April 1, 2009

April 1, 2009 By Carole

I have made a difficult decision and I need to share it with all of you.

I will not be blogging anymore.

I am quitting knitting and selling off my yarn stash.

I’m quitting spinning and giving away my wheels.

I won’t  be on Ravelry or flickr anymore.

I’m done.

I think I’ll take up stamp collecting in my new found spare time.

That is all.  Good bye.

    It took me until the fourth statement to catch on. Guess I really am a natural blonde!

    But will you be texting?
    Happy April Fool’s day.

    FINALLY.

    (April fools!)

    Ha! Happy April 1 to you as well. I went to the gym this morning and lifted, ran 6 miles, ate a completely balanced breakfast and made it to work on time. Or…the alarm didn’t go off and we were all scrambling – a little joke from the alarm clock!

    Just when I found your super-cool blog, you’re calling it quits? Aw ‘cmon! No hard-core addict goes cold-turkey man!

    As if!

    Good one!

    Stamp collecting is fussy and expensive. Why not become a lounge singer instead?

  10. Julia says

    April 1, 2009 at 12:34 pm

    haha! April Fool’s!!

  11. Estella says

    April 1, 2009 at 1:08 pm

    Happy April Fools to you too! 🙂 You can take up underwater basketweaving instead of knitting.

  12. Laurie says

    Ha ha ha! That was funny. I’ve been lurking for awhile but had to enjoy the joke with you.

  16. Doris says

    You didn’t fool me!! Mostly cause other people already have today….

    But who will knit for my babies? Yes, I’m pregnant with twins. Runs in the family. Goodie. I just found out it’s going to be a boy and a girl. I was going to name them Carole and Dale and ask you and Dale to be the godparents, but now…

  18. sandy says

    April 1, 2009 at 5:44 pm

    Please send all of your yarn to:
    Sandy Hurley……
    12 Char……..
    🙂
    Hugs to you and your stamps!

    funny
    my steph daily calendar said to tell people you love you are quitting knitting — then said they will never believe you.
    thanks for the laugh

  24. Stephanie says

    You are horribly cruel, but funny.

  25. lisa says

    April 1, 2009 at 7:31 pm

    OK, so you had me going for a moment, mostly because I called home this afternoon and the kiddo wasn’t here and I had a bit of a panic and I wondered if the most horrible thing happened would I be able to write it on the blog and close comments and the blog and and and. And then I took a breath. Turns out he had detention and didn’t remind anybody. And then Don and the dogs had a rather long walk and I had similar worries. WHAT’s with that??? Glad you’re just yanking our chain!

  26. Dave Daniels says

    April 1, 2009 at 8:20 pm

    Yeah, if I had hair, I’d be a blond to think THAT would ever happen.

  27. Dave Daniels says

    April 1, 2009 at 8:21 pm

    And…can I have you spinning wheels? You know, because you’ll have SO much extra time on your hands.

  28. (formerly) no-blog-rachel says

    April 1, 2009 at 8:34 pm

    The only part I believed was the first sentence – and I shouldn’t have even done that. Good one.

  29. Robby says

    April 1, 2009 at 8:39 pm

    I was being sucked in (tragically, I might add) until the knitting part and then well…

  30. Katie K says

    April 1, 2009 at 9:40 pm

    Won’t the recycled kitty litter yarn reviewed in the Knitter’s Review today make you change your mind?

  31. stephieknits says

    April 1, 2009 at 9:56 pm

    Thanks! That was good!

  32. PICAdrienne says

    April 1, 2009 at 10:00 pm

    Happy April Fool’s Dear Lady!

  33. Wanda says

    Good one! Not that I believed it for a second!

  34. liz says

    late to the party but I seem to remember you doing something similar last year ;>

    I’d miss you!

  35. Lynne says

    April 3, 2009 at 4:07 pm

    Good one. Very funny. You were about the tenth person to get me this week!

  36. JessaLu says

    April 4, 2009 at 6:03 pm

    Since you didn’t ask me how to kill the blog, I’m guessing it was all a sham. ;op
