Black Dog Knits



There's not a lot to read – you won't find pages crammed with step by step tutorials or detailed how-tos – but we're regular visitors all the same.

Black Dog Knits is a beautiful blog. The photography is exquisite, making each visit like a carefree wander through an art gallery where all the photos – well, most of them at least – are of yarn and gorgeous hand knits. The few words attached to the images are sparse and evocative, an excellent combination for browsing, tea in hand, when you're looking for a bit of calm.

Nora is also a talented designer, so don't miss her gorgeous free patterns which make far better momentos of your trip through the gallery than a postcard or a catalogue.

Everyone needs a break now and then, so we thought we'd finish off our Fridays by telling you about one of the blogs we've been reading. If you've got any suggestions – your own blog or someone else's – tell us what it is and why you like it, and you might see it here next Friday. Don't forget to put "Blog Review" as the subject, so we can find it easily.

Where's your prize?

Since I started on Simply Knitting six months ago, I've been organising sending out competition and giveaway prizes. I've had a few winners whose house numbers haven't come through, although I have the rest of the address, so if you think you should have received a competition or giveaway (not letters or crossword) prize and it hasn't turned up, please get in touch with me. It could well be sitting under my desk right now. I have your name and most of your address, I just don't have your house number - and the nicely-wrapped parcel I have for you won't reach you without it!
