Debs...yours is a lovely little blog. I bob in most peeps blogs (I don't always comment if i'm in read everyones mode Wink

). Personally my blog like most folks is just a journal of things i've done/made. And when I need a kick up the arse I use mine to spur me on (remember mams cardy? that wouldn't have been finished with your online support via my blog) I'm no yarnharlot but nevermind eh? Laughing

I like your blog very much Lin, and am always very envious of your fabulous photos and eye for colour.

I like different blogs for different reasons. Noo's blog is one of my haunts, I love reading about Spot and the chickens. I love Gilraen's too, Friday wouldn't be Friday without a bit of yarn pron!

Debs - I visit your blog too, and yours Linz. And yours too Mrs Pictish but it hasn't been updated for a while.............................

I like my blog too and love looking back like Noo. I have sometimes thought about not bothering with it, and indeed often wonder who in their right mind would want to read it, but it's my little space and I like it! I'm also a little less of a techno phobe than I was as a result of blogging. I just wish I could work out how to know when people's blogs udated themselves.

edited to add have discovered reading this thread that Modelwidow has a blog - sometimes I think I go around with my eyes closed Rolling Eyes

Lovely holiday photos Very Happy

I think that a blog is like a diary... you could make it private you know, and just keep it for yourself as a record of your creative journey.

There is a web based thing called Blurb which will print your blog and send you a properly bound version. I think this is very cool because it keeps all the comments, and turns it into something which could be passed on to the next generation. So much of our recording is virtual now, and this is a way of adding to out textile and social heritage.
It's not cheap mind you, but I do think it's really important to preserve what we have or there will be no "ordinary" people's history in the future.

However, I love your blog and I always read it, if that helps.

I have got very behind with blog reading in recent months, I am trying to keep up! I haven't posted to mine since May, but I've not had any FOs or nearing FOs as I wasn't doing as much knitting for a while. Too tired after work, but am getting back in the swing now. Hoping to update it in the next week or so.

I do read all the blogs mentioned so far, I think! Apologies for my lack of commenting recently, I always try to comment when reading but was just a bit overwhelmed.

I have all your blogs on my bloglines which is so handy to see who has updated ... except for n's, I go in via the shop which is an excuse for a little look at all the yarn!!

I don't think that it would be feasable to comment all the time on blogs (especially since I read over 150!!!!) but its funny how you kind of see the people as people you "know" a little.

Noo, how are your silkies, haven't seen them for a while?

This has got me thinking actually.
I love the blurb idea but it won't work with my old blog, the platform isn't supported, as they say.

But I can import the blog a posting at a time into Pages, the apple WP program, and from there I can order a Book version from apple, so I think I may ask for that for my birthday/Christmas.

(Thank you for going through the shop... I love it when the yarns and fibres get a little stroking and fondling!)
