what i learned from knitcroblo week 2010

knitcroblo week taught me a lot about blogging.

it reminded me of my knitting roots, and why i love knitting.

people, patterns and books inspire me to push my limits.

i read a lot of knitting and craft blogs.

i have a long way to go with learning new knitting skills.  i haven't even scratched the surface.

i need to clean up the computer room.  it's not even a computer room anymore.  i should take the time to clean it up and organize my knitting and craft supplies.  that room could be a beautiful craft room/library.

writing about linus was cathartic in remembering my losses, a big step in my HAPL process.

i have too damn much yarn.  it's time to diet.  where have i heard that before?

making stitch markers is just another creative outlet for me.

i really enjoy writing.  it was one of my favorite subjects in school.  too bad i can't parlay my blog into a career a la yarn harlot.

it is really hard to blog every day.  the kiddos keep me busy and some days i just can't be bothered to crack open the laptop and write.  i tried to blog from my ipod but apparently blogger doesn't work that way.

i started this blog to brag about my knitting.  it has since morphed into an online scrapbook of sorts.  not only to i write about my knitting, but my children's milestones, current events.  it's a great place for me to pour my emotions out.  it's scary putting yourself out there where anyone can read what you write.  writing my blog makes me feel bold.  i'm a shy, conservative person by nature.  writing really opens me up.

i think knitting and crocheting blog week was a great success, and i can't wait to do it again next year!
