The name The Uncommon Thread made sense a few years ago, but I don’t love it anymore. Do you remember the period of time when everyone took up knitting?

I never took up knitting. And this site has nothing to do with pretty yarn (although that exists!)

Before that it was Sarah’s Sunbeam, which was sticky-sweet and tacky. You’ll see that oversized watermark on some older photos.

I’m not good at naming websites! But anyway. Someday I’ll change it.

I am not selling anything, I’m just writing things.

I write about misadventures & travel stories with photos of mountains & colorful doors.

I write book reviews.

Learning in public, writing things down…

It’s a little messy.
