I'm thinking of starting a
I'm thinking of starting a new webring. A webring for Aussie Knitters. I love the webrings, I love being able to surf through them at my leisure, checking in on people, sometimes just clicking on that "Random" button, and seeing who pops up.
So today I got to thinking that there really should be a webring for the Aussie Knitters. I'm not saying that I don't like knitters from other countries, I love all knitters equally! :)
I think I've surfed through most of the Australian blogs at one time or another, but I could be wrong. If they were all in one spot, I could find them all and check in. I could see if there is actually a knitblogger close by!
Aussie knitters, please let me know what you think! You can leave a comment, or email me via the link over there in the sidebar -->
In knitting news, I have been knitting, I really have! However, DH's sweater is very large and very black. Which in blog speak means very boring and bad to photograph! I love the Jo Sharp Silkroad yarn, and I'm more than halfway up the front. I joined up the third ball yesterday, which means I'm a ball further along than I've been with previous attempts :)
I tried to start a scarf today to break up the monotony of the sweater, but two attempts with two different yarns failed to inspire me. The next sock in the six sox knitalong should be out any day, so I think I'll keep the needles free for that. I have some lovely Cherry Tree Hill sock yarn that I recieved in a swap early this year that I think I'll use for that.
Em started her felted friend, and I've promised her that I'll show you all, but I think progress will be extremely slow, so I won't rush the pictures.
Happy Wednesday!

Hi Donna - I think Kid's Knitting is the best! I would want to have it first, then try the teen one. I'm guessing Em is a tween? Say 10-12? The teen one is a bit older, where Kid's spans all ages - even an old person like me likes it! Enjoy!
Posted by: MaryBeth at September 23, 2004 10:40 AMI've only just discovered your blog, and am thoroughly enjoying it.
I think an Aussie Knit Ring would be a fantastic idea, there must be more of us out there than the few I have stumbled across already. I'll be a part of that!
Hi Donna - any chance of including Kiwi's in your ring - making it an Australasian ring? I don't think there's many of us.
Posted by: Sally at September 23, 2004 09:04 PMHi Donna, It's either a case of great minds think alike or fools seldom differ. When we were chatting via email last week - I was going to suggest the exact same thing to you!
And lets include those sheep lovers from across the Tasman - Why not? But I think we should call it the Antipodean Webring. (Please check my spelling on that)

Posted by: pixie at September 24, 2004 02:12 AMI think the ring sounds great. I do have a blogspot blog and a knitting blog there too. i use that mostly as a notebooks of ideas, wools etc so it would force me to do something more with it.

Great idea about the Aussie Knitters ring, I'm not from there but it's nice to have a ring of people to surf their blogs :-) I just want to visit there one day!
