I’ve been blogging for about five and half years now. To say it has been rewarding beyond my wildest expectations is a vast understatement. I have made friends, learned many, many new things and received far more than I have given. I thank you all, who have come on this journey with me, profoundly and from the bottom of my heart.
However, life and circumstances have become such that blogging isn’t going to be possible any more. I’m on a new medication which has some fairly incapacitating (if not exactly dangerous) side effect which leave me without strength or much in the way of focus. I am still knitting, but only very simple things that I can’t mess up too badly and usually, only a couple of rows/rounds at a time. Also, dad’s condition keeps deteriorating and he needs more help all the time just to get things done - like paying bills and doing laundry. So what energy I do have goes into that.
I’ve gotten many notes inquiring into my well-being over the last month. I will try to respond to them, but I can’t make any promises. Suffice it to say I’m as well as can be expected :)
Thank you all for your concern and for reading along with my little knitting adventures. Further patterns and/or tutorials - if there are any - will be posted on Ravelry (user name Robbyn). I know this isn’t available to all of you for one reason or another and I’m sorry about that but it’s the best I can do.
Onwards :)
No trackbacks yet.
I don’t comment much, but I do enjoy getting your blog in my feed and will miss hearing from you.
Is it okay if I friend you on Ravelry?
With all best wishes.

I am so sorry to hear you are not going to be on here any longer. Though I did not write often I thoroughly enjoyed reading what you wrote. I just wish we lived closer so I could try to help you in some way. Please take care and try to hold on.
My thoughts and prayers will be with you. Hugs. Knit on!
All the best to you and yours! I’ve enjoyed your blog, and thank you for the helpful information. I will watch for you on ravelry.
Take care of yourself :)
Robbyn,

I haven’t commented much lately or blogged myself for that matter, but please know that I have thought of you often and wish you the best.
I’ve loved your blog and patterns, keep knitting and you are in my prayers! Sending smiles your way.

Robbyn,
Thank you so much for the great dye tutorials! However, my crockpot may never forgive you. ;) Keep knitting and keep healthy.

I was thinking about you the other day and wondering how you were.
I have enjoyed your blog and you have inspired me to experiment with my hats. Thanks very much. I’m not on Ravelry so I will miss out on further productions.
Take care of yourself. God bless.
My goodness I am saddened to hear this news. You have been such a good friend to me over the years, and I/we have gone through so much. I can still email you, right? You are very dear to my heart, and I will always think of you when I think of the early childhood days at home where blogs like yours kept me sane.
Love for always, nat xx
