The Internet and Needlework

The internet has greatly shrunk our world making information and communication almost instant. Needleworkers have certainly embraced this new technology. We are able to see many museum needlework collections. We can see needlework designs, both old and new; the new ones are visible almost as soon as they beome available. We are also able to connect with people from all over the world.

Many long-distance and long-lasting friendships have developed thanks to the ease of internet communication. Not only can people all over the world share their love of needlework and participate in stitch-alongs and round robins, but they can also share important events in their lives.

Several days ago, I thought it would be interesting to see the countries where everyone lives, so I installed a "traffic feed" on the bottom of the blog page. I have compiled a list of the countries represented and added it to the bottom of the sidebar. If your country isn't listed, please email me and ask me to add it.
