Are blogs a dying breed?

 As you might have gathered, I like knitting and crochet.  Anyway, recently I have searched for other blogs, as an interesting pattern caught my eye, and the ones I looked at haven't had any new posts for about 7/8 years.  So, this made me wonder if vlogs are slowly taking over.

So, I wonder, if  you're reading this, do you have your own blog?  When was the last time you posted?  If you haven't been blogging, what are you doing instead, vlogging?

It's not something I think I would like to do, as I don't think I photograph well, so the thought of being on screen talking leaves me cold.

I think I'll stick to writing this blog.......I might even start posting on Fidgetty Fingers again as well.

Prevarication is the thief of time.

So....Almost a year ago my distant cousin, Julie, sent me a book titled Knit your own Zoo.
She put on the gift tag, "I'd like a giraffe", or similar words.
I knitted all the pieces, using Ricorumi cotton yarn. (Made for toy making,).
However, when I have started to assemble the giraffe, I have become disheartened, as the stuffing is showing through. So, I have been putting off assembling it. I hate it when something like that happens.
I even crocheted a four foot square blanket rather than assemble. (I'm not a wizard, it was chunky yarn....took me the days.)
And I am even writing about putting it off in preference to assembling.
Get on with it woman, I hear you shout.....OK, I will.
But how can a tiny thing take so long?
Oh, and I knitted a beret for myself as well.

Right......time to sew a giraffe together.
