Knitters Comment!

September 7th, 2009 by BJB

After reading this post Knitters Never Comment! on one of my favourite blogs Men with Pens, I consider myself extremely lucky to have as many comments on this blog as I do. Thanks so much to everyone who has left a comment after reading one of my posts.

I hope I’ve been conscientious in responding to your comments and vow to be even more responsive, and therefore helpful, in the future.

Knitting and spinning forums are, by definition, the essence of   ‘communities’. I read knitting and spinning blogs and check into Ravelry regularly, to get information, find patterns, ask questions and, most fun of all, see what other fiber enthusiasts are up to!

It’s through these shared ideas and discussions that my own imagination is inspired for future projects and designs. Sharing is what art is all about.

Our beautiful hand knit scarves and garments, and colourful handspun yarns,were not meant to languish in our closets or stash- they’re meant to be shared…shown off…discussed.

So please, feel free to use the comment section of this blog to ask questions and share ideas or opinions, perhaps get some discussions going.  For my part I promise to be a ‘conscientious responder”!         Barb

    Hi Barb – thanks for your notes about knitter’s comments – I wrote a little about it on my blog too: http://ballatrina.blogspot.com/2009/11/lets-talk-christmas-presents.html
    Its would be nice to be able to share projects and get a little discussion going about it too!
    Speaking of which, I really love the grey slouchy hat you made, which pattern did you use?
    Trina :)

    Thanks. The grey slouchy hat is a creation of my own, loosely based on Elizabeth Zimmerman’s hat instructions in Knitting Workshop. I hope to make it available for free download on my site soon.
    That’s exactly the kind of discussions I ‘d like to get going too. Take care, Barb
