An obligatory bit of Knitting with bespoke stitch markersI'm afraid I'm not the best with Blogger Etiquette. Several times I've been sent memes or other bits of Blog socialisation that I've neglected to answer and then felt bad about. The trouble is after reading all the feeds I have on my Blogline account and then (sometimes) commenting on them or checking out the interesting links they suggest, I find I'm all blogged out.
My Blog's upkeep is erratic to say the least. If I'm snowed under with work or life then I don't feel up to documenting my day-to-day trials of life. Despite this, while I'm travelling (or in the shower) I often find myself writing posts in my head about things I've observed or experienced.
Happyspider has written an interesting post about blogging and the Knitting 'Verse which does encapsulate my feelings about these interconnected activities. There seems to be a bit of a global "comment drought" about at present so I'm not too upset if my posts are not acknowledged. I've even stopped reading the Sitemeter statistics because I couldn't see the point in it.
Notwithstanding all these blog musings Lynne has nominated me for this Award and I feel very honoured, thank you Lynne.In keeping with the spirit of the award these are the conditions I must fulfil to truly earn the Blue Ribbon.

Witty Knitter
What I do, what I think and what I knit.
One of the first blogs I started reading from a very internets savvy, witty, knitter.
Birdchick Blog
To show the world that you can be a birder without being a geek.
I found Birdchick Sharon via Neil Gaimans Fanblog. I am fascinated by her bee posts and her wonderful bird photography
Knitting and Chocolate
Because they go so well together
Chocolate Trudi combines two of my favourite pursuits and always has something interesting to read about.
Disco Knitter
Knit One, Hug One....
Lara has been through some big life changing events in the past year - most of them centred around a little Spawn by the name of Inigo - but cute with it.
I could also have mentioned Pom Pom (but she already has the award) or web-goddess, or missyfee, or KnitTatPug or ... but I'm restricted to 4 choices and that's pretty good out of the 92 I have on my Blogroll. It's no wonder I don't have enough hours in the day.

Ditto on your first two paragraphs.
You deserve the award. Your blog is one I visit almost daily. I enjoy it.
I rarely blog about my day and today I've had one of those days, and it will continue until next February,perhaps longer, but that's life. Perhaps I should blog daily ... when all else fails - knit on.
blush - thanks Kate
Thanks Kate :) How thoughtful!
Oh, I just found this. Thanks Kate. ::blush too::
Thank you, Kate.
This is the first time I've posted a comment on your blog, because I didn't have a Google account. So I've set one up at last so that you, and a couple of other blogs I read, don't feel I'm ignoring you when you write. Always enjoy stories of your interesting life - and the lovely photos.
Well, if I were giving out the award, I'd give it to you too! I think there are a multitude of reasons why we often don't comment when we read a blog we enjoy; for me, it's often just plain fatigue. But every so often I remember that, hey, you don't know I'm reading and enjoying your blog unless I tell you so!
