Due to a number of unforeseen circumstances, I am woefully underprepared for Blog Week this year. Rather than stress myself out trying to carefully craft a week’s worth of posts with everything else that’s going on, I’m going to enjoy reading everyone else’s posts and leave as many comments as I can. Hopefully there will be new knitting content soon. Meanwhile, check out these...
Oooh! It’s that time of year again – time to get excited for the Sixth Annual Knitting and Crochet Blog Week, hosted by the inestimable Eskimimi! From Eskimimi’s blogpost: What is Knitting and Crochet Blog Week? Once a year knitters and crocheters that blog are invited from all over the world to take part in a community blog week in which they are presented...
Day Seven: Looking Back, Looking Forward If you took part in last year’s Knitting & Crochet Blog Week, look back on your Day Seven post. Did any of the techniques, ideas and hopes for the last 12 months that you wrote about at that time ever make it onto the hook or needles? Did anyone cast on and complete the project researched in last...
Day Six: Views Of Others, Views Of Yourself. Write about another knitter or crocheter that you admire. This could be someone you know or used to know – an aunt that taught you to crochet or the school-teacher that used to run the after-school learn-to-knit club, or someone who you are aware of because of blogging or other areas of social media. Write about...
Day Five: Something A Bit Different It’s the annual challenge to blog in a way different to how you normally blog. You may choose to create a podcast, or vlog, create a wordless post, a beautiful infographic or write in verse. You can post on any topic you like, but be sure to post in a style different from your usual blog presentation. There’s...
Day Four: Conversations Between Workers. Start by writing a few short paragraphs from the point of view of one of the tools you use for your craft. This might be a spinning wheel, crochet hook, pair of scissors or your knitting bag. These first few lines should include a description of this tool’s task and usage. If you are feeling particularly in tune with...
Day Three: Experimental Photography And Image Handling For Bloggers. Every Year Knitting & Crochet Blog Week tries to feature at least one day where photography takes a key role, because it has been proven many times that what captures reader’s attention for the first few seconds to hopefully hold them long enough to invest the time to read your words is your pictures. It...
Day Two: Dating Profile. Write a dating profile for one of your past finished projects. This topic is designed to get bloggers exploring different ways in which they can write descriptive posts of finished knitted and crocheted projects. Many bloggers will be used to writing adjective-rich accounts of finished items along with an account of how the item was made, but it can be...
Day One: A Day In The Life. Describe a day in the life of a project that you have made, or are in the process of making. You can choose to handle this topic in a number of different ways, but a few points to consider might be the following: First-person or third-person account? Will you write from the point of view of the...
