You MORE than deserve a break! Your faithful followers will still be here waiting, and maybe the wait will cause the annoyers to go away? (wink)<br /><br />Burn-out takes the love of something away. You don't want to find yourself hating knitting, which is supposed to be a stress-reliever, because you've overdone it. I find it's very helpful even with something as small as a project that isn't going well. I just walk away, and come back to it some other day. It will still be there, and I'll have a much more positive feel about it later. Thanks for all you do, Diana!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781113770013479150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526470724880886986.post-91636634687097705452011-02-25T06:14:53.245-06:002011-02-25T06:14:53.245-06:00Don't burn yourself out.

Take t...Diana, please don't burn yourself out. Take the breaks that you need to be able to do your best. We knitters all need you, the newest to the oldest. I have been knitting for many years, but I have learned so much from you since finding your web site. <br />I did buy an Artisan mid gauge knitting machine, by the way. There were just no used Silver Reed machines for sale anywhere around here. I did have a couple of problems, but Distinctive Knits replaced my main bed carriage and row counter right away. It's not Swiss engineering by any means, but it is not a bad little machine and does what I want it to do. To buy a new Silver Reed mid gauge with a ribber would have cost two and a half times as much. And, I was told by a woman who has been a dealer for many years that the Silver Reed factory in Japan burned down and their machines are all being manufactured in China now! So there you have it.JoWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150834215203080134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526470724880886986.post-6423518119793090482011-02-22T09:34:31.442-06:002011-02-22T09:34:31.442-06:00I think you should take a day off from EVERYTHING ...I think you should take a day off from EVERYTHING and give yourself a break! It seems to me there is something about taking a break in The Ten Commandments, isn't there? Of course, this is the pot calling the kettle black, but maybe if I tell enough people to take a break, I will, too!Elaine From The Grand Cities of Dakotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02452865348638474494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526470724880886986.post-19035424505387127282011-02-22T08:53:39.760-06:002011-02-22T08:53:39.760-06:00Everyone need R and R from time to time.

Le persone che pretendono tutte le nostre attenzioni devono rendersi conto che quello che facciamo è perchè ci piace aiutare chi ha bisogno di imparare ma nessuno ci obbliga. Abbiamo casa, marito, figli e spesso un lavoro a cui dobbiamo dedicarci e non possono pretendere tutta la nostra attenzione. Non sentirti in colpa e non giustificarti se non riesci ad accontentare tutti, nella vita ci vuole comprensione. Mi piace quello che stai facendo con le tue lezioni e i video, e sei per me un modello da seguire. Col mio blog e qualche video cerco anch'io di aiutere chi vuole imparare a lavorare con le macchine per maglieria, maglia e uncinetto e da te ho imparato tanto. Continua così, che c'è chi ti capisce!<br />I write from Italy, do not speak English and try to understand and translate with Google Translate .... People who claim all our attention must realize that what we do is because we like helping those in need but no one forces us to learn. We house, husband, children and often work to which we must dedicate ourselves and can not require our full attention. Do not feel guilty and do not excuse yourself if you can not please everyone in life wants us to understand. Like what you're doing with your classes and videos, and are to me a model to follow. With my blog and some video I try to help those who want to learn to work with knitting machines, knitting and crochet and I learned a lot from you. Keep it up, that there are people who understand you!Silviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352863579573104412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526470724880886986.post-5085442612222261912011-02-21T19:49:12.537-06:002011-02-21T19:49:12.537-06:00I second John!
