You’re all too kind. Duncan and the sheep and I took a vote and decided we want you to move in.

I came here because of the Harlot. I stay because of the vomit/poop/condom stories

Hey congrats! I enjoyed discovering your site.
I get up to Ottawa fairly often to visit my daughter who attends Carleton. I hail from near London

I did notice that insane number of comments Harlot gets on her blog. Definitely her knitting is amazing…but I’m still baffled by how to attract readers — particularly those that comment. How does she do it?

I don’t doubt it! My traffic spiked (about 5x the hits) that day because of the referrals from your blog.

I found you a little before the Harlot mentioned you. I make a point of following “who I’m reading” links in other knit-blogs and I was delighted to find a local gal who writes so well and about such interesting and relevant topics. I felt a thrill of recognition and pride when you were mentioned on the Harlot’s blog. Well done, you.

Yarn Harlot did point me to your blog but I’m staying because I love reading it (swap box, kindness meters) and I love DUNCAN!!!!

I found you via the Harlot, as well. You had me at the sheep header, and I’m staying for your writing. I subscribed, even though my bloglines passed my capacity to keep up long ago…
I’m a new blogger – also shy and introverted. I’m hoping the blog will help me get over that.
Love your writing, love the street art & the swap box.
Thank you!

I’m new to this ‘blog’ thing (what’s the definition of blog anyway? What does it mean?), and found you through the harlot & only recently started going to her website because of her books which I adore. In fact, I’m not even sure what I’m doing right now. Will this message make it to you? I’m better with knitting than navigating computers & the net (where’s the semi-colon on this thing?), but wanted to put my 2 cents in. Congratulations on the award. Enjoy reading your column very much & I hope you win again next year!

Oh good. Glad you’re glad to have us hear because your blog is just too entertaining to stop reading. :0)
