Oh, my. I feel like an idiot. I shall have to look up the word “fetching”. (I have lived my entire life in So. Fla, within the sound of crashing ocean waves. We have never required anything thing wool nor have we ever been dependent on knitting skills.)

Regardless, your site touched a deep chord in my soul. Maybe this crazy upside-down-pineapple-cake world really IS designed for couples..

May we ALL find that perfect companion, who loves us regardless of our idiosyncricities and faults! THAT is true companionship, isn’t it?

[...] Anyways, I finally got to her blog entries this morning and this one hit right where it hurts. It is part of the How I met my Husband story. Reading it, made me realise that although I’m always saying that I don’t mind being alone, my true feeling is that being alone sucks… it sucks big time!!! It made me cry and even now nearly 8 hours later it is going to make me cry again. [...]

its unfortunate, but i have learned how to enjoy those times when i am alone. sometimes i seek to find times to stay away by myself. now, i don’t want to come off as crazy of course, but there is value in being alone sometimes because it exposes the true you and makes you have to deal with some things about yourself.

you know, when you’ve been alone a while and have made the conscious decision that you’re going to be alone for the rest of your life, it does make being alone easy. In making this conscious decision, I think one is freeing him/herself from disappointment but there’s also still that possibility of surprise. I think you know what I mean. The fetchings look very nice in that shade of blue..and the buttons!

There is a time for being alone, even if only to appreciate the beauty of being with a special someone. But in general, I do agree that being alone SUCKS. Luckily, I don’t have to be alone if I don’t want to right now. Spending the holidays alone sucks even more than being alone normally.

Loved your story…I would agree that being along sucks, although I was lucky (or unlucky depending on your point of view) to meet my husband when I was 18. Beautiful knitting work also

A pleasure shared is a pleasure doubled, there can be a quiet joy in solitude, but it’s nice to have someone to share with at the end of the day. I love the buttons and the colour of the gloves.
