So, my last post was Anticipation. Now it is
Blogging.
See the pattern? Of course you do.
Why am I doing this?
I seem to always do things with a theme, an order, or at least with the
establishment of a relationship. I am an
accountant; debits equal credits; end of story. My brain doesn’t compute
anything that isn’t related to something else; a known variable within the
formula that leads to a finite solution.
Organization.
My Blog was begun almost three years ago.
At that time, my plan to combine my love of cycling and knitting
together fit into what I considered a missing link in the online knitting
community – pattern critiques. The theme
provided the incentive and the order to do first one post, then the next, etc. I re-knit each of the projects through
writing about them. The yarn ball rating
at the end was fun, too.
Then along came Ravelry and the perfect online place to post pattern critiques,
by thousands of users! I began looking
at every pattern of my favorites and my friends’ projects, and their favorites,
too. Soon, there just wasn’t the need,
or the enthusiasm on my part, to continue the Blog for knitting pattern
critiques.
However, the Blogging bug had hit and I wanted then and now to write from time
to time – about knitting and cycling and a multitude of other topics. The Knippets are something I like, but damn
if Twitter hasn’t taken the place of quick ditties about life; for me,
primarily knitting and cycling. I’ll
continue the Knippets because I like them and it is, after all, my Blog.
The current theme, therefore, while not catchy or punny or even creative, will
give me the discipline to ponder the next post.
It will begin with C, of course, but what will it be?
I just decided, too, to include a photo or link or something that relates to
the topic. Here's a really cool site that is kind of like Wikopedia for song lyrics: A-Z Lyrics Universe.
Maybe eventually I'll get around to a graphic revision. It needs that, too.
Thanks for reading!
sounds like a fun project... oooh the anticipation of it♥
