In Which the Pirate Spreads the Word.

The Third Annual Knitting and Crochet Blog Week is only a month away! From April 23rd through 29th, lots and lots of knitters and crocheters from all over the world will post using set daily topics provided by the wonderful Eskimimi. I’ve taken part in the first two Blog Weeks, and not only was it a ton of fun, but I got to read bunches of new blogs that I might never have otherwise found!

The daily topics for this year’s Blog Week will be released on April 2nd, which gives participants time to write their entries in advance and queue them for publication on the proper day. We’ll use specific unique tags for each day’s post (and never type them out anywhere else), which will make it easy to find other people’s daily posts. If you’re curious what the topics are like, you can check out my previous posts at the Blog Week category

This year, there is something new about Blog Week: prizes! Some will be awarded for things like “most creative post” or “most imaginative photography”, but there are lots of prizes that will be randomly awarded simply for taking part in Blog Week. As if the fun of blogging wasn’t enough incentive on its own!

As you can tell, I’m quite excited about Blog Week. I had such a great time doing the first two, and I’m so pleased that the tradition is continuing on. More details, an image of the tags we’ll be using to mark our posts during blog week, and pictures of some of the magnificent prizes that readers have donated can be found here.
