortunate to be alive to bring one of the items I made them & have a family photo taken so my legacy of my family & my crafting would be captured in time forever! I would also hope there would be swiss vanilla almond ice cream to be enjoyed after the photo session.
I would celebrate my 100th birthday by spending it with family, and enjoying my favorite foods and cake!
I would celebrate my 100th Birthday enjoying the beautiful spring day. I would have my brothers and sister in law with me, eating cake and ice cream. Mostly the ice cream! I would be working on some charity knitting.
I would celebrate my 100th birthday by having dinner and a quiet evening in with family and friends, going through old family pictures, and snuggling up in my favourite shawls that I knit with Caron Simply Soft Paints. Then I might settle in for a bit of knitting while we all chatted.
On my 100th birthday, I hope to celebrate with the Lord in Heaven. I am 53 and my health is terrible. I am blessed to still be alive now. God has blessed me!
I would invite my girlfriends for a week long retreat. There would be good food, drinks and lots of giggles. Life is great with friends!
I would like to celebrate my 100th birthday like my paternal grandfather did — with a party including all of his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. There were trick candles on his cake, but he still managed to blow most of them out! (The great-grandchildren helped, after they came back to light a few times)
I will celebrate my 100th birthday with my grandkids who will be my age now! Wow when you think that far ahead it’s an eye opener for sure.
Two words: dance party 😉
Ok, maybe not *quite* that high-energy of an affair, but I would love to have a celebration that brought together the important people in my life. It’s one of those milestones that can really gather far-flung family and friends!
I will celebrate life everyday as though it is my last day everyday, and If I should still be here to celebrate my 100th Birthday I would praise the Lord for all his creations, his gifts and all his lambs. I would celebrate and take joy in anything I could do and anyone I would do it with. I would hope I could still take joy in my hobby of crocheting things for people. This gives me great joy to give.
But my BIRTHDAY WISH is that everybody I have ever made anything for would show up wearing the items to share my big birthday cake with me! I really hope they will.
I would celebrate my 100th birthday surrounded by family and friends. Thank you for the chance to win.
I’d start my day watching the Today Show to see them announce my 100th birthday. In the evening a glass of champagne with family to toast my birthday!
Since my Birthday is on the 4th of July everyone celebrates! I am a beginner but love all the awesome yarn and things that can be made for my grand-daughters.
To be 100, I hope that I’m still crocheting. Having a dinner with family and friends, who could ask for anything more.
I would spend my 100 birthday with my family. I would ask for them to come visit me, and we would have a simple party with cake and presents. I just would want to see my entire family before I die.
I would spend my 100 birthday with my family. I would ask for them to come visit me, and we would have a simple party with cake and presents. I just would want to see my entire family before I die. I would also like to spend the day finishing a large crochet blanket that I would’ve been working on over the years, but leave a spot for each of my granddaughters to add a square, and I would request that It would be donated when finally finished.
If I live to celebrate my 100th birthday, I would first thank the good Lord for letting me live to see my 100 th birthday. After that I would spend some quiet time crocheting and reflecting on my life and what ł want to accomplish in the future if possible. The rest of the day I would spend with my family, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
I would celebrate with whatever decendants and friends I have at the time, with music, cake, and maybe a movie.
Since my hubby and I have 11 children and 7 grandkids so far I’d assume by the time I get to 100 I’d be yelling “leave your sister/brother alone” a whole lot a loving every minute of it!!!! If they still love me, and want to be around me that would be the best way to celebrate.
I hope I will still be crocheting with my husband sitting nearby
I’m imagining generations of my family all coming together, with good food music and celebrating. To see the children who I wrapped in gifts I made for them passing them down to their children and wrapping their own grandchildren in them.
I would celebrate my 100th birthday with my friends and family. I’m sure by the time I’m 100, I’ll have tons of family. 😉
If I make it this far, then I would spend it with family & friends. Hopefully I’ll even know who they are. LOL
I’d celebrate my 100th bday as a zombie, back from the dead, chasing the living and eating brains with my zombie buddies and zombie family. Since it’s a bday celebration, we might make the brains from celebraties and slather the brains with chocolate frosting.
My 100th birthday celebration would be spent with family and friends around a table thanking God for the blessing to live to see this age. I would spend that evening recounting the best and hardest memories, sharing with those around me.
