The Crisis of a Blog

For the past few weeks I have been having a major blogging crisis. I've been trying to keep a version of a knitting blog ever since high school and every time I get started good, I feel like I have to start a brand new and better blog. Normally, this would be just fine and I would be off blogging for a year or so about knitting or about knitting and different topics like fashion or food or fitness. But, since I know more about knitting than anything else, I always feel like I can't do a fashion related blog justice. And as much as I like talking about food, I just can't create recipes off the top of my head and then share them with the world. I really admire the people who can, but I just can't do that.

This time is a little bit different because I realize that if I want to keep blogging, I should really just focus down and just talk about knitting. There is so much to talk about in the world of knitting and I don't have anybody to talk about the specific things that I want to talk to them about. Even though my mom does knit (and she is the only other family member that does), she doesn't really care what it takes to get the perfect fit on the toe of a sock. Or figuring out how to do different stitch patterns and then translate that to different projects. Or even to compare yarn stashes or different types of sock yarn. None of my friends knit at all and my super-patient fiancé just doesn't get my fascination and satisfaction with yarn and knitting (but he does appreciate the socks I knit for him).

That is all fine and dandy. In fact, I was having some suspicions over that myself when I realized that over 90% of my posts were about knitting instead of the other topics I was trying to write about. But the biggest problem right now is that I have one post about my best friend's wedding that I don't want to lose. I would love to move that over on this blog, but since it is almost a year old (and will be their one year anniversary in May), I'm not quite sure how to move it over and still have it make sense.

I know that if any of you stumble across this little blog that you would probably expect talk about knitting and this is not about knitting. The reason why I am writing this is to get it out in the open and hopefully clear up some things for me. If it ends up helping someone else by showing them that we are all human behind our computer screens then that is wonderful. If not, thank you for giving me a little time to vent and clear the air while I decide what to do with this little blog.
