The Thrifty Knitter – knitting blog review

There's a lot going on at The Thrifty Knitter blog so regular readers will come back to a carousel of interesting happenings – you might have to wait a while to find out what's happening with your favourite project, but it'll surely come round again eventually.

Blogger Nikol Lohr is also the author of Naughty Needles: Sexy, Saucy Knits for the Bedroom and Beyond and the webzine Disgruntled Housewife so she's clearly a woman who knows how to multitask.

The Thrifty Knitter is home to posts about well, knitting. Look out for stories about her finished – or frogged – objects (she estimates that she knits enough stitches for 1.75 sweaters for every one she finishes), her sheep and chickens, her newly created patterns and a year-long systematic project to Be More Organized – a goal we can certainly sympathize with!

She also posts about the Building Scarf, a knitting project to bring a chill to even the stoutest of hearts: a garter stitch scarf several hundred feet long. Luckily, she's roping other knitters in to help but its nonetheless a daunting task and we'll be cheering it on to the finish line – it goes on display in 2012.

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.
