Truth be told, I've about given up becoming a 'Better Knitter', and by the looks of my Blog Stats the same could be said for my Blogging. Oh sure, I have a list of excuses about as long as the last cast on I did for a lace shawl...several years ago. I guess I'll have to call it finished since it's about as likely I'll knit or purl back across those kabillion cast on stitches as my going to Estonia. I should have known from previous projects that called for really, really thin lace weight yarn and really, really, really, tiny needles on a really, really long circular thingy. And, I really, really thought I wanted to be a Lace Knitter!
So much for Vogue Knitting's 25 TIPS FOR FASTER KNITTING.

And so much for Knit Pics gorgeous lace weight yarn intended for a shawl from
Knitted Lace of Estonia!
Hmmmm...I betcha #1 is Post More Often...Really!
No, don't give up on that yarn. And don't give up on that blogging! Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteIf it doesn't sale, I will put it back in my stash and combine it with another yarn for a crochet project. As for giving up blogging...not in the near future. Thanks for the encouragement!
DeleteHi Sue! I think the knitting life is full of "a ha!" moments. I often say to myself, "Self, what on EARTH were you thinking? Really? No more pullovers for your chubby Pooh bod!" and other such things, but I do love knitting and there are happy knitting days and crabby ones. That yarn is lovely! Hasn't blogging changed? I loved it when I started (2009) because it was such an adventure in discovery, but it's still fun - just different.
ReplyDeleteYep, those moments happen often to me when picking up knitting needles. I'm soooo much better with crochet. Yes, blogging has changed so much since we first started. I too still enjoy blogging and bloggers.
DeleteDon't worry about your blog stats, esp. during the summer. Mine have tanked - it seems everyone is taking a break from bloggers to those who read blogs.
ReplyDeleteI've never been a knitter - perhaps because of my lefthandedness.
It's true that summer is a stats tanking time. I don' really pay all that much attention to stats anymore. Like PomPom said...'Blogging has changed so much since we all started'. Left handedness is actually easier for knitting than crocheting. I bet you'd enjoy either one.
Deletestuff goes in waves. You've been a whirlwind with your store. I have no doubt the blog world will stay in your life, and those knitting needles will click again in winter. Too freaking hot now, I think!
ReplyDeleteYes, heat waves are not conducive to yarn crafts of any kind! Wow it's been blistering here in Texas. I agree...can't imagine not being in Blogland even if sporadically!
