There’s a challenge going around the “blogosphere” this month, and that is to write something each day all month long. That’s 31 blog posts (though I’ll have a few more since I have some reviews this month that will be sprinkled in). There are a few different bloggers hosting different versions of the challenge, and the one I chose to participate in is to write a little bit each day about a single topic. I’ve chosen to focus on my favorite hobby: knitting.
I’ll cover all sorts of topics related to the subject. Here’s my basic road map for the series:
10/2: Reading a yarn label
10/3: Different weights of yarn
10/4: Different fibers of yarn
10/5: My favorite knitting needles
10/6: The difference between straight needles, circular needles, and double pointed needles
10/7: What is an “interchangeable needle set”?
10/8: Buying yarn for a single project
10/9: Buying yarn “just because”
10/10: The “yarn stash” and how to store it
10/11: Where to buy yarn
10/12: Where to learn to knit

10/27: Knitting things that aren’t clothes: dish scrubbies

10/29: How to dye yarn with food safe “ingredients” in your kitchen
10/30: My experience with food-coloring dyeing