My husband’s grandfather lived to be 99 and still lived at his home. So if I live to be 100 I’d like to be still living at my home with friends and family stopping by to wish me a happy birthday. Also having a hot toddy before I go to bed like Grandpa did.
I would celebrate by having all my family and friends by my side. They are who have made me “ME” and are my greatest accomplishment in life.
I will be crocheting Angel Wings in Heaven by the time I’m 100! LOL!
Oh, to reach 100! I would celebrate it with as many friends and family as possible, take a nap, and then watch the sunset as I love the coors!
I would celebrate with family and friends. I taught my daughters to love crocheting as much as I do. In fact I believe we have a yarn addiction. Anniversaries are all special and should be celebrated with love and sincerity.
Colors are very nice, and a celebration… 100 years… here’s to hoping I win…
I would start the day with a nice pot of tea. I would knit and play piano during the day. Have a nice lunch with my husband. Then have my favorite meal (prepared by someone else) with a lot of my family and spend the rest of the afternoon and evening playing games. A perfect day!
I would celebrate my 100th birthday skydiving with my newly crocheted hat and scarf!
I will be 100 in 30 years. Love Simply soft Caron and will still be making prayer shawls, hats and scarves for charity. My birthday will be celebrated with family, friends and a nice dinner followed by some crocheting and a nap.
I would celebrate my 100th Birthday first by thanking God I lived a long life and hoping my family and friends were alive to be there and celebrate with me! Party time for this old gal!
The first thing I would do on my 100th birthday is thank God I lived to see it! Then I would have a quiet day with family, finished up with a dinner out and ice-cream and cake at home.
This is a cool idea hope it isn’t totally blue. Lol
First by thanking GOD for letting me be alive to enjoy life. I would then thank my family and tell them all how much I love them. Then I would do what I have done daily -crochet. Not only can I make myself happy with my crochet but the people I give my crochet are also happy. I found out crochet is not only done for happiness but for health. It also helps my hands moving , as I have RA. I have crocheted for 42 years.
I would (WILL) go sky diving.
I would love to celebrate my 100th birthday with a basket full of Caron Simply Soft yarn and either a crochet hook or a pair of knitting needles and making gifts for all of my family and friends. Happy birthday Caron!
I would spend my 100th birthday with family and friends in the mountains!
If I am fortunate enough to still be alive to have the opportunity to celebrate a wonderful 100th Birthday, this is what I would do on that very special day:
If I can still THINK…I would prayerfully thank my mother and father for giving me life and love!
If I can still WALK..I would get out of the darn rocking chair to root on those who are still running the
race!
If I can still TALK…I would tell those family and friends that are still alive, how much they continue to
be loved by me!
If I can still EAT… I would have my favorite cake, ice cream and candy in unlimited quantities!
If I can still use my HANDS….I would continue knitting blankets for those who need them so they
know that they are not forgotten and still remain ‘warmly loved’ by someone in this world!
Humbly submitted,
Candy
I would be celebrating my 100th birthday by having my friends over for our bi monthly Bitch and Stitch, where everyone brings a dish to share and we have lunch and then spend the afternoon doing crafts, gabbing and enjoying each other’s company!
I would celebrate my 100th birthday by giving gifts to all friends and family of items that I have knitted and crochet as a keep sake for them to hand down to their family. Keep the gift of giving going.
I would celebrate with my family. At 100 I would be happy to gave been blessed with another year with them.
On my 100th birthday I’ll be drinking champagne and recruiting handsome young men to help me blow out the candles on my cake.
And I’ll be toasting Heather Martin, remembering her big heart, her thoughtfulness and her courage. If by some chance I win, please give the prize to her. Be strong, Heather!
I would love to celebrate with family and friends! What a great day!
I hope I would celebrate my 100th birthday with my family and my mind!
Enjoying my family of course. After they all leave, I’ll need to relax by knitting or crocheting something most likely for one of them or as I do now for local budget challenged families.
Happy 100th. I love the idea of a mood scarf. The photo does, however remind me of a mini version of Tom Baker’s original Doctor Who fan made scarf. I hope you guys have many more years.
On my 100 th birthday I would love to have a dinner with my friends that are still here and my family.
