Yarnal Knowlege

It turns out that entering the blogosphere is surprisingly easy, even for a first timer like myself. You can sign up on a site, get some advertising on there and even begin with a basic colour scheme within minutes. It's simple to use someone else's layout and even easier to post.

The first challenge is coming up with a title and an original one seems almost impossible. Should you go for short and snappy or something sophisticated; maybe with a double meaning? Are you going to appeal to readers with a pun or will they prefer a clever reference? Can you think of anything, anything at all that hasn't been used several times already? It's a bit of a toughy and it hits you early on.

I've seen a few catchy knitting names, like Stitch n Bitch or Yarn Harlot and things like Stash seem to be too generic. I thought it'd be cool to take inspiration from elsewhere and came up with
Much Ado About Knitting and The Whole Nine Yarns, but both turned out to be shops already. It appears that with six billion people on the planet, a rising number of which are knitters, it's going to take some effort to be original.

So for now, I have gone high-brow with Dude, Where's My Yarn? and we'll have to see what future that will bring.

Cheers,
