What’s in a name?

When I first started my blog, I was uninspired, a bit bored and didn’t know what to call it. Hence “Nancy’s Knitting Adventures”. I thought “Knitting with Nancy” was a bit too smarmy and copied “Sewing with Nancy” too much. Since starting the blog, I have thought often about what type of name would be good. I’m not cool enough to pull off a name like crafty bitch, or inventive enough to be so adamant about string or nothing (this is one of my all time favorite blogs. Great details, technical info, and pictures). A new friend who would always Rather be Knitting, took the words right out of my mouth - but alas, that cool phrase is already taken by her!
I played around with the idea of some alliteration: Nancy’s Knitting Noodles, or Nancy Knits Noodles or Nancy’s Knitting Kneedles, but it seemed kind of corny and rather contrived.
So, I am up for a name change, and want it to be a bit cool, a bit of play on words maybe, and something to distinguish myself among the many knitting-bloggers out there. How ’bout we have a small vote, and you, the kind reader, can help me out?
Some finalists:
* The Impatient Knitter
* Knitting Pathways
* The Fiber Smith
* Geeky Knitting
Suggestions? Votes?
More pictures of hardangervidda soon! I’ve started the neck steek, am being daring and not casting off my neck edge, but doing decreases instead to make it smoother. I am carrying the yarn today for Bjerk’s sample, but of course had no time to get to it. I’ve been working on child #1’s sock, and will be done with the heel flap soon. I might need to try it on her or do a measurement of her foot to make sure it will fit, and that requires her in a good mood.

I like Persevering knitter, too. After all of the problems you had getting Hardangervidda going, I think Joann is right on target.
