Life's a Stitch

If you’re a blogger, don’t you wish sometimes that you could contact some of those people who arrived at your site through strange Google searches? Like the person tonight who googled from Japan "solution to dining philoshoper problem."  The internet has loads of info, but Life’s a Stitch is the only site that came up when someone wanted to solve the issue of a philosophizing dinner guest.

It’s not too difficult to guess what the people behind these searches were thinking: "dirty blog photo albums," " girl with puffy nipples," and "cute young things." But what made them click on a knitting blog? There is usually enough of a description to indicate what they’re in for.

Two recent searches left me chuckling, however, for their randomness. How about "roast bear cook time oven" or "Hong Kong tushy?"

It just occurred to me that some of you regulars may have come to me through one of these searches. No problem, you obviously like some aspect of knitting and you are totally welcome to continue reading, I’m just concerned about the prospect of you "inhaling mouse turds" and I hope you figure out "where to pee on a train."

Went to the mail this morning and I’ve been happily RAOK’ed! Inside a package from Knitter’s Review was a simply stated gift card: "Happy RAOK," a box of knitterly note cards and the piece de resistance:

Thank you! It’s amazing how things like this happen at a good time; recently life has presented us with some dropped stitches and this was a happy way to mark the fact that they’ve been picked up and things are clicking along in their not so usual way. Much appreciated!
