Day 1

Originally posted on Friday, January 27
This is it. The big day. My very first post. I've been reading knitting blogs for a couple of years now. And like many, I've been reading the best of the best, as well as some of the lesser known, and watching the projects fly off the needles (or stagnate and stall - we've all been there).

I've thought about starting this blog for a while now - but there's always the hard question - what do I call it? I think I like the name for now - who knows, maybe I'll change it in a couple of months. We'll find out. I'm hoping this blog will make me a little more accountable to myself. I often sense some guilt from other bloggers when there's no picture of progress to post. Maybe this will guilt me in to finishing more projects - like not letting the 75% completed cardigan sit here on the side table - unworked - for the next week. Maybe this isn't necessarily the best reason to start a blog, but I'm guessing (hoping) I'll find more reasons to keep the blog going later.

We start with uh....no pictures. Yeah. I really prefer to read knitting blogs with pictures. But, seeing as how I've not yet advanced into the world of digital cameras, well...the pictures are not so easy. I'll get some film developed in the next week and work on the digital camera problem. I think we actually own, but it's at least 5 years old (that's really old in technology) and I'm not really sure where it even is.

In the meantime - my current WIPs:
Branching Out (for the Red Scarf Project) - just cast on (yeah, I know - deadline looming)
Red scarf #2 - seed stitch pattern
Eris cardigan
OK - that's really not all the WIPs I have (I have LOTS), but that's all I'm actively working on.
