Some may say that I spend too much time on the web, but the gems of information and inspiration I find there – WOW! So I thought I’d take a few moments to highlight some of my favorite knitting blogs.* Some are written by “famous” knitters/designers; others are by regular stitchers like you and me who are exploring the possibilities with yarn.
*What’s a blog? It’s a web-log (like a journal). Each entry is called a “post.” What you’re reading right now is a post on the Fine Needle blog (we call it news). You can “subscribe” to a blog through a reader (like Google Reader) or sometimes via e-mail.
Brooklyn Tweed
Not only will you find exquisite knitting from designer Jared Flood, but his photographs are to die for.
Do You Mind If I Knit
A recent find, on my part. Delightful knitting blog of a young woman from the British Isles who is a children’s book illustrator by profession. Her blog is charming and witty.
French Press Knits
Designer of the famed French Press Felted Slippers. There is currently lots of “wee knitting” as the author is expecting her first child.
Knitting Knoobie
Susie lives in New York. She loves to knit. And visit yarn shops. And knit socks.
Mason-Dixon Knitting
The women behind the books have a blog. There’s lots of show and tell: knitting, quilting, Olive the dog, hysterical videos, and more.
Yarn Harlot
Stephanie Pearl-McPhee writes about knitting. Author of several knitting humor books (with tips on knitting), she’s sure to entertain and awe with her prolific knitting.