I will spend my 100th birthday fishing, hoping to catch a nice, big salmon. Then have a bbq (with the salmon as the guest of honor……) with friends and family. After that, a nice relaxing evening crocheting.
On my 100th birthday, I will definitely spend some time reflecting on the previous 100 years, celebrate with my family, and engage in whatever activity has kept me so young and alive at 100 years old — crochet!
Ideally I would be spending my 100th birthday nestled in my favorite afghan, warm and cozy in front of the fireplace in my beautiful cabin in the woods. Since my birthday is in December, snow would fall around the cabin and my family and friends would be forced to spend the night due to the rising snow around us. We’d then spend the night all gathered around the fire telling stories and reliving the memories wed’d gathered over the years.
Happy birthday Caron Yarns! Hope I see the same landmark myself one day!
I would celebrate my 100th birthday with my immediate family. I would tell each person the most special memory I had of them and how glad I was to be with them for so many years.
Remembering 100 years of carin’ of course!
knit something cozy!!! Congrats!!
I would celebrate with people that I love
I plan on spending my 100th birthday with my kids, grandkids, and great-grandchildren. There will be a big celebration with music, dancing, food, and laughter. Hopefully, one of my presents will be yarn and crafting items as that is one of my passions.

On my 100th birthday, I hope to celebrate by enjoying being outside on a warm sunny day (my Birthday is in September) with my love. Then dinner & drinks with everyone I know and snuggling with my sweetie the rest of the night.
i will be sitting in my rocking chair with my great grand children with the blanket they have crochet or they did knit for me in front of a fireplace makeing new blankets for them to give to there parents and children.
I would celebrate my 100th birthday by completing a crochet gift for each of my loved ones to always have a piece of my love for them to keep just like my Grandmas did for me. We would have a wonderful life party and I would surprise each of them with his or her gift tagged “For you to give me a smile to keep my heart full”.
I would celebrate with family & friend by sharing with all of them all the beautiful colored shawls, blankets, etc that I had crocheted/knitted with the beautiful Caron yarn over all those years.
I don’t celebrate birthdays, but at 100 years of age, I’d be celebrating life every day up to then and hopefully beyond. Our Creator promises everlasting life, so I want to keep on living forever and keep spending time with family and friends, spending time talking about the creator, and spending time knitting, sewing, and cooking (among other things). Will Caron still be around, making their soft yarn? I hope someone is.
My hundredth birthday starts with my wonderful husband, Bamn, waking me up with a kiss and breakfast in bed; black coffee, bacon, and oatmeal with peaches. Then he will drive me to my daughters house where i will chill with my family. After a day full of stories and music and beating everyone at scrabble and monopoly we will fire up the grill and start the bonfire. Cake and ice cream for the youngins. Dirty martinis for us old people. Once back at home i will make love to my husband then peacefully die in my sleep happy and fulfilled.
A century is so important, I would celebrate with my family, dress up as if meeting the president and by eating all the chocolate I want.
I would celebrate with family and whatever friends were left by just being together. Then take a nap and after that take out my hooks and yarn and crochet something random.
I would be happy to make it to 100 the way I would celebrate would be sharing it with my better half any our baby girl Chloe she’s our chihuahua
If I live to be 100, I’m going to celebrate my birthday with a huge party. Maybe I’ll go clubbing with my future grandkids.
For my 100th birthday, I would dine with my family at Cracker Barrel. Then I would invite them to my home for fellowship and laughter. I would also teach my nieces how to do a couple of the more advanced crochet stitches.
I would have a party with all my family and friends.
If I were lucky enough to live to be 100 I would want to spend my birthday with my loved ones eating good food, celebrating life and just generally having a good time.
I would celebrate with all of my loved ones and be thankful that God gave me an opportunity to see the world change during my life.
I would have a gathering with friends (if there were any left LOL) and family, with lots of cake and custard or good ice cream.
I would be so amazed that I would have made it to 100, since women in my family do not live that long.
I would cuddle up in an afghan since my birthday is in March and hopefully be able to see my family. I would eat a big piece of birthday cake and would not care that I am diabetic and what difference would it make. I would have fun and enjoy the company and the day.
I first would, thank God for blessing me with the life I had & for me being able to reach my 100Th
Birthday & have a party with my family & friends if their are any still around.
I would throw a huge party for 100 people I love! Or maybe more like 100 cats…
I would have a big birthday party with all my friends and family.
