So Long, Farewell, auf Wiedersehen… THANK YOU

January 31, 2009 by Lynda

It’s taken me a long time to realize what you have all know for awhile. It seems KnitTogether has run its course. I don’t even know why. I’m still knittng, I still LOVE knitting…. I’m still reading ALL your blogs, even though my commenting has slacked off. Somehow, I’ve become a blog slacker.

So…. It’s goodbye and THANK you, at least for the time being. I’m fine – I’m great. I’m still busy, as usual. I still think of things I want to say to you all from time to time. See… it’s because you are all my REAL friends. Really, I love each of you and thank you so much for spending the last few years with me. I’m SO glad you’re still blogging, because I’d miss you so. And, it means a lot that you have missed me to. So much, that when one of you would comment to see what’s up and where I’ve been… I keep telling myself I need to really make a thoughtful reply and tell you, Thanks, It means a lot…. and so I’d put it off until I had time to “make a thoughtful reply,”…. and hours turn into days, and days into weeks…. and so forth, and I’ve neglected you all.

So, rather than neglecting you – I want to thank you so much, for being my friends, for being my knitting mentors…. I learned to knit from all of you, and I’ve made some of my dearest friends here…and I will always cherish that. AND, most important, I still know where to find you, so I’m not really gone, and you’ll still hear from me. I’m still on Ravelry, so you can see the knitting there… I’m KnitTogether if we haven’t hooked up there, yet.

And, I’m on Facebook. That I can do – think up one-liners about what I’m doing , and I’ve found some of you. and would like to find ALL of you there… so PLEASE email me if you want to Facebook with me, and I’ll tell you where to find me.

I’ll leave you with the last FO for this blog… a multidirectional scarf, Lorna’s Laces Worsted in Motherlode….

This is really hard – you have all been truly knit-together into my heart. And, now I’m feeling mushy and sad that I really just said this is it for the ol’ blog… but reality is, well reality… I’ll be a better commenter and you’ll all still hear from me. You really can’t get rid of me THAT easily!

Love you all ((sniff, sniff)),

Lynda

PS, remember to email me (lvonrader@inbox.com) if you want to keep in touch on Facebook.

PSS, Wendy…. now you don’t have to look at the picture of the recliners any more ;o)

I was wondering where you’d gone, and hoped you were OK. I’m on Facebook as well, though I’m just figuring it out. I found you there, and “friended” you!

hiya Lynda! I’ve been slacking at blogging and commenting too, so I know what you mean. I will miss your blog. Take care and all the best!

Oh, I’m in the same boat. Blogging has lost something for me. But I have yet to come to the (obvious) point of saying goodbye.

I’m in the same blogging hiatus, but haven’t said goodbye for good yet. I’ll miss your blogging, but will be sure to stop by your Ravelry projects from time to time. Hugs, Bea.

Bye! Some things just run their due course. But see you on Rav and FB

I completely understand. And its ok. I’m just happy to hear that your still knitting. Just the thought of someone giving up knitting just breaks my heart! Crazy yes.
Well, at least I’ll see you on facebook!

I’ll miss your posts, but you’re certainly ending on a lovely note.

Thanks for the congrats!! WordPress or Yahoo is being a pain and I didn’t get your comment in my emails to reply to, then I came over here to comment and see that you are giving up the ole’ blog. You will be missed dearly!

I hope I’ve given you some reason to keep reading mine though. LOL! I understand though, life is so complicated and sometimes you have to give up one thing to gain something else. I will make sure you are a friend on Ravelry so I can keep up with all your projects.

I understand how you feel as sometimes I feel the same – trying to find time to blog & read blogs. It has been great reading your blog & I wish you all the best & happy knitting.

Wishing you the best, and hoping that we can keep up on Ravelry! Enjoy the knitting – the new scarf is lovely!

Nice color combo. That makes the different directions come out nicely.

I’ll see you on facebook too..and in my comments box. I have loved getting to know you, Lynda.
I saw Wendy’s tease and was thinking this would be the case when I stopped by this morning.

Well, as I’m sure you can tell from my tardy comment, I’m having the same difficulty, both with blogging and reading blogs! I’m not quite ready to throw in the towel yet, and have been making more of an effort to blog lately. I will go miss reading your blog, but will go friend you on Rav & Facebook

Take care, and happy knitting!

Knit happy … I’m heading back to work in a week and will have even less time myself to blog … or even knit. Will always be busy & knit whenever I can. Good luck and best wishes from the East Coast!
