Welcome!

What’s this, another knitting blog?

Well, yes and no. (Okay, if we’re being honest: yes, mostly.) There will definitely be knitting as I show off my current projects and upcoming designs, but you’ll also be seeing my dogs, some plants, house projects, and other random bits of my life. I might talk about music or show photos from back home. Chances are pretty good there will be thoughts about the world and its depressing state.

I’m still deciding exactly what I want this space to be, and I’m sure it will transform as I go. Perhaps it’s a curse of the chronically indecisive introvert, but I rather like the option of growing organically and without expectations as I learn to fill these pages.

So, why Lakebound Knits?

I grew up on the shores of Lake Superior, so having large bodies of fresh water nearby is very comforting and, as I’ve recently found, necessary for my mental health. While I currently live in southwest Ohio (sorry, but the Ohio River just doesn’t compare!), my heart constantly yearns for life on the big lake and I hope to move back someday soon. In the interim, my heart and soul are lakebound.
