Welcome to A knitted Brow,
I initially conceived the idea of starting a blog 4 months ago when I was laid off from job. My thought was that I would chronicle my unemployment journey and provide information to help others such as my self with their job search. But I also knew that I would eventually get bored. Then I thought I would start a blog about knitting and spinning since I am an avid knitter and have recently taken up spinning my own yarn but again, I thought there wouldn’t be enough to keep me interested. As a former personal trainer, I also have an interest in speaking on issues of health and fitness but there are so many exceptional people blogging on these subjects so much better than I, many of them I will eventually get around to mentioning on my blog and linking to their websites as well.
So where does that leave me today, well, the answer is this blog will be about all the above. My purpose to discuss topics that are important to me in an informative, fun and humorous manner. You can expect posts on surviving unemployment, job hunting, knitting, spinning, fitness, and basically anything that makes me go huh?
I will also be posting photos of my knit and spin projects as well as links to websites and blogs that I find interesting.
What I will not be doing is jounaling my daily life, because really it’s not that interesting. In other words, there will be no, got up, made breakfast……etc. In addition, this blog will not be a bitch fest. Though I may employ sarcasm in order to get my point across especially when discussing certain issues.
Now you are probably wondering where I came up with the name Knitted Brow. Well I have to thank my good friend Amy Helfman for suggesting it. As stated about, there have been many potential focal points for this blog, and the big one was about knitting. I decided on Knitted Brow because it brings in the word KNIT but the phrase encompasses a wide range of associations depending on ones view-point. For me, it brings up the concept of “things that make me go huh!”
So thank you for reading my inaugural post.
feel free to comment
until next time
Michelle