Totally awesome!!!!
As a newly disabled mother, I would love to live to be 100. I taught myself to crochet months ago and it has been my lifesaver. Literally. I would just want to be surrounded by my daughters and grandchildren all wearing creations I have crocheted for them. And a huge strawberry cake that would match my beautiful pink scarf I just made with my soft Caron yarn.
For my 100th birthday, I would use all my years experience, and crochet a new style blanket for donation. As gifts from my family, I would ask for more yarn and maybe get everyone to go to a crochet/yarn retreat together.
I would spend my 100th Birthday with my family and friends. Thanking God I made it that far. I’d really celebrate Cinco De Mayo!! I’d finish the evening with my hubby by my side while I crocheted a new scarf for one of my grandbabies or even great grandbabies.
On my 100th birthday, I’d hope to do exactly what I do every birthday: A lovely meal and visit with family and friends and then an evening of television and working on my latest crochet project. (My yarn of choice, of course, would be Caron Simply Soft!)
with cake, wine, friends and a sporting a fantastic pair of boot toppers I made!
I would celebrate my 100th birthday with my friends and family. We would have a big potluck dinner and end the day wrapped up in my most recent crochet project, usually an Afghan or a shawl.
I would celebrate my hundredth birthday with family and a special manicure and pedicure. That would be followed with lunch and crafting with granddaughters.
Creating a legacy piece of beaded crochet to celebrate my granddaughter’s 48th birthday.
I will spend my 100th birthday with my family, at the beach searching out new seashells during the day, and crocheting during the evening.
Surrounded by my family. I’m certain I’ll be wearing a lovely shawl (made with Caron Simply Soft of course) and may even have a lap blanket. I am hoping my grandsons will be as great a cook as their dad and will prepare the meal, and that all six of my brothers and my sister will be there to join the celebration.
For my 100th birthday I would have friends and family get together to show off my latest crocheting creations. I would give away some of them to charities and to those who come to celebrate with me. I do love to crochet for babies the most. There is a need for baby things for the premies and for those that are without homes or need to be adopted.
I would celebrate my 100th birthday buy having family & friends sitting around in my living room, talking & laughing at old times and everything and anything we can think of to talk about. LOVE showing all around.
I will celebrate my 100th birthday with my family and friends, teaching one or more of the grandchildren how to hold the crochet hook or how to retrieve that dropped stitch, with one of my project bags at my feet.
I would celebrate my 100th with the grace of God and what ever life has given me.
When I reach 100, I would want to celebrate with the people that love. I enjoy crocheting and have for 55 years. Happy birthday.
I would live on my 100th birthday like it was my last day on Earth, and also like it was the first day of the year. I would eat black-eye peas, if my body let me. I would enjoy time with friends and family, while also enjoying solitude to reflect on how the world and I have changed over the years. I would continue to share knowledge and learn something new. I would also either finish the project or start a new one for giving to others, be it nursing homes, deployed soldiers, or newborn babies. The only thing that would not happen is my cooking!!!!
I have always wanted to do a project like this Is there a guide to what color you use for what mood?
I would celebrate my 100th Birthday by having a Buffet Breakfast with my loved ones. Then take a Limousine ride to all my favorite places that mean something to me. While doing so, I would videotape the places we go and why these places are special to me (to share with loved ones at another time or after I’m gone). I would watch my favorite movie in the Limo on the way home (and maybe take a nap). Then I would have a small get-together with a couple of special friends and reminiscence of days gone by and what I did earlier that day while sharing a great bottle of wine and cupcakes (because a cake with that many candles on it could start a fire). This would be my perfect 100th Birthday Day.
I thought we were supposed to comment on the actual project I didn’t see the question until after I posted
I would spend my 100th birthday with those who love me Maybe go skydiving again 🙂
I would go to the coast of Maine(my home state) and watch the magic of the ocean. Then I would go to a pub and toast myself for getting to 100.
I will have a rocking big party. At every ones place setting will be various crocheted items. My gift to them, for all the joyous years they have given me
I would go to the ocean!
