I'm making a resolution, but I'm choosing not to make it a New Year's resolution. Mostly because I never keep New Year's resolutions. Instead, I'm making a 'Right Now' resolution to start craft blogging regularly again.
I say again because I've had a craft blog before. Several actually. I've been online since 1998 and without fail, my craft blogging falls by the wayside during lulls in my crafting. The lulls happen periodically through the year, whether because it's too hot to craft, or the holidays get in the way, or I just don't feel like crafting. Once in awhile it happens when I get discouraged and down on myself and decide that nobody cares to read my blog and my crafting is boring.
This time I'm going to motor through the dull parts and try to post at least semi-regularly. I might post several times a week sometimes, and other times I may not post for a month. What I do know is that I tend to try harder to finish projects and actually catalog them when I have a blog. This is a good thing, since I really like having something I can look back on and remember a sweater, or an afghan or even those boring old dishcloths I gave away a year ago.
I belong to Ravelry, the biggest and best knitting and crochet site out there. They have a really great area on the site to log your projects with all their pertinent information, but I like to write about the process as well. I'll do that here. Beyond knitting and crocheting, I do a lot of other crafty type things. I mostly play with yarn, but if I do any embroidery/cross stitch, beading, painting, etc. I'll post that here as well.
I'm looking forward to having a fresh, new place to talk about some of my favorite things.
Test, test, testidy, test.
