Splendor – knitting blog review

Splendor, knitting blog written by two men who knit,
screengrab

Splendor is a knitting blog written by two men who knit and happen to live in New York City, USA. While life in the Big Apple is always fascinating for those of us living in a small city like Bath, it's the knits which really make this blog stand out.

David Castillo and Homero Luna both started knitting because they wanted to wear something they couldn't find in the shops – and then started altering and designing patterns when they wanted to knit something they couldn't find.

The quirky original designs rub shoulders with lovely from-a-pattern knits, so the archives are a great place to browse if you're looking for fun and wearable men's knits.

Both David and Homero update the blog, and as their writing styles are quite similar it can be a little confusing as projects develop but it's easy to check the bottom of a post to find out who wrote it.

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.
