There once was a woman, who knit obsessively for five years, and lived to tell
A few people have asked about my whereabouts, and I thought I would drop in and tell that I'm fine. Still knitting, but here's the thing: I don't live and breath knitting anymore. I don't really know what happened, but suddenly I just noticed that I could live without checking the knit blogs and Ravelry every night. I could watch tv without knitting. I could even knit something and give it away without taking photos of it. I feel… free. :-DSo I don't think I'm gonna blog anymore. I've used all my words, and cannot really find anything interesting to say about the umpteenth pair of socks I've made. It's been really fun though, and that's because of you! If you're interested, you can still find me on Flickr and on Ravelry. Happy knitting, and thanks for reading!

Thanks for sharing your experiences for five years--you've knit so many beautiful things!
Voi.. tulen niiin kaipaamaan sukkiasi :)
Mulla on olleet aivan samanlaiset fiilikset tässä viime aikoina. Onneksi olen älynnyt kurkata ihania neuleitasi Ravelryssa :)
I added you to my friends on Ravelry. :)
I've only been knitting 3 years, I do sometimes wonder when the obsession will fade.
Kirjoittaja on poistanut tämän tekstin.
I will miss you, Terhi! I will miss pictures of your socks when you stand on the chair, and pictures of your son, and all your gorgeous scarves. I always thought of you as my Nancy Bush partner-in-crime, as we would often choose the same sock patterns. However, I'm glad there's Ravelry and Flickr to keep up! See you there!
I will truly miss your posts, Terhi, but am so glad to hear you're feeling happy and freed! We'll all keep admiring your skills and style via Ravelry, & I hope there will still be the occasional socks-on-a-chair picture. :)
I've loved following your blog, Terhi, and I'll miss it but I do understand. You were the first Finnish blogger I followed after visiting my best friend a few years ago who lives in Lempaala.
I'll keep up, if I may, on Ravelry.
all the best,
caroline aka fibertribe
oh, i've always loved your knitting and photography, and your blog was a nice compliment to it. you will be missed here, but i'm glad that you'll still be around on flickr and ravelry (which is basically where i spend all of my time anyway.)
Thank you Terhi! I love seeing what you do with a pattern. I'll be watching you on Flickr!
Aw, your blog was one of the first I started to read and I've always loved your pictures of projects, Onni, and your trips. Thank you for sharing part of your life! I'll see you on ravelry and flickr :-)
Just today I thought to myself that I must go check on flickr/ravelry what did you knit lately. Your blog was a real pleasure. Thank you :)
Awwwww! We will miss you!!!
But I definitely will keep track of you on Ravelry! Your knitting is so inspirational!
I've enjoyed your knitting and photos and posts! I discovered your blog because I used to read your sister's. I wish you all the best.
Terhi, thanks for sharing your knitting and beautiful photos for 5 years. I've enjoyed reading your blog, so I'll definitely miss your posts. But I'm happy for you that you feel free, so my best wishes as you go where your heart takes you. Take care, Terhi!
Your words and photos will be missed here, but there's something to be said for knowing when to step away. Best of luck in whatever you choose to tackle next!
I'm sorry to hear you won't be blogging, but I'm glad you're still knitting (and sharing your beautiful projects on Ravelry!)
I have loved all of your knits! I'll still be admiring your Flickr and Ravelry knits though. Thanks for sharing all your loveliness!
Your blog is the best! Thanks for taking the time and love to write it. :)
I know the feeling. I'm glad I have you as a contact on flickr, that way I won't miss out on anything you may post. :)
I have truly enjoyed you various works.
No, höh. Sinun juttujasi oli niin kiva seurata. Mutta ainahan on Ravelry!
Sinnuu tulee ikävä! Mutta tiedän mitä tarkoitat tuolla vapautumisella. Jotenkin se on mahtavaa tavallaan, kun ei joka ilta ole probleema mitä nyt neulois, eikä kaikki ajatukset koko ajan pyöri tiheyksien ja ohjeiden ja muiden perässä :))
Siskolle ja siskontytölle vilkutuksia :)
I will miss you. But I'm glad for the opportunity to follow your knitting adventures at Ravlery. Thanks for now!
Aika-aikaa kutakin. Kiitos hienosta, inspiroivasta blogistasi. Nähdään Ravelryssä :)
You will be missed! Your sense of aesthetic and your knitting philosophy, as well as those pictures, have been such an inspiration - thanks so much! You were one of the first knitting blogs I read and I'll definitely be following you on the rest of the knitting interweb :)
Kumma juttu, mutta aivan samoin on käynyt minullekin. Seuraan vielä tiettyjä blogeja (sinun mukaan lukien), neulon jonkin verran, mutta se himo kausi on ohi. En vaan tiedä miksi näin on käynyt.
Tulen kuitenkin kaipaamaan sinun ihanat sukka postaukset. Kaikkea hyvää tulevaisuuteen!
Tuttu tunne täälläkin. Kaipa neulomisessakin (tai ainakin siitä bloggaamisessa) tulee jossain vaiheessa vastaan saturaatiopiste. Ja sitten seuraa ihana vapauden tunne, kun tajuaa, että ei sittenkään ole mitenkään velvollinen tekemään mitään neuleisiin tai bloggaamiseen liittyvää. Sen jälkeen voikin neuloa vain silloin kuin huvittaa, ja nauttia siitä sitäkin enemmän.
Kiitos tähänastisesta ja palaamisiin Ravelryssä! :)
Thank you so much for all the wonderful posts. You are one of the people, who showed me what I could do with yarn and knitting needles, when there was hardly anything that I would like to knit available in Dutch shops. I do hope that you will not take down the blog altogether, because I consider it a magazine to leaf through whenever I am in need of some inspiration. See you on Flickr and Ravelry.
Morjens Terhi!
Mä olenkin miettinyt että minne lienet kadonnut, siis täältä mustasta villasta. Vaan olen huomannut Flickrin kautta että puikko heiluu edelleen...
Terveisiä, kotikonnuillekin asti.

