Do I have to change my name?
Will it get me far?
Should I lose some weight?
Am I gonna be a star? - Madonna, American Life

Say My Name, Say My Name….
Before starting my blog (June, 03), I took what I thought was great care to think up the perfect name. A name that represented knitting, as well as elements of my personality (ex: a thus far incurable compulsion to play on words and being a pig collector). Thus, a pig was born. A very special pig. ::Aw, man. Now I’m getting all kerplunk.::

But while linking around the webring this week, I noticed quite a few cleverly named Purl-esque blogs out there, including another Purly with a tail that's curly. And suddenly, the name that once felt so special now seems so....so...common. Usual. Bit. ::And no, I’m not casting any purls of blame. In fact, I'm casting no purls beyond my own front mudpile.::

I now find myself in the throes of a Blog Identity Crisis.

Suddenly I'm thinkin' baby needs a new name. Something shiny and fresh and totally unique. So far I've come up with the following ideas:

Queer Flows KnitPad
Windy Knitting
KnitChick
Maison Dickies
At The End of My Knits
The Knitting Cur Dungeon
Fluffier

Whatcha think?*

Okay, I'm being a smartass. But I am seriously thinking of making a change. Right now I'm not sure if it's going to be a name change, new skin, boob job, or an entire makeover. Regardless, I won't be making any impulsive decisions (the kind I'm wont to want)and may soon seek help and feedback from all y'all.

In the meantime, I hereby confess to coveting the handles on these cutting-edge newbies:
Catchers Knit
Domestic Pussy
PKnitty


Have you Hugged Your Ringmaster Today?
While at the Knitbloggers home page, I was amazed to see we’re up to 479 members. That’s nearly 500 peeps!

Dayng.

That being said, I imagine some days Julie feels like she's jumped into a burning ring of fire. I think we should buy that girl a drink.
Or yarn.
Or a Mercedes Benz, Lord.

Seriously.
