I have reopened my knitting blog, PurlsandMurmurs. This combination of knitting and sewing just isn't working for me. Somehow I feel like I can't babble on as much as I would like with everything in one place.
Despite the fact that I have just been reading in the new Atlantic Monthly about how the Internet has shortened our attention span so that no one will read more than a couple of paragraphs, I still feel the need to go on an on. I read a lot. I love reading long thoughtful blog posts when other people, who actually write well, post them. I still enjoy throwing out bucket loads full of mindless twaddle. And so I shall. Like my library and my books are an extension of my memory, and external hard drive of sorts, so too are these blogs. And I need them to make some sense of the jumble of my thoughts; they accomplish that best when they are separate.
Personally, I do better with a more expansive forum as well -- call it indulgent, but I just seem to need that space. I'll have to pop over and see what you've been knitting.
