Now, I'm not much of a blogger. I don't post everyday, I don't have many readers (not that I don't appreciate all three of you!), but I do try and contribute to other bloggers' and podcasters' projects. I make comments, contribute tips, and just try to support what other people doing.

It's very rewarding to find that my contribution make a difference. On my way home on the bus tonight, I was listening to Episode 19 of Sticks and String and I almost fell off my seat when my story about how knitting ties me to my family history was read. (It appears about 14 minutes into the show).

As someone just getting started with this blogging thing, this is a great way to get out there. Everyone else is just trying to share their experiences with knitting and life, so some supporting words and helpful comments and stories can really make a difference. Joining knit-alongs and swaps is a great way to "meet" people online who share your interests. I am participating in a knit-along making baby sweaters, the Pea Pod KAL, as well a letter swap for knitters started by Domesticat. I am really enjoying increasing my contribution to this blog world, because you really do get out what you put into it.
