Reboot

It's worth reminding myself that I shouldn't blog when I'm tired. I knew I was being crabby, and I didn't care. So, lesson learned...again.

If there's any benefit to the mini-purge, it is that I am finally facing what I have probably known for awhile: blogging exclusively, or primarily, about knitting is something I've exhausted. While I still have a lot to learn about knitting, I'm no longer the newbie documenting every misstep and minor success. It makes sense that I would have difficulty writing about knitting when there's nothing novel or troublesome about the projects on my needles. Contorting myself in search of knitting topics every day is not feasible.

So, here's the deal... I will try to write about knitting as much as possible, but I am releasing myself from feeling like I'm violating your trust when I don't blog about knitting every day. This should mean the end of non-entries like yesterday and an unseemly percentage of this month's output. Hopefully you're OK with this, although I've run across enough opinions about the subject on Ravelry to realize that some may be miffed that a knitblog will be adopting a more general theme. I believe you'd rather read something with a little substance than negligible knitting content for the sake of fitting the thematic construction. If I'm wrong, sorry.

That said, I don't foresee this being a major overhaul. This blog always has been who I am, for better and worse. That won't change, although I'll try to keep the "worse" to a minimum. Sticking to knitting was an artificial constraint and one I didn't observe all the time anyway. I guess this is my way of coming to terms that this place will be the same as it ever was, except now I'm dropping the illusion that it is only a knitting site.

Thanks for reading. And thanks for putting up with this internal conversation and meta blogging. The good news is I already know what I want to write about tomorrow.
