I can't believe how fast time goes as it was my blogs 2nd birthday last week.

(there is a birthday competition on it if you want to enter)

When I look back at the start of it  it looks so boring, and I really think that it helps me finish stuff.  But I am starting to wonder whether to keep it up. I love the interaction with other knitters but how long do you think a blog should go on before it gets very samey? Is mine getting boring?
I would really appreciate a critique of it!!

I partly blog for myself but also for other people to tell me what they think of my knitting, should I join a real knitting club and not live in a land of virtual reality!!!?

The main thing is whether you enjoy your blog, but judging by the number of comments I'd say others do anyway.  I have to admit I often read it but am ashamed to say I am lazy about commenting, sorry  Embarassed

I love reading your blog too - but you should only keep it up if YOU enjoy it.  I love reading back over mine and seeing what I was doing this time last year etc, what the weather was like, what I was knitting etc, so although I really love getting comments, and am always chuffed when someone takes the time, I also just keep it for me...... but then I'm strange!

I don't have a lot of free time to read other people's blogs unfortunately... and I keep my blog for me. But it's certainly helped me to keep my hand in with technology and suchlike and it is good to be able to see what you were knitting last year as Noo pionted out.

Whether anyone reads my blog is another matter!  Laughing

Auntie Noo, you are right. I love doing my blog and missed it this holiday so posted when I was meant to be away!

I love comments too but don't expect them, if you know what I mean!

Its like another hobby with the knitting! I have learnt so much techno stuff too Debs, its worth it to keep up with the times.
