I am not a professional blogger. When I started this blog I wasn’t really sure what my posts would be about, or how often I would post, or how the posts would fit together. The name of my blog, Knitting a Life, seemed like a good idea at the time; among other things, I am a knitter, and I had a hard time imagining that any blog I authored wouldn’t have some knitting in it somewhere.
To tell you the truth, once I came up with a title for this blog I didn’t worry about it much. Until a friend told me that he didn’t read my blog because it was about knitting.
That stopped me. I tried to explain to him that my blog is NOT about knitting, but he was convinced that it was and that he would never read it as a result.
Of course, knowing that one person isn’t reading my blog won’t make me stop writing it. If I worried a lot about who was reading these posts I would do things a lot differently than I do. My friend’s comment did make me think about what I mean by “Knitting a Life.” Not necessarily what I meant when I started this project, but what it has come to mean over the few months I have been working on it.
What is this blog about? One way to answer that is to look at what I post about. Knitting, sometimes, but also food and family,
travel and teaching, places and passions.
Is this blog about knitting? I guess some people would say that, since there have been posts about my knitting projects and about yarn. I don’t think of it that way, though; I think this blog is about knitting a life, mine.

My foodblog is called “SOoooooUP” but not necessary featuring soup all the time. Name that is not really related to what you feature in your blog does not matter
Funny how each person brings their own definitions with them regardless of the words being read. The title of your life is, to me, a perfect definition of all the different threads of our lives. Using the analogy of knitting is great because that’s an important part of what you do, and it frames your thinking about the pieces of your life. I would ask your friend whether they don’t read your blog because it involves knitting, or because they just don’t find it catches their attention.
For myself, I find your blog insightful and interesting. And I want to know how you post your photos within a blog posting!
