Irish Knitting and Crochet biased blogs - 2012

This site has been sadly neglected but now that the Nominations for the Irish Blog Awards are open it's time to ensure that you know about the active Knitting and Crochet blogs so you can nominate a few.

We do have plans for the site but they're taking us a while to sort out to our satisfaction and keep our jobs going as well.

This will be an ongoing list starting with those knitters who are on Ravelry, if no language is mentioned it's in English, some of these people are people who blog but not necessarily about knitting.  Any blog with a * contains knitting or crochet content on the first page, or in the tags associated with the blog.  If a blog had this I haven't removed it in the latest edit.

If anyone wants themselves removed from this list please inform us and we will take you off.

a year is the last year postings are on the site and the * is posts within the last 4 months, edited 2nd June 2012  so since February 2012)  This has been heavily edited, any blogs that require invites or say that they're available for sale have been eliminated.  Folks who have moved away from Ireland have also been eliminated.  I've done my best to update links as best I can, secondary links, like etsy shops have not always been checked.
