Blogs and Blogging

So, an unexpected part of the learning curve has become getting more familiar with Blogger.  I suspect this will also be an ongoing learning experience so please bear with us.

We've decided that we will leave this blog as public - we would never have met Lynn from Wisconsin if we were closed/private!  That means that I don't need to send anyone "invites" to the blog (the reason for asking about which email you preferred), and as long as you are subscribed you will (well, should) receive notifications when new entries are posted.  As much as possible we'd like to shift the conversation here - which means either Lynne or myself will make a blog entry, and everyone participating in the Knit-a-Long is really encouraged to comment so we can all help each other learn.

Given the geographic and time constraints of our machine knitting group(s) here and across the Maritimes and all the way to Wisconsin, the internet is a such a help to bring us all together.  If you are not familiar with the wealth of information available through other machine knitter blogs, YouTube channels, Ravelry, etc., then I really encourage you to do some exploring.  And not just machine knitting of course, but hand knitting, crochet, sewing, quilting - the list goes on!

Here are just a few links to blogs that I enjoy, just to get you started:
