I love how we obsessed knitters can inspire and encourage each other with our similar passions - the blog is for them!theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11482890518110560385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115356.post-57676602675240515502007-03-05T18:13:00.000-05:002007-03-05T18:13:00.000-05:00Look at all the closet bloggers which are being ex...Look at all the closet bloggers which are being exposed by your post!!

Then a friend reminded me it was part of the perks of a WEB SITE on the INTERNET. Still, I can't help but feel wierd opening myself up to the scrutiny of friends and total strangers. I now feel a burden to fact check my own feelings, as if feelings are always accurate. I am, it is hard to admit, not always right.<BR/><BR/>Glad you have done it--I really enjoy your phographic style....Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17705558268782509452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115356.post-62042680694732470632007-02-19T14:11:00.000-05:002007-02-19T14:11:00.000-05:00I'm not a closet blogger because my husband always...I'm not a closet blogger because my husband always outs me.

Fantastic work indeed!<BR/>And as for blogging, well, I think I'm a closet blogger too! Most of my friends don't knit, so they wouldn't be interested in the knitting parts anyway, and as for the other stuff I write about, I have to say that I feel a lot more content knowing that not everyone around me reads it.

It almost makes me hope for a bit more cold weather so I can wear it...a lot!<BR/><BR/>I feel so lucky to have a glimpse of this knitting world of which I am not a part....I am amazed and inspired all the time. I think you will find the same reaction from those you love and who love you. So, please consider "coming out"! Finding the beauty and joy in everyday things and moments is a gift...especially since that is what most of our lives is comprised. Special occasions come and go, but to enjoy the thrill of strapping on a lovely apron as you go to make cookies or dinner is wonderful. Leslie, thank you for sharing you private world with me, I am honored....and so sorry that I told Betsy!!<BR/><BR/>xo, MichelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115356.post-80743150882489898592007-02-14T16:16:00.000-05:002007-02-14T16:16:00.000-05:00I am not a closet blogger, though I too can see th...I am not a closet blogger, though I too can see the look of consusion on my husband's family(and my family)when I speak of my blog. I can tell they think it is strange & his annoying mother has even said "oh maybe I should go meet my blogger friends for coffee & cupcakes" It was almost snide. I don't care though. I love all my blogger friends & I look forward to the ideas that I get from all of you & I have met some really awesome people who I consider friends. It's kinda neat to know that If I have to travel to Philly, New York or some bizarre corner of the world there is probably somebody who lives their that can tell me where to buy yarn or meet me for a cup of coffee.KeanaLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04257846776619411925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115356.post-54865720241245788892007-02-14T16:13:00.000-05:002007-02-14T16:13:00.000-05:00Oh, I get it all right.

Some of my closest friends (non-knitters) have stumbled onto my blog via my store site, and I am always surprised to hear from them, "Yeah, I saw on your blog....". Somehow it feels OK to connect with people all over that I haven't met face to face (like you!), but who share my obsession, but strange to let my closest friends and family know I'm posting stuff about myself on the internets. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115356.post-80280349235601112792007-02-14T16:08:00.000-05:002007-02-14T16:08:00.000-05:00I definitely started as a closet blogger, but slow...I definitely started as a closet blogger, but slowly (over 2 years later!)

I just "found" your comments you have faithfully been giving on my blog, thank you (for more info, read my post)!<BR/> I too was a closet blogger, when I came out, my boyfriend thought it was very wierd, his father thought it was even wierder..."so you have pictures of what you knit on a website, and you tell people about it?" But Josh has since come around after he too has discovered the world of eco-friendly blogs (his interest)... coming out was a relief, I felt a load lifted :)Sabrina Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674065534217035013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115356.post-5657985669243223862007-02-14T14:41:00.000-05:002007-02-14T14:41:00.000-05:00I was in the closet for a little bit but finally d...I was in the closet for a little bit but finally decided to tell my friends. I figured if my goal is to be a published author I best get used to having people I know read what I write. They have all been very supportive and many have commented on how they are learning more about me.

I haven't told any of my friends, not even my best friend. I'm so embarassed and I totally agree with you - why would my friends want to read about my knitting? I'm glad for knitbloggers like you that get it. I feel that I must confess to my best friend soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