Tulen kaipaamaan ihania sukkakuviasi ja kaunista blogiasi :) Ymmärrän kuitenkin täysin sen, mistä kirjoitit. Kaikella on aikansa ja paikkansa.
Kiitos kauniista blogista ja upeista neuleista. Jään kaipaamaan, mutta ymmärrän hyvin tuon asian mistä kirjoitat. Kaikkeen väsyy joskus...
Oikein hyvää jatkoa :-)
Voi, tulen kaipaamaan blogiasi!
(hassua, sanavahvistus näyttää "peersest", ei ehkä niin vahva ilmaus, mutta harmi kuitenkin!)
Thank you for blogging, I have enjoyed it but with Ravelry I can still enjoy your beautiful knits! Take care. xx
I have loved watching your knitting go by; I'll look forward to seeing photos on Flickr!
i wish you'd get on twitter! we have a great bunch of knitters there. i can actually stay in touch with people without blogging! i love it.
i know exactly what you mean about feeling free, though. hope we can keep in touch through ravelry and flickr.
I'm so so sad. I'll miss reading from you and seeing your beautiful pictures.
But I'll keep up with you on Ravelry.
I have enjoyed your blog so much! Your knitting and photos are so inspiring. Thank you for sharing!!!!
Kiitos, Terhi, inspiroivista hetkistä blogisi parissa. Toivottavasti laitat edelleenkin neulomuksiasi esille Ravelryyn, että pysyy mulla edes joku majakka valoisana. Onnellista vapautta!
Thank you so much for sharing with your readers! Best of luck to you.
Voi surku! Ymmärrän kyllä, lakipiste on saavutettu täälläkin, mutta jatkan neulomista edelleenkin. On päiviä, jopa viikkoja, jolloin en käy Ravelryssa enkä käy Blogilistalla. Luulen, että mieskin on helpottunut ;D Hyvät jatkot!
I have really enjoyed reading your blog and will miss your lovely posts. Glad to hear you are doing well!
Well said!!! and sweetly understood...
Toivon sinuella kaikkeä hyvää!
You know, I have been knitting for the same amount of time and I have been feeling similarly. I am still blogging although MUCH less regularly. I guess it is just a natural progression. I'll watch for you elsewhere but will still miss your beautiful blog. Thank you for writing all these years, you will be missed.
Time goes by!
I'm happy abou your happiness. I'll long your fantastic knittings.
Thanks you and your words/knitting. Have a good life
Ymmärrän, kaipa samantyyppinen "vapaus" omaakin bloggaamista harventaa. Mutta kiitos tähänastisista postauksista sekä siitä että jatkat ihanien neuleidesi esittelyä vielä muilla foorumeilla:)
I think it's a realization that a lot of people are coming to. Thank you for sharing.
On aika blogata ja on aika tehdä jotain muuta. Kiitos blogin pitämisestä, sitä oli ilo seurata. Sä otat aivan mahtavia kuvia!
Siitä lähtien kun löysin neuleblogit, tämä blogi on ollut yksi suosikeistani. Tekstisi ovat yhtä tyylikkäitä kuin neuleesi.
Ymmärrän että joskus tulee se piste, kun neuleet menettävät sen koukkunsa. Ehkä mullekin on käymässä jotain sellaista, kun blogeja tulee luettua vähemmän, neuleista haaveilen vähemmän ja monesti en edes puikkoihin tartu. En vaan meinannut uskoa että se voisi olla mahdollista!
Kiitos kaikista jakamistasi käsitöistä ja jutuista!
it's been a joy following your blog over the years. i'm glad i'll still see you on Rav.
You know that I exactly how I have been feeling lately. And TV is really quite fine even without knitting in my hands.
So glad we had the opportunity to meet....we shall keep in touch.
I've very much enjoyed reading your blog over the past several years. Thanks for all you've shared!
Thankyou for your posts over five years - I'll miss your blog!
It´s been a priviledge reading your blog.
All my best!
I'll miss you, but I totally understand. Enjoy having more time in the "real" world!
See you in Ravelry, dear Terhi!
I have missed your posts already. But, I am very happy for you that you are moving on. Thank you so much for all the creativity that you have been sharing.

I've enjoyed reading your blog so much, thank you!
We're going to miss you :).
Thank you from me in Germany.
I loved to read the blog and to sea your very special works and to admire your so gracious modelling with a little bit melancholy.
All the best.
I follow you on ravelry.
Ute
It'll be sad to see you go but I will look forward to your knits on Ravelry!
I was just wondering about you the other day. How nice that you dropped in to let us know of your decision. I will add you to my Ravelry list (though I, too, only drop in there occasionally now.)
I've thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful knitting these past years!
Kiitos Terhi! Blogisi oli ja on heino. Joskus kuitenkin pitää levähtää kaikesta. Sinä olet luova, ja luovuutesi varmasti johdattaa sinut jonnekin levättyään jonkin aikaa. On kai hyvä päästää irti kaikesta kokonaan, että voi antaa uudelle tilaa...
Kiitos vielä!

Claudia
Tehri,
I will miss you so much! I loved coming here and seeing your beautiful pictures of your beautiful knitting and "hearing" what you had to say, always something interesting.
Hope to run into you on Ravelry......but it won't be the same.....do write big descriptions in your notebook, please!
Kay
I'll miss you very much!!
