Inspiring Fiber Arts Blogs for Fiber Arts Friday

I've been discovering some fiber arts blogs that are worth a look if you need inspiration to pick up those needles and get creative.

Dödergök is a Swedish blog hosted by a funky gal who is an amazing knitter. Feast your eyes on these socks!

Her blog is full of wondeful fiber art pieces. Use your browser's translator to read the blog in English. If you use Internet Explorer, use Microsoft Translator which you can access in Internet Explorer.

Or, how about the British blog Prick Your Finger which features out of the box ecletic works from a variety of fiber artists. This is a knitted wolf detective! The pattern comes in episodes.

For you spinners out there, take a look at Prick Your Finger's post Ai's Locks to see hair spun with yarn.

Dances With Wool is a Finnish blog written in English. Lene hosts this blog. Her mittens put any I have knit to shame!

I need to spend less time reading about knitting and spend more time doing knitting. Of course, I'll make an exception for Fiber Arts Friday at Wonder Why Gal's.

Happy Inspirations!

Wool-less Wednesday: Fiber Art Blogs

Okay, technically I'm still blogging about wool. But, I swear wool has not touched my hands in the creation of this post! I've been discovering some interesting fiber blogs this past week. A couple of my new faves are these blogs.

The Student Knitter is an upbeat blog with a nice mix of topics including of course knitting. Blogs with lots of the author's own work for all to see are the ones I look to visit. The Student Knitter's compendium of finished projects are here. Great ideas for your needles!




A humorous blog is Knit with Snot for You. I enjoy blogs that make me giggle. Why does this blog have such an "unusual" name? You can find out at this funny posting. Does it make you giggle?

Happy fiber blog reading!