Since my birthday is near Memorial Day, we would have a long weekend to celebrate my 100th birthday! I would like to rent a couple of trolley cars to haul my whole extended family to all the local attractions, ending with the zoo. We would picnic at the park pavilion and walk through the zoo, followed by a trolley ride to the baseball stadium, where I would throw out the first pitch. On Sunday, the whole family would gather at the church, where we would worship God together and praise Him in song for the gift of a long life well lived.
I would like to celebrate my 100th with my husband, our kids and grandkids, maybe even great-grandkids by then 🙂 i would be sitting in my grandmother’s rocking chair hopefully crocheting with my favorite yarn, Caron Simply Soft and reflecting on the lives of my loved ones
The mountains it is for me.
I would love to be at the beach with friends and family! Maybe get in some fishing and clamming too. 🙂
Oooo 100!!! Well we have two beautiful babies now so when I am 100 years old I would love to have our children, and all the future grand/ great grand children at the lake to celebrate with my hubby and I having a big BBQ and cake. Wouldn’t it be great if they all had something made by me too as a reverse gift 😉 living to 100 should give me plenty of time to make it all!!! Lol Happy 100 years Caron!!!
If I make it to celebrate my 100th birthday, I would love to have an open house during the day with wonderful food for my huge family. Then I would have to rest in the evening from the excitement of the day…lol
Wiith family
with friends
With my family, close friends and a nice glass of red wine!
I would celebrate my 100th birthday with my family. We would cook all my favorite foods from recipes I’ve passed down through the generations then, after dinner, take a walk around the neighborhood. Since my birthday is in January, and 100 years is quite the milestone, I think I would celebrate for the whole year. I could spend everyday cooking, crocheting, gardening, and visiting with family and friends.
I imagine by the time I’m 100 everyone I know will already have received crocheted gifts from me so I will be able to donate all my crafts to charity. That has always been a dream of mine.
I hope to continue to love the beautiful and vibrant colors with the soft touch. I am making projects for the charities in my hometown area. It is one of my most favorite yarns.
In a lovely little pub on the Devon coastline (if I haven’t already managed to visit England before then).
I would spend the afternoon with family and a few friends, children to (hopefully) great grandchildren. My grandmother’s knit afgan would be close by, and hopefully, I’d be able to show the younger ones how to crochet, as my great grandmother wanted to do with me.
I would do 2 things: sponsor a Kiddush in shul to thank God and I would go to the beach with as many as my loved ones as possible!
I would celebrate my 100th birthday with family and friends. Have a great lunch or dinner and eat lots of cake!
I would celebrate surrounded by family, friends and great food!
I would celebrate my 100th birthday in my church praising God for blessing me with 100 years to spend with family and friends!!
I would hope to be healthy and able to be surrounded by family to celebrate. Crocheting that day would be a plus!
I will spend my 100th birthday with family and friends. Lots of good food, good music and dancing are a must!
Easy!! Find someone to take me for a ride on a Harley!! Then home to sit in my chair for a nap and dreams of the ride.
Happy Birthday, Caron! Love your yarns and the vibrant colors!
I would have my favorite cheesecake and have a party!l
To celebrate my special day I would want to give to others in some way. At that age, I think, if I am still able, that I would prefer to make things for those in need – or to sell the things that I make if the person or family has a monetary need. I would also want it to be done anonymously.
Thank God, spending time together with people I care about and crochet if it is still possible.
I would actually celebrate my birthday. I quit celebrating mine when my own patents and children forget it year after year.
I hope to spend my 100 th year of life with my husband Ralph and all my family, extended family and friends and crocheting in my recliner with my feet propped up.
Celebrating with family and friends and making a plan for my 101st birthday party!
Should I be so fortunate as to reach 100, I would do what I could to thank the people who were there to care for me
For my 100th birthday I would celebrate it underneath my handmade crocheted blanket surrounded by my family and friends.
I would celebrate my 100th bday by throwing a huge party with very close friends, family … Kids, grand kids , great grandkids etc…i would ask them to bring one of their favorite crochet item i made them and i would take a picture with them with that item weather its a doll , clothing ,shawls etc… I have made many things along the years for children , babies, family and friends that that picture would be a beautiful reminder that once i move on with my life in spirit they will be left with something special i made out of love , to remind them of me .
On my Happy Hundredth birthday I’d want to just spend time with my loved ones, have a spa day makeover, take plenty of photos with my loves and enjoy my life.
With gratitude that God allowed me to live long enough to straighten out my life and to help my family with their needs . . .
