Things have changed

I don't know who will ever read this, but in October 2019 my husband passed away suddenly without any warning (cardiac arrest of a completely healthy heart) and I am now a 48 year old widow. I haven't felt much like knitting or spinning or blogging since then, though what I have done I am still posting on ravelry.

I may decide to end this blog, I'm giving myself a year to think about it. It is an amazing record of everything I have ever knit since the very first day when I taught myself, on January 22, 2003, which is a remarkable thing. I've been blogging longer that the Yarn Harlot! Kind of shocking.

That's it for now. Thanks to all of you who have stopped in from time to time, and to those of you who are reading this now.

Over and out.

Christine

So sorry to hear of your terrible loss. Your husband was much too young to die. I hope you are getting your life unscrambled since it was turned upside down. I also hope you will resume your wonderful posts.

I’ve always enjoyed reading your blog. My sympathies on the loss of your husband. I do enjoy your Instagram posts also, they always bring me a smile. That being said, giving yourself time to think about what you’d like to do with this space is wise. I just wanted you to know that I appreciated your blog and read it regularly.

I wish you and your family the best during this challenging time.

Hello Christine, experimenting natural dyes i came across your blog. I‘m very sorry about your husband, i also cannot imagine how hard this is. I do wish you strength to go through this loss. And i hope you’re doing well during this awful pandemic. That’s right giving yourself some time to organize your thoughts and feelings, but carrying on doing the beautiful work you do, could help you! Wish you all the best!!!❤️ Meg
