New name for weblog & site
Faithful readers of this weblog (ha-ha, all two of you) have noticed that I have changed the name of both the weblog and the website.
A little explanation is in order...
Whenever I knit at family gatherings, the running joke is "knitting...ah-and knitting...ah-and knitting..." which is from "Pee-Wee Herman's Big Adventure" (which by the way is a really great movie for adults and kids alike, in spite of what you might think about Paul Reubens and his criminal escapades.)
I wanted to call my knitting website "knitting...ah-and... knitting" but you can't really capture the essence of Pee-Wee in mere written words. (I've got a little Pee-Wee off to the right here, and you can click on him to hear him say it. Turn your speaker volume down if you're easily embarrassed.) So I decided to give up on the "knitting...ah-and knitting..." thing altogether until such time that an alternative name came along.
Somehow last night, "knit a bit" came to me and I decided that's good enough. I stuck with the sunflower thing, just because they were so pretty out in the fields this summer. I will probably change the graphic from time to time as the seasons progress.
So there you have it. The birth of knitabit.
