So, I went on a trawl and found the text of the first post today. And because I clearly don't know what I'm doing, the only thing I can think of is to publish it again, so that at least it's there somewhere. With apologies to those who already know why I called my blog noknittedknickers, here again is the explanation (complete with labels). Lesson learned.
First, the name...
My New Year's resolution is to make things. To some that might not be a very challenging or specific resolution. If I 'make' beans on toast, does that count? But to be frank, I wanted to be free to bake/sew/knit/crochet/cook/photograph/write myself into being creative, without the pressure of needing to have re-covered the sofa or made a whole new wardrobe by the end of the year.
And I've never been much of a diary keeper but I thought it might be fun to write about my attempts, however pathetic they turn out to be. And maybe even get some tips from people along the way.
So, I was wondering what to call my blog. All the good or obvious names were taken - Look What I Made! and Here's One I made Earlier were favourites. Made by Me seemed factual but a bit lacking. And then I started thinking about what it wasn't going to be about. And I have no aspirations to become a paid-up member of the knit-your-own-knickers brigade. So there you have it -
noknittedknickers.
If you're in any doubt, have a look at these howlers.
Though these rather lovely creations are almost enough to make me change my mind.
(incidentally, if anyone knows a whizzy way to label old posts, I'd be delighted to hear from you...)
