What a wonderful list! Thanks for sharing. I found several that I will be checking out.
I’m not sure if it fits the criteria for this list, but FruityKniting.com is very good. They share their love for knitting and share triumphs as well challenges they may have encountered with their projects. Also they interview other artists such as knitters, designers, dyers, and even wool producers. This blog is a joint effort of Andrew and Andrea, a husband and wife team .
Thanks so much for sharing this Eldonna. We will certainly check out Andrea and Andrew’s knitting blog. So glad you’ve found several knitting blogs to read from our list. We are so thankful there are so many passionate knitters out there. Cheers Jodie 🙂
Hi I came to this amazing list via Karen Templer and her wonderful Fringe Association blog. I can’t wait to get lost in some of these new-to-me blogs, thanks. Others I love and wholeheartedly recommend are: cozymadethings.blogspot.com paper-tiger.net thecraftsessions.com knitigatingcircumstances.com and lenealve.blogspot.com

Would love to see Clara Parkes’ Knitters Review, which does indispensable reviews of yarn and tools, and Indie Untangled, which is a great resource for discovering and learning more about indie dyers.

Just wanted to drop by and say THANK YOU! Knowing readers comments are read and acted on is always a good thing. You’ve definitely gained a new follower in me and over time I’ll be checking out lots of the blogs on your list. Much appreciated.
Thanks again Shelly for letting us know about GG Made it. And if you come across any one in the future, make sure you come back and let me know. Cheers Jodie 🙂
Thank you for such a fabulous list and for including me. I wanted to tell you about Yardsofhappiness.com. The owner is Dana also known as DWJ! Why I think her blog is worthy is because her sweater knitting game is second to none. She makes me feel like I can make beautiful sweaters like she does.
Hi Gaye. We are so glad that some of your lovely readers told us about you. Looking through your blog, I can’t believe we missed you!! We will definitely check out Dana at Yards Of Happiness. So good to know that knitting bloggers find inspiration in each other. Thank you. Jodie 🙂

I’d like to humbly submit my own, if I can- knitasha dot net I’m new to blogging, but not to knitting. I love trying new techniques in both knitting and crochet, and exploring LYS all around the Midwest.
Hi Natasha. Thanks for sharing your knitting blog and to make this list even better. Cheers Jodie
A special favourite of mine: zigozago, and on facebook, zigozago artisan wool. Gorgeous wool sales, beautiful projects and delightful anecdotes by and for real life mums and crafters.
Thanks for sharing Fiona. 🙂
Love this!
I have attended a knitting weekend in an amazing venue last year and going back this 2019 too. For anyone who fancies learning new skills from professional crafters and knitters, they’re called Les Soeurs Anglaises and this is their website : https://www.lessoeursanglaises.com/
They regularly blog about their new creations and workshops and send a very informative and entertaining newsletter.
Amazing work putting this list together – bravo for highlighting so many inspiring knitters from around the world! I would ask to also consider adding Petra Breakstone as a knit designer. I met her a few years ago and have enjoyed making several of her designs. https://www.instagram.com/petrabreakstone/
Hi Marni. Thanks so much for your kind words and for your suggestion to make this list even better! I will be sure to take a look at Petra’s site. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Hi Jodie check out Brooklyn Boy Knits. He is awesome.
Hi Lisa. Thanks so much for sharing your favorite blogger. I’m off to find Brooklyn Boy Knits and take a look. Cheers Jodie
