Captain's Log 1.1.1

After many years of trying to convince myself that I'm not the "kind of person" who would have a blog, I've come to the conclusion that I am. Actually, I've come to understand that it really isn't about being or not being the kind of person who would blog. It's about being the kind of person who has something to say and finding the way to say it. Sounds rather obvious, but sometimes obvious is the last thing we think about.

There are a lot of things that I could tell you about myself, but I'll start with the title of my blog. This isn't really a blog about knitting (sorry, guys). But being a fellow knitter myself, I can promise that every once and a while, I'll post some (a whole bunch, in fact) of the projects I'm working on. I have a whole range of WIPs vying for my attention.

I did, however, take the name from a popular saying: "The Black Hole of Knitting". It refers to that stage in the knitting process where you knit and knit and, somehow, you never advance. To put it lightly, the part that sucks. But, since nothing lasts forever, at some point you're out of the black hole and you're crossing the finish line. When I first read about it, I thought that it was a nifty metaphor for life. At least that's how I feel some of the time (or most of the time, depending on what day of the week you find me in).

On that note, I can't promise you that it will all be sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes I'll whine and moan about how unfair life is. Sometimes I'll profess to be the only sane person on the planet. Sometimes I will jump for joy. And other times I'll confess that I have no idea what I'm talking about.

In a nutshell that's what this blog is about. Hope you'll come by and visit.
