Hi Sandi! I am new to knitting (about four months knitting now) so I am sorry to say I am not fearless, but I am addicted and determined to get better. I was wondering if you knew if there were any books out there combining bible study and knitting. (I don't mean to offend in any way, but I am part of a mom's group at church and a few of us knit and/or crochet. We are interested in having our group meet over the summer and do a "Warm Up America" project or "Project Linus" and wanted to work in a bible study/devotional as well) Thanks! Holly

Dear Knitting Daily, I enjoy all the email newsletters that you send, also the magazines that I subscribe to. My question is: "Where has Knitting Daily TV gone to? Knitting Daily TV was so well done, informative, and educational. I hope you will come back. I have Direct TV and was only able to see you for seven shows on channel 24, KLCS. You are a wonderful place to go for inspriration, peace, what is new or tradition, and how-to-do-it. The patterns are georgous and fun. Your like a good friend who comes by. Thanks again, Linie

I am humbled by these comments by people knitting fearlessly. I am inspired to knit not whine in 2009.

I think I will go back and read all of the comments. Thank you so much for sharing these! Yarnies of all kinds are such wonderful people - I feel honored to be a part of this amazing, international FEARLESS group! My only unhappiness is that yarnies in generations past were not able to take part in this happy conglomeration because the technology/opportunity was not available. One of my hopes in 2009 is that this yarnie group will grow to include many more friends in other parts of the world.....wouldn't it be wonderful to have an influx of knitting enthusiasts from Mumbai? The newly crochet-crazy from Ulaan Bataar? Spinners from Addis Ababa? Well, I think so. :o)

Just want you to know that knowledge of knitting dies hard. I had a stroke in Nov. and I am 81 which can be a challenge to quick recovery but since leaving the rehab unit, I have completed two pairs of sox. Hurray! Ginny from Vermont.

Sandi, thank you for the Baby's First Sock. My second grandchild will be born in August, and I hope to have several pair made for her. I have a form of math dyslexia, see numbers strangely, etc., but never have any problems figuring out Ann Budds' directions. Knitting Daily is one of my favorite sites to help me grow as a knitter.

to Marilyn 1423: My husband lost an eye as a young boy 50 years ago and has lead a happy, normal life. I hope you will be cancer free and also be able to return to a normal, happy life.

Hi Sandi, I am a new blogger. I hadn't considered myself a Fearless Knitter until I read your comments and the blogs you highlighted today. I knew I was knitting as a way to manage my life change following the death of my husband in February, 2008, due to cancer, but it has only been recently that I have realized I must knit to keep myself healthy. I have been a life long knitter when I could fit it in. Now it's my job, so to categorize it. I love knitting. I love the feel of the yarn in my fingers and the process calms me. I have given myself permission to knit as much as it takes to feel well. Thank you for your web site. I feel like I belong. Susan McP.

I am so impressed with Sandi - that smile - that personality - her upbeat attitude - she is a joy to "read". I am not sure how she got this job, but it was an outstanding choice. She is someone that we all wish lived next door. I am becoming a fearless spinner. I bought a new wheel and found a wonderful "mentor" and I am off and running. Keep up the good work Sandi, you are a "fearless inspiration"! Linda B.

Wow, there were some really inspiring stories! Thank you for sharing them. I was a fearless crocheter who learned to knit this past year. Both crafts offered comfort and support as I faced many trials. I had a miscarriage, had a 2nd and 3rd surgery, and had a close relative pass. Instead of fretting or worrying, I took to my work and watched it turn into baby hats, blankets, sweaters and other gifts. What a rewarding pastime.

The stories you have published are very inspiring. I too understand how our love of the fibres and yarns can help us get through the bad things that happen. I lost a son last year in a tragic accident, and when I needed "time out" I got on the internet and indulged in my passion for yarns, and design inspiration. I do not know how many hours I spent in this way, but I was able to switch off during those times and a year later I am still standing. And I now have an amazing stash!

At 76, and after many tries at knitting sweaters (2 sleeves) and using sewing machines (2 sleeves ANYTIME), I decided I didn't like to make TWO of anything. So if you know of a one-legged person, I'll be glad to make a sock for them! M.M.
