I’ve been putting off this post for a couple of hours now. Since I’ve arrived home from vacation I’ve done all sorts of things; unpacked, started some laundry, opened the mail, replied to comments on Instagram/twitter/Facebook, and given my kitty some loving. Not necessarily in that order. One thing I haven’t done is write a blog post which I promised myself I would do soon after I got home. So here goes…
I’ve been blogging here for almost three years. It has been fun and I have not regretted a single moment of it. But, I’ve gone from a naïve fifteen-year-old to a slightly-less naïve eighteen-year-old. I no longer have dreams of becoming a famous knitwear designer (Now, that’s an oxymoron), I’ve found that knitting for the sake of knitting is what works for me. No pressure, no deadlines (except for December 25th, that one always sneaks up on me.), just me, my fiber and a pair of sticks.
I’ve grown up and, sadly, I’ve outgrown this blog. I love it to pieces but it isn’t me as much any more. I have no need, no desire, to be Cleo Lititz anymore (Part of the deal I made with my mother when starting my blog was that I’d have a pseudonym). I still love knitting and blogging but, I need more room to grow. I am going off to college in the fall and with that fresh start in mind I decided to make another one. I am in the process of starting a new blog. It’s a big leap of faith that is somewhat scary, I’ve worked hard here and I’m fond of all of this, but it’s time.
I would love to see some familiar faces over in the new space. It would mean a lot to me if you would stop by and say hello. I don’t have any post up just yet but there is the about page.
Thank you all for being here and reading my ramblings. Especially to those of you who reached out and liked and/or commented and let me know I wasn’t blogging into the void. I love all of you and hope you’ll continue to follow me in my journey.
For the last time, Cleo Lititz

Will miss your blog but i’m following your new one. Good luck at college x
Thanks! I’m pretty excited for it.
Hey hows your weather scarf going?
It’s coming. I have to get some yellow yarn and I’ll be knitting on it again. It surprises me that I don’t have any yellow yarn in my stash…
I didnt either, just a pale banana yellow. Do you do it every day? I found I left it for days and then caught up in one big sesh
I meant to add the previous day’s everyday. But, I find that I get behind and add them all at once.
It wasn’t just me then haha. Well I look forward to seeing it 🙂
Thanks! It’s getting pretty long.
I’ll hop over to the new one, and look forward to seeing what you write about going forward. Glad the cat got some loving!
First thing we do when get in the door after a trip is cuddle the cat. She comes running. 🙂
We have one like that, one which hides whenever anyone walks in the door and one which really is glad to see us, but not if it interrupts her nap, which is 23 hours long. Unless there is a meal involved. 🙂 But eventually, they all show up for kitty loving.
They do don’t they? 🐈
🙂
