Not My Knitting, Not My Writing
I sat down to write a post and realized that I had very little new to say. The Voyager Lace Stole grows longer and the Eyelet Socks grow sockier. I have a tentative LYS date with The Pirate Hooker this weekend, but until then, the Moc-A-Socs are just paper.
So what to write about?
How about a blog review? There are tons of good blogs (knitting or otherwise) out there that don’t get much traffic, so why don’t I point out a few that I think are especially wonderful? One note: these are blogs with which I have no personal affiliation–I do not know the bloggers in real life, nor do I communicate with them online in any frequent or meaningful way. No nepotism here.
The Half-Assed Knit Blog: Not half-assed at all. Funny, funny, funny. Should come with a warning: Do not attempt to read while drinking any liquids. You’ll spill. My only complaint is that her pictures (of which there are plenty) are hyperlinked, and I always accidentally click away from her page.
Crafting Chaos: Very straightforward, simple blog with a clean layout. Lots of WIP pictures so you can see the progress she makes. Also, she has a dog! And a cat.
La Fuji Mama: One of my new favorites. She is an American who lives in Japan and writes a lot about Japanese culture and food. Very interesting and fresh. Not a lot about knitting though, despite her header.
Heidi’s Knitbits: Another fun knitting blog. Lots of pictures with lots and lots of FOs. After reading her blog, everything does look a little orangey for a while though.
Twisted Knitster: How about a blog from a dude? Here’s a guy who knits and spins. But sorry gals, there’s a Mrs. Twisted. Not a lot of pictures but for low bandwidth readers, that’s kinda nice sometimes, huh?
The Panopticon: Another blogger with XY chromosomes. This is the best blog you’re not reading. Some of his posts have made me laugh still my tummy begged for mercy, but I kept reading anyway. If you’ve heard of the 1,000 Knitters project, this blogger, Franklin, is the photographer.
i eat dirt: This blog has nothing to do with knitting, but she’s a teacher in Japan. I just discovered this blog yesterday so I’m still reading through old posts, but they’ve been very interesting so far. It’s fascinating to read about someone who has my job in another country. Check her out.

What a wonderful surprise to see someone with a positive review of my blog. You’re right about the lack of pictures lately, it wasn’t too long ago that I would get comments because I had so many pictures on the blog. I was just telling someone last night that I’ve been a little too wordy and need more picture content. I appreciate the mention and please feel welcome to comment or contact me anytime.
Warmest Regards,
Jerry
Hey thanks for the shout out!
Thanks for the review! You’re right, zero knitting content lately! I’ve been so busy that I have done much. I’m going to be working on that though. 🙂
yeah! thanks from me too! <3
Thank you so much for the shout out! Always nice when other bloggers link to your blog. And I’m done with the orange/red/pink, by the way! 🙂
