I’ve been blogging for about five and half years now.  To say it has been rewarding beyond my wildest expectations is a vast understatement.  I have made friends, learned many, many new things and received far more than I have given.  I thank you all, who have come on this journey with me, profoundly and from the bottom of my heart.

However, life and circumstances have become such that blogging isn’t going to be possible any more.  I’m on a new medication which has some fairly incapacitating (if not exactly dangerous) side effect which leave me without strength or much in the way of focus.  I am still knitting, but only very simple things that I can’t mess up too badly and usually, only a couple of rows/rounds at a time.  Also, dad’s condition keeps deteriorating and he needs more help all the time just to get things done - like paying bills and doing laundry.  So what energy I do have goes into that.

I’ve gotten many notes inquiring into my well-being over the last month.  I will try to respond to them, but I can’t make any promises.  Suffice it to say I’m as well as can be expected :)

Thank you all for your concern and for reading along with my little knitting adventures.  Further patterns and/or tutorials - if there are any - will be posted on Ravelry (user name Robbyn).  I know this isn’t available to all of you for one reason or another and I’m sorry about that but it’s the best I can do.

Onwards :)
