The flower that continues to bloom: Inaugural Post

Inaugural Post

I chose this auspicious day to start a new blog--it's going to be all about knitting and nothing but knitting. I suspected that not everyone here wants to read all that knit and purl stuff, and not everyone there will be interested in my personal life. So if you are one of the interested few, check out my first post.

What's the blog title about?

In 2010 I came across a series of vintage booklets entitled "Amy Vanderbilt Success Program for Women" (copyright 1965) at a thrift store. I didn't look inside any of them: the titles and cover art were funny enough that I had to have them. And it didn't hurt that I got four booklets for 25 cents. My favorite was "How to be a more interesting woman." Who could pass that up?

A few days later I started to look through the book for a laugh, and found myself almost immediately absorbed by the author's wisdom and wit. She made some good points . . . she made a lot of good points. This was something I could use, for who doesn't want to be more interesting? And here in my hands was a surprisingly progressive manual on how to do it.

So, in my newfound quest to be more interesting, I thought I'd use this forum to try things out and reflect on my efforts. In short, I hope to become the kind of person that continues to flower and grow.