A mood scarf is a wonderful idea.
If I can still see, I will blow out the candles on my chocolate cake with coconut frosting then finish off preemie hats for the children’s hospital, if not, I’ll let someone else blow out the candles, still eat the cake and work on a simple, large hook afghan…
Pizza, as long as I have the teeth to eat it! Be grateful for the family I’ve been blessed with
I would have a nice dinner with my family
I would celebrate with friends and family. Seeing as how my birthday is the weekend of Thanksgiving it might turn into a whole weekend party.

I would enjoy by spending time with grand babies and maybe great grand babies teaching them to crochet.
With friends
I’d celebrate by playing my beautiful black grand piano draped with a crocheted white lace runner.
I will continue knitting and crocheting forever and too feeble to handle the necessary hooka and needles.
I will celebrate by snuggling up to the pillows and animals I have crocheted and celebrate not only 100 years of Caron yarn but 80 years of my dad’s life and the last eagle animal I made for him for Christmas.
I’d share it with my family and fond memories
I would be sitting in a comfortable chair, surrounded by my kitties, family & friends. A big, decorated chocolate cake would be in the center of the table with fancy plates around for serving. The room would be decorated with balloons & flowers.
I will spend my 100th birthday grateful for the family, friends, and gifts I’ve been able to receive and return.
On my hundredth birthday I hope to be cuddled up with my favorite blanket on a cruise ship watching the sunset
Hanging out with my family, playing with pets, eating as much chocolate cake as humanly possible.
For my 100th birthday I’d wear a lacey crocheted shawl that my grand niece made and put a very bright candle on a flourless chocolate cake!!!
I would take a walk and enjoy nature, come inside and knit, spend time with my friends/family.
I’d celebrate it with my 3 closest friends at a Starbucks where we all could talk and enjoy a beverage and crochet, etc… It would be great as long as my love ones would still be with me and I could still crochet.
First I would thank my Lord for allowing me to reach such a memorable age. May I congratulate Caron for this wonderful achievement. By the time I am 100 certainly my 3 children and 7 grandchildren will have certainly multiplied to a really large family but I would like to be invited to one of their homes for my July celebration with grilled burgers and hot dogs, baked beans, chips and dip, cold iced tea and of course a good homemade cheesecake. Then just sit outside in a swing and watch the stars come out and all the little ones trying to catch lightning bugs and just share all the wonderful memories we will all have.
I would celebrate my 100th birthday with all my remaining family and friends sitting around me, with an afghan I crocheted myself on my lap!
On a lakeside, curled up with my dog and crochet. Listening to the birds and breeze.
Sky diving and then a nap before some yummy cake
I would celebrate by taking my family with me to a circus. I have never been to one and I think that at 100 years old it would be one of the highlights of my life.
Of course I would want family and friends to celebrate with! One of those super fancy cakes thats super moist and chocolate! The decor on the cake would be an icing scarf probably draped around a Minion. And I would love a PowerPoint presentation of my life, especially things I did with my kids. They are my life. Oh, and everyone should wear or bring something I made for them and remind me when I gave it to them
Gosh, I just hope I remember how to have a birthday when I’m 100! And where I put my glasses, and my crocheting! LOL
I would celebrate with my family and friends that would still be around and have the biggest, richest chocolate cake and champagne! Then
I would love to walk along the beach with them and listen to the waves and seagulls!
First I would Thank God for making it to 100 years old then thank everyone ( like you are) for being in that life and loving me . Have a high family and friends southern bar b que with cake. Than settle down to of course my FavoriteCROCHET. It makes my heart happy
Why a formal dinner at the White House of course!
I think I’d celebrate my 100th birthday just being with my friends and family. We would eat and laugh and just enjoy the day and being alive!
On my 100th birthday, I’m going to have the biggest piece of Chocolate Lava Cake, and most important … I finally WON’T FEEL GUILTY ABOUT IT!!!
If I make it to 100 I would like to give my family and friends a party to thank them for being part of my life! And I hope to be crocheting something beautiful if my arthritis will still let me…:)
I think I’d like a quiet day spent with Yarn,my best friend, and maybe some yummy cake and ice cream, with someone singing Happy Birthday. Throw in a buffet lunch at my fav restaurant and I’d be happy
When I turn 100 I would hope to be surrounded by family and friends and do something I’ve never done before and hopefully being asked to teach someone to crochet because they had seen what I created and they want to do the same
I would celebrate by starting the day with a move breakfast, followed by spending some time with family and friends, go to a children’s hospital and give hats that I crocheted as gifts for them, and then after a fun dinner I would finish the evening crocheting.
