You could do features of different favorites that you have--like blogs, indy yarn dyers, patterns that you made lots of, yarn stores, podcasts, books, etc. Kind of like a review or critique, but emphasizing the positive and why you love it. You could run re-runs of projects from long ago and post about making them, but then give a re-cap of their life since you made them. Like how it held up, how it was used or not, etc. Considering all of my ideas, you would think I could update my blog more often! :)<BR/><BR/>For blogs I love the big name ones like Yarn Harlot, Mason Dixon, Knit and Tonic, Susan B Anderson, Betz White. But there are lots of others too that I read all the time One More Row, Nutmeg Knitter, Sheep in the City, Saratoga Knitting.knittingknirvanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383985032723786341noreply@blogger.com
