U Comment I Follow Comment Policy
Great comments make for a great site. To encourage bloggers, especially knitters, to take time out of their busy day to leave meaningful remarks, I joined the U Comment I Follow community.
If you are a knitter, fiber artist, or simply part of the overwhelming majority of good people in the world, the following comment policy is not referring to you. Enjoy my knitting content and I always welcome your feedback, however brief or detailed.
However, in an age of spammers such as Joe Does Great Tires or Emma’s Fancy Flings, a comment policy is necessary.
This means a blogger will receive a link back from this site after 3 approved comments on 3 different posts from 3 different days. For those doing mental math, it simply means 3 comments in total, spread out on three different posts. All comments are moderated before posting, even if you are a returning visitor. I try to check my email once a day to get things approved.
My goal is to thank those bloggers who make this site better. Since I have no intention of becoming a spam farm, please keep the following in mind.
- If your name is essentially an advertisement, you will be deleted
- If your site is not a blog, you will likely be deleted unless you are knitting related
- If your name is the same as mine, Kathryn, you will be nofollow because my name is nofollow. Pick a different name or spelling
- If your comment is of the … “Great post but I didn’t really read your entry because I’m too lazy and just want a link back” variety, you may be posted, but with no link back
- If you include a link within your comment, it will be nofollow
- If I wouldn’t let my kids visit your site, neither will my readers
- If your site is offensive, your IP will be banned
To manage comments, my webmaster installed Lucia’s LinkyLove plug-in. Lucia is also the keeper of the Machine Knit Bloggers Webring.

Thank you for commenting on my site. If you hadn’t I would not have found your wonderful site. I cannot believe that all of my repeated Googling of Passap and other machine knitting terms has not brought me here before. I have only skimmed the surface of this site so far, but I will be back again and again! I have a lot to learn about machine knitting.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and letting me know about your great site.
Perhaps you should write a post that teaches the actual knitters how to comment. Also, try ending each post with a question that encourages participation.
But above all don’t be discouraged if the comments don’t come immediately. It does take time. And I am sure your content is going to help a lot of knitting enthusiasts regardless if they comment or knot…argh sorry couldn’t help myslelf…lol..
Adam,
I definitely need to work on asking questions at the end of a post. Sometimes I have, sometimes I haven’t. I need to be more consistent so my readers know I value their input.
I’m usually so glad I’m finally done processing all the photos for any given post that I forgot about all the small blogging details that can make or break a site for a viewer.
Thanks for taking the time to give me specific feedback.
Hope I am following instructions as I really need help with the passap duo 80. Your pictures and instructions on setting up the stand were great and gave me great relief as no one around here (Apache Junction, AZ.) has a passap 80.
Now I hope you can help me in getting the racking handle installed. It looks simple but I can’t get it to stay in. Also I don’t or can’t get the Deco attachment attached. I once had a passap E6000 but in moving I had to sell it and until I inherited this duo 80 I haven’t been knitting. Now I am all imspired again and so anxious to get started. Thanks for any help you can give.
