A Sniff and a Reverant Tear

What is there to say? How can you break the news to others that a dear, dear friend has passed on when they never even met them?

So long, little fuglings.
As many of you may have guessed, PRK and I have decided to hang up our snark and go back to the outside world.

At least their blog still lives on in their memory. Somewhere, Out there, in that big cruel world, there's a server faithfully preserving their leagacy for future generations of fuglings. Giving us guidance. Leading us away from the murky abys that awaits unwary knitters without such a guide. Encouraging us to open our video blinded eyes to the beauty that can be ours if we only avoid the entrapment of fuggliness. Showing us the way to identify a pattern without hope. Revealing to us the truth of "drastically reduced Sale" fibers that the mega box stores foist on the hapless masses. Weaning us away from the lure of Stash for Stash's sake. Nursing us through the withdrawl symptoms of breaking the addicition of obsession.

Well, they tried at least. I was doing great with the program. Then they left us to persue their "real" lives. And their efforts were not in vain. For a while. Then the Siren Song of the Hobby Lobby broke through the protective fog that I had been veiled in. And ... I .... gave ... in.

The remnants of PRK and KK's teachings still lurk in the back of my mind. I have been consistently finishing UFO's before starting too many new ones. I do look at my Stash with a slightly more critical eye.

It's been a long year, and now

It's time to cast off the dank shadow of mourning and step into the light. Remember the YKW?! teachings. Get back on track.

See ya sooner, rather than later.
