a simple yarn

I suppose that since the calendar still reads January, I can still do ‘new year’ types of things. And so with a new year come new perspectives…

New Year = New Blog Subscriptions on Bloglines

I’ve added 5 new blogs to my regular reading. More or less some of the ‘heavy hitters’ in the knitting blog subculture. I gotta be careful here because not so long ago I had to disconnect from the sheer volume of creativity that bombards my easily overwhelmed senses. But, slowly….carefully….I want to plug into some perspectives that are more innovative, more imaginative and more inspired than my own myopic view. And the alphabetical listing of this year’s winners are…(oh wait, isn’t the proper way to say it…’and the award goes to’…?)

b r o o k l y n t w e e d
cuz I think it’s good to get a guy’s perspective and frankly, I like tweed. So even though he didn’t show at our Dublin knitting group while on holiday in Ireland, I’ll give him a go. I’m not one to hold grudges…

Coloursknits
cuz Holly reminded me of what a great knitter she is and I need some stimulation to improve myself.

Fig and Plum
cuz I was drawn to ‘the look’ of the blog and I think it will be a good source for things other than knitting.

My Fashionable Life
cuz even in a simple life, fashionable is good.

See Eunny Knit!
cuz I love to see variations on a theme.

Right, so I’m all subscribed and, with arms opened wide, am awaiting the great wave of stimulus to wash over me. Think my expectations are a wee bit high?
