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.

In the U.K., in the dim and distant past when I was at school, everyone tried to beat everyone else to chant and act out :
“Pinch, punch for the first of the month !”

Beth Said,
Ha ha! You did get me with the “I will not be blogging anymore.” But when I got to the second line I realized you were joking. The part about stamp collecting was a nice touch.
Chris Said,
Giggle. And Snort, especially to what ChristyH said.
daisie Said,
yes, I was really worried at the first line and swiftly enlightened by the second!
thank goodness it is April 1 and not January 1

Interesting. I have the Yarn Harlot’s desk calendar, and today’s entry reads: “For a fantastic April Fools’ joke, tell your family you’re giving up knitting. (Actually, don’t bother. They would never believe you.)”
jillian Said,
Ha! April Fools!
gale (she shoots sheep shots) Said,

Patty Said,
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!
Kara Said,
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!
Debby Said,
Happy April Fool’s Day to you TOO!!!

You can take up underwater basketweaving instead of knitting.

You didn’t fool me!! Mostly cause other people already have today….
Cookie Said,
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…
sandy Said,
Please send all of your yarn to:

thanks for the laugh
jill Said,
You got me for a sec. Geesh.
Happy 1st to you too!
Bossygirl Said,
OK, ha! (and *whew.*)
blogless sharon Said,
YEAH RIGHT! APRIL FOOLS DAY TO YOU TOO
Stephanie Said,
You are horribly cruel, but funny.
lisa Said,
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!
Dave Daniels Said,
Yeah, if I had hair, I’d be a blond to think THAT would ever happen.
Dave Daniels Said,
And…can I have you spinning wheels? You know, because you’ll have SO much extra time on your hands.
(formerly) no-blog-rachel Said,
The only part I believed was the first sentence – and I shouldn’t have even done that. Good one.
Robby Said,
I was being sucked in (tragically, I might add) until the knitting part and then well…
Katie K Said,
Won’t the recycled kitty litter yarn reviewed in the Knitter’s Review today make you change your mind?
stephieknits Said,
Thanks! That was good!
PICAdrienne Said,
Happy April Fool’s Dear Lady!
Wanda Said,
Good one! Not that I believed it for a second!

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

Lynne Said,
Good one. Very funny. You were about the tenth person to get me this week!
JessaLu Said,
Since you didn’t ask me how to kill the blog, I’m guessing it was all a sham. ;op
