The blog we're reviewing this Friday was brought to our attention by the author herself. Helen emailed us to say: I am an indie dyer and live in the north west Higlands of Scotland. I've had my blog up and running for about 18 months now, and thoroughly enjoy writing it.
Of course, we were intrigued already, but Helen continued: I originally started it up to keep my family up to date with everything we're up to, but it's grown a bit since it started. I tend to talk about life in the Highlands, some of my knitting projects, and a little bit about the dyeing side of my life.
That all sounds rather good, so we headed over to DropOne to have a look. Our first unexpected discovery was that we all want to move to where Helen lives, because it is gorgeous. Although we're not likely to relocate Simply Knitting Towers any time soon, we can get a regular fix and watch the changing seasons through Helen's photographs.
Our second discovery was that Helen is the brains (and hands) behind Ripples Hand Dyed Yarns and produces a rather lovely set of sock and DK weight yarns.
After that, we stopped counting things we like about Helen's blog, and dived in. As you browse backwards through her writing (such is the nature of blogs) do look out for an imposter among the ducks on the loch and have a look at how she and her husband put her dyeing studio together.
Read a great blog? Write a great blog? Tell us what it is and why you like it, and you might see it here next Friday.
