A thinking knitting blog

So, I have not been blogging here much for months. Just using the blog as a place to deposit the too many errata in The Clovers pattern (sorry all), and sometimes list knitting projects. Okay. Well I have problems with photos. We do have a digital camera, and sometimes the batteries are not dead, so I take photos. Then they sit in the camera until I remember to ask my husband to uplad them, which sometimes takes days. Eventually I can post photos. And people seem to want photos.

But I'm not going to work to provide them anymore, because it just isn't going to happen. Reality is what it is. I've never been attached to photos in the first place, after all. I'll just get to it when I get to it.

In the meantime, I'll try not to be boring, but I'm going to use this blog as a place to think a bit. Maybe about knitting, maybe about what I'm reading, maybe about the family. I'm just putting this out there to allow myself to come back to the blog. It's been kind of lurking in the back of my mind as something I have to deal with. Either that or delete the thing.

I have worked countless hours over the last several months, and that doesn't look like it's going to change, so I have to do some serious ordering in my family and knitting life.

Okay, recently a terrific thing happened as a result of this blog, which is why I can't just give it up. Someone read my list of Literary Muses over there on the side and had read some of the same authors! I can't say how long I've waited to meet someone besides my brother who had read Eco. I'm just delighted because I can be pretty cynical about the whole "community" metaphor for the Internet, which is after all a network. But it is possible to make human connections via that network. Rare, but possible.
