knitting stalker?

on the way to school

E: "what are you doing today mummy?"

me: "I'm having a coffee with a lady I met on a knitting website"

Miss K: "you're not supposed to meet up with people from the internet"


told off about internet safety by my 11 year old......

in order to keep safe we are meeting in a public place, and I've told someone where and when.
and now I've told you.
just in case......


I don't think axe murderers pose as knitters on ravelry. but you never know. I'll let you know x

edited to add:
it's ok, not an axe murderer, but I was prepared, I had my sock needles at the ready...

  1. I've had similar conversations with my boys. Especially when we had the bloggy meetup in the summer - AND I was going with friend who's also a blogger.

    Is good to know our children listen to the advice given at school though.

  2. It is very hard to explain to my children when I meet up with online friends. I rather doubt anyone would really go to the trouble of inventing a complex knitting and crocheting and jewellery making persona in order to meet a terminally untrendy, middle aged, porky crafting mum like me, but I suppose you never can tell!
