Introductions All 'Round

You know those things that you swore you'd never do?  Like maybe you swore that you'd never take a job you didn't love (it's ok: we know how that worked out and we don't judge).  Or maybe you pinky-swore you'd never wear Ugg boots in summer and then one day you found yourself trudging through the July heat in shapeless footwear wondering how everything went so very wrong (ok, there we judge, but come on, kiddo, you saw that coming).  It's like there's a giant magnet of irony drawing us towards the very things that will make liars out of us.

You know what I swore I'd never do?  I swore I'd never start a blog.  Blogs require that you have things to say that you think other people will find funny, or entertaining, or informative, or worth five minutes of valuable procrastination time.  Let me warn you right now, right up front: I am fairly certain I will fail to be any of those things quite regularly.  I fully expect this blog to make unexpected left turns across the county line into What the Hell Is She On About Now.  There will be frequent stops in What, This Again? and the occasional sojourn into I'm Not Sure That Was English.  No illusions here.

Mostly, I'll write about knitting, because that's what keeps me from going the rest of the way round the bend, or reading, because that's what I do for a living.  I can't promise to stick solely to those subjects, but that's the plan as I see it.

I swear.

  1. Hi,
    I'm sorry to be leaving this message on your blog, but I didn't see (quickly) you email address.
    Thanks for your suggestion on my blog re: pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. They sound amazing! And, very seasonally appropriate. You can send me the recipe, if you don't mind - but only if it's already online. I don't want you going through the trouble of typing it all up for me!
    Thanks again!

    ps: I love your label for this post: "awkward beginnings". I feel the same way about the first few (well... the first year's worth) of posts on my blog!
