I love your patterns (and I too have been to random knitting circles that are a little less than inclusive. That's so not the point of a knitting circle. I don't get it.) 2. You're right--it only matters when we say it matters. My mantra of 2012 is "good enough." I think our mantras could be good friends :) Hope this week is better! 1.

It doesn't mean that people don't care about you (unless said things are seriously & overly harsh. There is definitely a line!) it just means that they are entitled to an opinion as well. The people that DO care most about you, and that you care about, SHOULD be able to be open and honest with you, right? I would be much more worried about the people who chose to sugar coat everything. You just gotta roll with it and realize that it's not always meant as an attack! Much easier said than done, I know, because I'm pretty sure I'm the most sensitive person on the planet & even when things aren't specifically directed towards me, I feel like they are. But that's life! Not everyone always has something positive to say!! You're a good person and great at what you do in life. Just remember that :) Unfortunately, when you put yourself out there, you’re sometimes going to get criticism or hear things that you don’t want to hear (whether on facebook, your blog, knitting groups, etc).