For my 100th Birthday I would like to be having Pizza Hut pizza at home with my husband and a couple of pets while watching a good movie with a nice little knitting project at my finger tips.
With lots of food family and tons of old pics of me so everyone could see what a good looking young thing I once was lol
I would celebrate with a barbecue with all of my family.
I would love to elebrate my 100 bday with my all childhood friend for their support I became strong and be possitive… But after marraige I became very far from them…. So this is time to celebrate with them…. Tell them how I miss them….
I’d hit the town and rear it up!!! Maybe find me a nice 70 year old to help me celebrate!
Go to Disneyland since it’s right out my door, and do some crocheting.
I would celebrate by gathering all my family for a party and go out dancing and possibly go to an amusement park. I would live it up like it was my last day. I would end the day by crocheting of course.
This yarn is the softest. I love knitting with it. I made a lot of fancy fingerless gloves for my friends and they love them. I made a really nice kimono sweater also and everyone tell me how nice it is. Thank you for making such a nice yarn.
I would celebrate by surrounding myself with family & loved ones, all wearing something fun I made them.
This yarn is the softest and best!
I would celebrate this special 100th birthday with my family and friends! Everyone of them would have to give me a skein of this lovely yarn! After the party I will sit with my friend Elisa who taught me how to crotchet and make all kinds of stuff for my family and friends, specially grandkids!
I would celebrate my 100th birthday with family and friends and lots of cake! 😀
I would celebrate my 100th birthday with family and friends and lots of cake!
I would celebrate with friends from church and hopefully with my kind nurses and doctors!
I’d give my wife a hundred kisses!
100 years old!! My large and boisterous extended family would all be crowded in for a big pot-luck dinner with lots of home-made desserts and pots full of coffee and pitchers of sweet tea. The musicians would pull out their instruments and we would sing…old favorite gospel songs, Bob Dylan, and little kid songs. Some of the tiny great (or great-great) grandchildren would snuggle up close to Grammy She under a crocheted throw (because I would always be cold) and we would watch slide shows and videos that the family members who were not able to come celebrate in person would have sent. We would be thanking God for all of the close calls and the way His hand had protected us through so many years and feeling that life that doesn’t get any better than it is at that moment.
I would love to celebrate my 100th birthday with my family and friends as well as my caregivers. I would celebrated it on the beach, as home is where my heart is and Guam is my forever home. Crocheting on the shore lines while watching my kids enjoy themselves is what I do right now and I would do it on my 100th birthday.
Celebrate by knitting of course!
I would celebrate by making plans for my 101st birthday!
I would spend it with my family.
A big family dinner with everyone.
I’d take a nap
I would celebrate my 100th year birthday with my family. We would have a huge birthday bash and celebrate how they all came about.
in a rocking chair
I would be spending my 100th birthday with all my family and friends who would be admiring my latest creations. I love both knitting and crocheting and my family loves to receive my handmade gifts.
I would sleep late and awake to a family member making me breakfast – pancakes, fresh strawberries and turkey bacon with a cup of green tea. Then I’ll sit back in my arm chair because my yarn, hook and pattern are already in a bag near the chair. Family will take me to a theatre performance (who know what will be out at that time and have a homemade Jamaican dinner. What a great day!
I would spend my 100th birthday celebrating with my family all around me and all admiring each of the crochet items that we all have completed because I was able to start a family tradition by teaching them to crochet!
I think it would be great to celebrate my 100th birthday by trying to knit 100 items to give away to people who need them. If that’s my plan, I think I should start thinking about how I’m going to do this when I’m 100!
I would invite my 11 girlfriends together – and my immediate family … and enjoy an afternoon chatting and knitting. That is what I’d do.
And, there would be cake!
knitting in a rockig chair
still knitting in a rocking chair
with family
sky diving
100 years…..who wants to live that long.
I want to be sitting in a rocking chair, on my front porch, surrounded by my loved ones. I want to be crocheting of course.
