Nice to have a long weekend, though! :) <BR/>Yes, I do score over on the "I" side of the scale. Perhaps that is why you don't often get to hear from me. <BR/>I agree with your comments on the Summer IK - overall a very nice issue. I would really like to spin and knit the Icarus shawl. A few of the other things, too.<BR/>KathyR (from NZ)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149536.post-1148337272997257422006-05-22T18:34:00.000-04:002006-05-22T18:34:00.000-04:00Oh, you and those ankles!

Imagine my delight when I saw something familiar. I know you have an active knitting group over there. As my last day of full time work is Friday - going into private practice social work - I hope to drop in to your group sometime. I, too knit, spin three times a year, hook, bead, jewel, dye, sew, etc. I first came upon blogs through Yarn Harlot - now I'm hooked. However, I wished for more familiar landscape - voila! My earlier post is my first time ever! Though slow by nature, I hope to stay in touch. P.S. I'm an ENFJ - can you tell?! I loved the Greer Garson version of P & P - okay anything black in white in fact. Always love Greer's characters - so does that make me Elizabeth - God only knows that I speak too freely! Will eventually see the 'code' - all the college girls want to see 'Amelie' in another feature film; all us mothers want to see Tom...<BR/>Feel better soon,<BR/>Glenn<BR/>P.S. nothing hurts worse than a sprain - knitting needles fit nicely inside an aircast for an itch!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149536.post-1148324986906907672006-05-22T15:09:00.000-04:002006-05-22T15:09:00.000-04:00Hello, Injured One.

Canada, apparently, is the only country in the world that still celebrates Her Majesty's birthday -- on the Monday closest to May 24th each year. It is a holiday you'd love, full of fireworks and barbeques and laid-back reading on loungers, and gardening, and toasting the Late Great Queen with whatever, and listening to great music, and of course, knitting. May you have a happy one, and be regally treated, as befits your injury!<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/><BR/>Elizabeth Bennet TooMargarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04472013513744969837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149536.post-1148311866296405972006-05-22T11:31:00.000-04:002006-05-22T11:31:00.000-04:00Hello, BessI'm one of your "silent readers" - I lo...Hello, Bess<BR/><BR/>I'm one of your "silent readers" - I look for you every day, but almost never comment. I'm not a blogger myself and I guess I'm "blog shy". And I am the opposite of ENFP - is that ISTJ? Anyway, I think your blog is just lovely - you have a wonderful way of expressing yourself that almost always has me nodding in affirmation.

Only good thing about it is the guilt-free knitting time, huh?<BR/><BR/>Re: comments -- not that I get 100 per day either, but I now get more than I used to, and I think it's because I also read and comment regularly on others' blogs, and not just the "famous" bloggers. But, I'm not sure I'd want 100/day, either, because that usually means more work for me, which I'm not interested in. Many of the 100-comment-per-day blogs seem to be hosted by people who host popular knit-alongs (Lolly's Project Spectrum, for example) or who regularly have contests (Cara's "January One"), and as fun as those might be, I just don't have the time for all that. I'll also never be as cute and witty as Crazy Aunt Purl or the Yarn Harlot, and I'll never have mad knitting, spinning, dyeing or design skillz like many of the more popular bloggers out there, and I'm okay with that, too.<BR/><BR/>I do know that my hit counter started to go way up after I was added to the knitbloggers webring. On peak days I'll get 100 hits, but still only a handful of comments. Again - I don't mind. It's nice that anyone reads it, ya know?<BR/><BR/>It also helps to do like you and post regularly to Knitter's Review forums with the blog in your email signature. I try to do that on the Knitty board, but definitely don't write as frequently as you do on KR.<BR/><BR/>I will always try to "keep it real" by reminding myself of my original purpose for my knitting blog, which is to be an electronic documentation of my knitting projects, which is really just for my benefit. Any readers are pure bonus, in my opinion, but a lovely perk, all the same. I've made some great friends through this form of communication!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182147694501965096noreply@blogger.com
