So I've never blogged before, but thought that it might be fun. I'm a lawyer, who has not had much luck in this economy with the whole finding a job thing. So I decided to do what I do best, and go back to school. I'm now in the MSIS program at UAlbany, working towards being a librarian.
I say my life is rather cliche because I think people always imagine librarians as being women with glasses, wearing heeled oxfords, always reading a book or knitting or something of that sort, who then go home to a house full of cats. That's pretty much my life, except in addition to the four cats I go home to at the end of every day, I also go home to my husband, Brian.
So this entire blog is starting out as my final project for my Reference class, which was to create a pathfinder. I had decided to do mine on resources for beginning knitters. I was inspired to pick this topic when I recently went crazy trying to figure out how to knit entrelac and found myself doing random Google searches, reading several different websites, and watching YouTube videos. It was frustrating because I had issues finding videos that demonstrated what I needed to know in clear way (because as any knitter knows, there is more than one way to do almost everything). I found myself wishing that someone would just poke me and say "Here's where you can find what you need." So that's what this pathfinder is hopefully going to do for some other people.
So that's how this blog got started. We'll see where it goes from here. :)
