One of the reasons knitting and blogging go so well together is that while you're reading about someone who lives on the other side of the world or whose life is very different from yours, you're also finding out that they knit the same 'weird' way or love the same patterns.
Little Purl of the Orient is packed with plenty of finished items so it's a brilliant way to brighten up a Friday afternoon. Based in Hong Kong, the author provides a glimpse of sunshine with her photographs of home and abroad – especially welcome for those of us looking out the window to another grey, rainy British winter day.
The kids' knits really stand out on this blog – you'll love the way the author adapts patterns to create two equivalent but different knits for her two daughters and they seem to be happy to show them off, too.
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.
