Retiring

Howdy! Long time no type! I have decided the time has come to retire the Needles and Wool blog. It has been almost five years since I started this blog and I need a change. I want to say thank you to all of you for taking time out of your busy lives to stop by and read my drivel. I appreciate each and every visit and comment over the years. Really, thank you! I have met some amazing people and made some wonderful friends through this blog.

When I started Needles and Wool, knitting was my one and only passion and so it just made sense for my blog to be about knitting too. I have more interests now and want my blog to reflect all of those interests, not just knitting. I don't like nor handle change well and so it took me a long time to make this decision.

So on that note, I am starting over with a new blog, a new name, and even new blogging software. My new blog is called Karen Squared. I hope you all stop by and say hi!

Thank you all again and Happy Knitting!

I'm glad you are not totally retiring from blogging, just making a change.

For a minute I thought you were giving up blogging altogether! I'm glad you're not :)

You had me scared there. being the kind of person who skims the first few lines, I thought you were signing off for good. Glad to hear you're just re-tooling! I'll have to update my bloglines and catch you at your new 'blog home'.
