How it all began...

This blog, I mean, not my knitting. Given all of the time and effort that went into the creation (specifically the titling) of this, I thought that it'd be fitting to start out with a record of the conversation that my friend and I had when trying to think up a good name for this thing.


fleurdiabolique (5:04:23 PM): hey, what's a good name for a knitting blog?

fleurdiabolique (5:04:30 PM): sticks and string is taken. :(

[friend] (5:04:36 PM): hmmm

[friend] (5:04:38 PM): *ponders*

[friend] (5:05:19 PM): Ah, she says. A challenge.

fleurdiabolique (5:05:30 PM): lol

fleurdiabolique (5:05:37 PM): wait, is that a title?

[friend] (5:05:41 PM): no. lol

[friend] (5:05:43 PM): ^_^

fleurdiabolique (5:05:49 PM): lol

fleurdiabolique (5:05:50 PM): jj

fleurdiabolique (5:05:52 PM): *kk

[friend] (5:05:56 PM): I guess it could be, but it wasn't intended as one. :-P

[friend] (5:06:07 PM): hmmmmm....*ponder ponder*

fleurdiabolique (5:06:15 PM): lol

[friend] (5:06:37 PM): Knitting Knews. :-P That would be stupid.

[friend] (5:06:37 PM): lol

[friend] (5:06:43 PM): Unless you want something REALLY straightforward.

fleurdiabolique (5:06:48 PM): lol

fleurdiabolique (5:06:51 PM): i'll take any suggestions

[friend] (5:06:55 PM): hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[friend] (5:07:17 PM): Knitting Gnus! :-P

[friend] (5:07:22 PM): I have NO idea where that came from.

[friend] (5:07:23 PM): lol

[friend] (5:07:26 PM): Please disregard it.

fleurdiabolique (5:07:29 PM): lmao

[friend] (5:07:42 PM): lol

fleurdiabolique (5:07:42 PM): I have to say I'm tempted...

fleurdiabolique (5:07:43 PM): lol

[friend] (5:07:46 PM): hahahaha

fleurdiabolique (5:07:46 PM): but no one will get it

[...]

[friend] (5:08:19 PM): yeaaah...that would be odd. lol

[friend] (5:08:27 PM): I really wasn't serious

[friend] (5:08:44 PM): I mean, unless you found a picture of a knitted stuff gnu. ^_^

[friend] (5:08:48 PM): which would be freaking bizaree.

fleurdiabolique (5:08:57 PM): lol

[friend] (5:16:48 PM): Knitting Knook / Knit Wit(s) / Knit a non [anon?] (not sure of the point of that one, it just sounds okay) / Knit Pick (Knit Picking / Knit Picks) /

[friend] (5:16:55 PM): no GOOD ideas yet. Just those. Lol

[friend] (5:17:03 PM): I kinda like the Knit Wit(s) one

[friend] (5:17:04 PM): lol

[friend] (5:17:29 PM): depends on the point of blog, I guess. Is it to say what your'e working on/what's finished, just knitting themed/other?

[...]

fleurdiabolique (5:17:55 PM): It's more kind of a "this is what I'm up to with knitting right now" thing

fleurdiabolique (5:18:00 PM): because I am addicted to blogging

fleurdiabolique (5:18:01 PM): lol

...so, three hours of conversation and probably twenty or thirty name suggestions later, the title of this blog was henceforth decided to be...

Knitting. Yay!

...yeah. I got kinda tired. ;)

I promise to create a post with actual substance soon.
