1) People from blogland keep on disappearing - or is it just that they have moved away to other blog sites? Do any of you know what happened to:
The Woolywarbler
Naive Knitting Blog
I always find it worrying when people disappear like that without leaving a trace. It's different from anyone taking a break from blogging (and I have certainly done the same once in a while) - in that case it's temporary and it's often announced on the actual blog, and most important of all, it doesn't make the whole blog disappear! It's disconcerting when that happens. It makes me realise that, no matter how close we feel to other people in this little community, we know very little of each other.
2) On an entirely more happy note - I have been sewing a bit again (nothing to show for yet, as they were all practice projects and little experiments) and it made me wonder if anyone would be interested in a One-Yard-Fabric-Swap? It could be a kind of secret pal swap, only with fabrics, which is not to say that other things can't be included. What do you think?
No hurry if you need to think about it, but if you are generally interested, leave a comment or send me an email at merkuria_lyn@yahoo.co.uk. I may check out Swap-Bot to post it or I may keep it on this blog if any of you are interested...
There you are! Good to hear from you, Tracy and to know that you are OK. I guess I was gone from blogland for quite some time (it was close to 4 months I think), so I missed your leaving post. I can only add my regret to the undoubtedly many other comments - it's sad to loose you as a fellow knit blogger, but I understand your reasons. It's sometimes difficult not to get sucked in and spend far too much time on the internet!
ReplyDeleteTake care,

PS: Sorry I can't respond via email but I lost all my email addresses in a recent harddrive crash!
Tracy answered the question herself! Not sure about Naive knitter...
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of the fabric swap, and think my mother (who lives in Holland) would too... a patchwork maker. So count us in!
Iris...that would be a blast, the One Yard Fabric swap. I'll check back to see where it's going. Stay cool, keep your feet up and relax...time will come soon enough when taking a nap is nearly impossible!
ReplyDeleteI'd be interested in hearing more about the swap. How can you avoid ending up with some nasty nylon?! I wondered about woolly warbler too. I guess people's priorities change.
ReplyDeleteAha, so that's what happened to Woolly Warbler. I'd been wondering too!
ReplyDeleteI love your fabric swap idea! I will join in if you set it up. :)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, it is a bit scary when blogger disappear without a trace.
ReplyDeleteoh it is odd when blogs diasppear!

I too have been wondering about where Woolywarbler was? Glad to see you are fine and well Tracy.
