Home is where the Heart is….

September 5, 2010 in Di's Blog by admin | 3 comments

This summer has been pretty wild really …not windy or wet but definately STORMY.  I can’t believe it is now September, but it is and I am so happy…autumn is coming and I love it!

I’ve really enjoyed writing up my notes over the past months but this summer I experienced how powerful this medium is for causing caos and unpleasantness. My dear friend Annie Modesitt experienced some horrendous bullying on the net, the storm which errupted over the UK Knit camp and the Ravelry group steering clear of Stirling …all really horrid stuff. I must admit it has taken me a few weeks to pluck up courage to continue with this journal but a light went on in my sleepy brain this morning and I realised what was important….

I love knitting and I love each single stitch that I knit….

What else is there to know…knitting shows me how to love..it opens my heart and allows me to share what I learn…that is what this diary is about. Knitting, sharing and finding joy in every stitch. The way to happiness…and when you find happiness you find love…

for all the bullying bloggers … hope you find happiness through your knitting , you will certainly not find it in angry words…..

So here I am at home….with dog, cat, son, garden, studio and lots of knitting to do and to write about..

    Hi Di

    Wise words and home is truly where the heart is!

    It’s been quite a year down in Edinburgh with studying, working, knitting and then the snow and yet more snow but like yourself i’m glad autumn is coming around the cooler air and change in colours always motivates me to knit that little bit faster.

    Hopefully see you soon as I have some time off so am planning a trip to seet he new Bothy.

    Take care, keep smiling and welcoming happiness into your life

    See you soon
    Marilynne

    Lovely to see you post again, Di. I’ve felt defensive about enjoying knitcamp, but I did, and some of the last best things (of the week) were your stall (and keeping coming back to try things and buy more delights) and Annie at the luminary talk (I am currently knitting her wacky helmet with pleasure!). Thanks to you both!

    Good to see knitting heroes of mine supporting each other.
