This is extremely difficult for me to say, and makes me very sad, but after much thought and long debate, I am quitting knitting. I've simply had it with all the swatching, blocking, frogging, frustrations and designing.
As painful as it may be, I am hanging up my needles, giving away all of my considerable stash yarn and calling it quits. That also goes for crochet, spinning and other fiber arts.

I have to say thank you so much to all my friends, readers, fellow knitters, crocheters, spinners and everyone who has given me such encouragement through the years, it really means a lot to me.
AND... I couldn't end this post without also saying that you've just been ...April fooled - gotcha'! They'll have to pry my needles and yarn out of my cold, dead hands before I give up knitting voluntarily, LOL!
I hope you had a good laugh; I'll be back next week with WIP updates and other news.

This was very good prank Robin :-)) You got me :-)))
ReplyDeleteYa right! You think that I would believe you?
ReplyDeleteAnett, thank you so much for your sweet concern, I hope you know that I am playing an 'April Fools' joke on everyone! It is a silly but fun tradition. :)
ReplyDeleteDiana, well now I know there is at least one other person besides myself who gets April Fooled! I always get tricked by everyone else, LOL. :)
ReplyDeleteLidia, you are too sharp, you caught me out, LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteThat was THE most cruel April jock I ever heard!!! Absolutely unbelievable! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteRobin, I would never believe this of you but still it was a relief to learn that it was a joke!
ReplyDeleteHi Robin,
ReplyDeleteEven though I'm a brand new reader I thought 'that just doesn't sound right!' Once I finish some projects I want to knit the Fontana shawl :-)
Well, darn...and here I was hoping to score some of that stash. LOL and just kidding! VERY good post - you had me totally fooled (and sad!), and that doesn't happen easily. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnna, Mette, and Laurie - Thanks for the notes about the post, sorry if I caused anyone any concern!! It's nice to know I fooled at least a few people though... I am so gullible and easily fooled by everyone else, but am hardly ever successful at jokes myself! ;-)
ReplyDeleteSmitiha, I hope I didn't cause any real concern, I finally found an April Fool's day joke that actually fooled a few people! Thanks for reading. :)
