So I had a few hours free today whilst travelling, and I thought this would be the perfect time to blog about my birthday week. So I packed the laptop and camera, sat down to start typing and realised I had left the USB cable at home. At first I thought about just writing the post without photos, but then I got thinking about the whole blog process.

When I started this blog, it was to post about my hobby, writing about my works in progress or finished objects. As I got more into the knitting community, I started “flashing my stash” or posting about swaps, as I got more into knitting, I could write about other aspects of the community, exhibitions and meet ups.

I got into a process for blogging. Planing a photo session, then taking photo, editing the pictures, uploading the photos and then finally writing the post.  For me the format worked and I stuck with it for the past few years.

However, it is obviously not working now… I don’t seem to have enough time to post. Also, I am not sure this blog is the best medium to post about knitting anymore. For me, I prefer to post my finished objects on Ravelry. In my opinion their layout works best of displaying finished items and any notes. I like having database of knowledge there and contributing towards it.

As I am re-reading this it seems to be a final post or “a Ravelry has taken over from blogging” post. Which it isn’t meant to be… I just think it is time for me to change this blog! I still want it to me mainly a knitting blog however, I guess it is time to diversify a little. 

I would make this blog a bit more interactive, add some polls, or even some competitions. So I am going to start the interacting by asking about your blog. What is your writing process like? How often do you post? Do you think you post enough? Do you follow a structure, like WIP Wednesday or FO Friday? Let me know?
