I would like to welcome any new readers, and thank old ones for visiting, we're not that old and we hope to continue to do this as time allows.
If you know of any blogs that should be included please contact us by email or a post on this or the Irish Knitting, Crochet and crafty blogging post. The same goes if you want to be removed. If you are included in our updates please mention if you want to be removed from there too. Please note that neither I or SineadR do this as a full-time job, and allied to that our jobs actually restrict our webtime. We will do our best to get stuff done as soon as possible but that may take a few days or hours. In order to optimise my trawling I have noted the last date posts are visible on sites, I only check every month or so on ones that haven't updated in the last four months. Again, if you know of a dormant blog that has resurrected, feel free to tell me.
You may notice that some posts from Sunday 31st get included, this is if there is time-sensitive information included in them, this does sometimes lead to repeated links from the previous week.

Some Irish Yarny Ravelry Groups - Non-Shops
Many of these groups have information about meetups and shops in the areas. Yes the categories are a little loose and I've probably got things wrong in some instances, feel free to comment and I will correct as I can. I haven't sorted these in any real order and the only Irish group I didn't include are groups that were for an event that has passed. There is a second post coming shortly about shops/businesses
General Groups
One of the biggest ones is the Irish Knitters Group they have some exellent resources there, in the pages tab you will find Irish Knitting Charities; Irish Knitting Groups and Irish Knitting Shops which also has a link to the Google Knit Map of Ireland.It is also home to the infamous End of Aran Knitters Thread that tries to dispel some of the myths about Aran knitting, it also includes some discussion of current Irish Knitting. Please be aware that many of the "local" posters are pretty tired of this thread and will pounce on people who make sweeping statements that include "I didn't have time to read all the posts on the thread but..."
Irish Spinners is for Irish Spinners of all levels
Crocheters in and around Ireland like it says, for Irish and Irish orientated Crocheters.
If you're looking to practice Irish and knit (chniotáil) or Crochet (chróise) in Irish, you might want to try the Gaeilgeoirí ar Ravelry group
