I am definitely a reply via e-mail person – but I only get a few comments and I have no great drive to increase it.

If something relevant to more people comes up in the comments I usually include it in a future post (because I don’t go back and check old posts again so don’t expect others to) and update the one (just in case anyone does go back ).

Occasionally something in the comments spins into a whole new post. But I wouldn’t subscribe to comments – I read way too many blogs as it is without feeling driven to go back to the comments again and again.

Interesting idea

You know, you don’t have to sell US on the idea that knitting is therapeutic. WE understand, that’s why we blog about knitting (and other things, too). Not only that, but this is a group that will think BETTER of you for being a knitter, because that makes you one of “us,” whether you blog about it or not. Believe me, we think you a better man for it (grin).

And, I can’t remember the last time I sat down in front of the television without knitting–or a book–in my hands! It’s handy to carry around for standing in bank lines or sitting in waiting rooms, too . . . although that IS easier if you carry a purse which, of course, most men don’t.
