Hello there !
Welcome post, a bit about what I want this blog to be.
As time passed, I often wondered what would be the best way to talk about things that are dear to me. I'm really not the kind of person to openly talk about things to draw attention. I do not like attention. I much prefer to be hidden behind a drum when playing with a band than being the very chatty guitar player if you see what I mean.
At the same time, I'd like to share what I am enamored with. I have an Instagram (maybe that's how you've found me) and while I'm happy to be able to share things there, I do not feel at home. And I'm also not very fond of how it works, if I'm honest.
I've thought about doing a video podcast but the idea of being in front of a camera talking to nobody seems like a very strange exercise to me.
Also, I don't want my face to be the thing that people look at, I much prefer that people look at what I'm making.
So, what can you expect of this space?
Me being nerdy about knitting mostly. Whether it's my thoughts on certain designs, yarns, modifications that I've made to patterns, my designs, the list goes on.
I do not want this space to be very defined. I very much like tidyness, but I'm more of a chaotic thinker. (And I'm very prone to digression. I'll try to keep things nice and tidy and to avoid phrases that are 10 lines long as much as I can (with parentheses in parentheses) even though I can't make any promises).
A bit about me, maybe?
I've knit since a decade maybe, but the craft wasn't that attractive to me because I couldn't imagine myself stay still to knit. It all changed when I fell ill and I had to limit my activities.
In a way, I'm glad. Even though I would've much prefered not to fell and still be ill, of course.
In my previous life -or that's what I like to call it- I was an architect.
I also like to draw, listening and making music, reading, and everything related to images really. Cinema, painting... you name it. So you might see things that are related to these domains. I also like video games and plants but I'm not sure how it could fit in here?
A note : I can't be sure to have the spoons to post often. But I like the idea to have this space so that I can, when I'm able to :).
Thank you very much for being here and I hope to see you soon!
