You and Zoom are more experienced at this than I and I appreciate your taking the time to comment. i see you just got back from Camp and that you were in MI. Last summer Meg told me I could come and teach there any time . . . and I always have a family reunion in MI on the 4th that I usually go to, so I just may take her up on that. I was in Mackinaw City on July 7th (the day after you were there) to visit <a href="http://www.cynthiasyarn.citymax.com/page/page/4076765.htm" rel="nofollow">Cynthia's Fine Yarn and Gifts</a> which is a charming and fascinating shop. I'm doing <a href="http://www.cynthiasyarn.citymax.com/knittingretreatinmackinaw.html" rel="nofollow">her fall retreat in October</a> and wanted to meet her beforehand since I was in MI to be with family anyway. I'm excited about it because I think it's going to be so much fun and valuable to knitters. Thank you for your perspective, Nancy.

I was in Mackinaw City on July 7th (the day after you were there) to visit Cynthia’s Fine Yarn and Gifts which is a charming and fascinating shop. I’m doing her fall retreat in October and wanted to meet her beforehand since I was in MI to be with family anyway. I’m excited about it because I think it’s going to be so much fun and valuable to knitters.

A character in its own story, if you will. It certainly can bring you friends and influence people ;-) (or the opposite!) If you give the blog time, it will speak of its needs.

It's one of my absolute favorites (and there are very few of those). Maybe I need to forget the "purpose" and just write. Which I really enjoy. But I'm also afraid of revealing too much that is too personal. Why? Dunno. Zoom . . . your blog is consistently interesting and worthy of reading.

My own experience is that it takes time for a blog to hit its stride. The more regularly you blog, the sooner it will happen. Also, you don't really get to decide what your blog will be - it will shape itself over time, and you will begin to see the patterns in the body of work that merges over time. Does that make sense?
