To add to my first post: I've succumbed.....

...to the siren call of the knitting blog. I've wanted to start an archive of my knitting projects that includes all the relevant details about the pattern, materials, caveats and lessons learned, and a photo of the finished item. For knitted gifts, a photo will be my only record once they have gone to their new homes. I am also optimistic enough to entertain the notion that I will document inspiring progress from knittting simpler patterns to knitting more complex patterns over time.

Now that Ravelry has come on the scene to provide a wonderfully organized way to document my projects, I am not sure how this blog will be used. I had conceived of it as functioning like the "Project" section on Ravelry, and Ravelry does that sooooooo much better than a blog. Perhaps I can use this space for more detailed descriptions of WIPs than will be appropriate for the Project blurbs. We'll see.

My original blog/domain name choice was Domiknitrix, but that was taken. I cannot adequately express my disappointment about this. Here I thought I was sooo clever to come up with this appropriate moniker for myself and the bloody domain's been registered since 2004. Talk about a day late and a dollar short! I immediately bought her book, of course. I mean, if I am already seething with jealousy, why not go whole hog? She has a fabulous logo, designed by her own hubby no less. Bet she got that for a blow job and a song. Wonder what CM could come up with if I pegged him for awhile......
