subscribeI've been spending a lot of time on Ravelry lately. Looking for patterns and finding new groups to join is one of my favorite ways to pass the time lately. In the process, I've found a number of great little knitting blogs. The more I read them, the more I find myself nodding my head in agreement and laughing at what is said.
My kind of people.
I wonder, if in the process of trying to find a new hobby or trying out a new craft, the community around the activity is at least as important in the decision to stick with it as the activity itself. Runners, beer drinkers, knitters, scientists... We all carry multiple labels, but maybe certain activities attract people will similar personalities and that's what makes us stick with it.
Just a random thought by yours truly.

Yes, I think you're right. There are tough times and sticky places with any activity you do, and it's a lot easier to get over them and work through them if you have a community of people you like and who like you.
Of course, you do also have to like the activity; I know and like a lot of model ship builders, and yet I have no desire to take up model ship building.
