and because everyone is already nominated and i appear no longer capable of original thought, i will do as donna did, and tell everyone who reads this that you ALL make my day, just by being here. and every blog i read, i read it because it already makes my day a little bit brighter, a little bit easier.
so go on, give yourself one of these!

but in all seriousness, i have had a lot of so-called friends come and go from my life, and i have been sorely disappointed by some in the last year or two, but never by a knit-blogger. is it something about knitting itself that speaks to the kind of person you are? patient, thoughtful, caring, pays attention to detail, thinks the little things count?
i was about to exempt myself from this description because i am always angry or disorganised or impatient, but when it comes to knitting, im not. i think it is what keeps me balanced at the moment, when i cant be like that in other areas of my life. perhaps when the pensky is gone (soon people soon), i can find space for knitting-compassion in the rest of my day.
i hope so!

Why - thank you ma'am - but you're right - I've never been disappointed by a knit blogger either - so there you go! And I'm like you - disorganised and often niggly - but I'm still impatient - there are so many things I want to knit and I never have enough time!
You make a lovely point Kylie about the balance our knitting provides. I've always been a fairly rushed and impatient person but knitting has taught me to slow down and enjoy processes, and to have a focus outside of things that are stressful or difficult. It's good, isn't it?
