Why?
Because the world really needed another knitblog?
Because I’m the best knitter ever, and everyone should knit what I do?
Because I’m the coolest person ever, and everyone should always know what’s going on in my life?
Nah… mainly because I want to join Sock Madness, which I can’t do without a blog! Also, I’m thinking that keeping a knitblog may help me finish off some of my old UFOs and destash a bit, so that when I move in August I won’t have quite such a disorganized stash of unused yarn and unfinished projects to keep track of.
My New Year’s Knitting Resolutions:
1. Keep this blog up to date… don’t let it languish like my old LJ. Fortunately, more interesting things tend to happen in my knitting than in my other life, so hopefully I’ll have more to talk about here.
2. Inventory my UFO’s and figure out how to make status bars for them. Then, either frog for the yarn, or finish the d*** things!
3. Inventory my stash yarn, and figure out what’s worth keeping, and what should be donated.
4. Finish the projects that had been promised for the holidays! They’re already just a bit overdue… I think the hat and scarf I promised my mother will be a lot more useful NOW than for her birthday in August!
5. Get a digital camera so that I can put up pictures. I suspect that I won’t be getting a fantastically advanced camera, so in order to get good pictures I’ll need daylight, which at this time of year I don’t have outside of work hours – so my goal is to post pictures of what’s in progress at least once per week. Of course, that can’t happen until I buy a camera… but that will be soon.
Bored yet (if anyone’s actually reading this)? Well, I’ll get some actual knitting content up soon. I promise.
LOL…Congrats on getting your knitting blog up and running. It won’t be any time at all before you are posting up a storm. I started mine in Dec and I ended the year with 44 posts. Curious to see how I end this year. Have fun blogging and knitting. I’ve add you to my blogroll.

Congrats on your blog! It is fun to do and can be kind of tough to keep up – but then you go back and read some of the things you posted and it is worth the work. Happy Knitting!
