This weekend I discovered that if you search for my Facebook page using my name, you may not find it. Adding the tags knit or knitting will help, but my page still does not appear near the top of the list. I am grateful to the lady who showed me that people would find my family and friends facebook page. They may not realise it is me, but if they did, they could see more about me than I would like to be generally known. I thought that with my unusual maiden name my page would be near the top of any search.

(Do you think a hundred Likes is too many?) I didn't think I cared. I set up the page so I could see the finished projects from my workshops but it seems people are shy. And
A friend of mine is starting a blog, and I am really looking forward to reading the posts. I have discovered she can take a good photograph, which will add to the joy of reading a well thought out post. But it seems it was not an easy decision. She was worried about who might read her blog and what they might think. I can sympathise. This blog is my second blog. The concept of my first blog was to describe the life of a freelance designer in real time. It is a job that many people aspire to and envy. They have a notion of what it would be like, and they didn't like to read anything that didn't fit into their vision. All dreams have a sinister side – a twisted reality is very unpredictable, a
