CellarDoor: not just about wine anymore (still)

Hello everyone. I’m back! Shocking, I know, but I finally managed to drag myself out of blog hibernation.

Anyone who stopped here over the past two months will know that CellarDoor has been on a bit of a hiatus. It was unplanned. It just kind of happened. Sorry ‘bout that.

Truth be told, I became a little weary of blogging, and simply needed a break; this weariness was directly correlated to a change in my drinking habits. (Funny enough, when I don’t drink booze, I’m not that motivated to write about it either.)

For some time now I’ve toyed with the idea of hijacking this self-styled wine blog and turning it into a part wine, part knitting blog.

Yes, you read that correctly: knitting. I am a knitter. I am intensely proud of this fact, and it has come to occupy an as intrinsic a part of my life and identity as wine has.

I realize that on the surface, wine and knitting don’t seem to go together. (To the non-knitters, that is – my fellow knitters are derisively spit-taking into their drinks right now.) However, I figure if there’s a wine and yarn bar out there in the world, there can damn well be a wine and yarn blog too.

So, I hereby declare that henceforth this blog shall be a venue for both of my life’s non-human passions. If anything, you’ll get to see a parade of finely crafted objects and tasty beverages.

let the knitterly parade begin!

Oh, and I’m not changing the name. Cellars aren’t just for storing wine, you know – any manner of wonderful things can be kept down there. Like pickles. And old Christmas decorations. And a magnificent stash of yarn.

(In the interest of full disclosure, way back when I first started this blog I did a couple knitting posts before I decided a should streamline it into a full-time booze blog. You can read those articles here and here, if you like.)
