Make my day

Fleegle made my day (thank you!) and I must pass on the You Make My Day award to ten other bloggers who bring me happiness and inspiration.

This is by no means a comprehensive list; I had a really hard time keeping it down to ten. So, strictly in alphabetical order:

Åbent Værksted, for the inspiring design in progress and tantalizing color experiments.

Cornflower, for her thoughtful book reviews, her yummy recipes and beautiful photographs.

Dances with Wool, for a glimpse in a life so different from mine (up in the Arctic circle) and yet so close in our love for knitting and beautiful yarns and colors. By the way, have you seen her article on Piecework?

Fleegle, because she cracks me up. Oh yeah, the nonpareil lace knitting, too, of course, and the helpful tutorials…

Flor de papel, for her delicate, light-hearted illustrations that always bring a smile to my face.

Garn Boet, for her knitting (who else knits Fair Isle cardis for teddy bears?), more about life in Finland and now also a handsome and goofy Afghan hound puppy.

Knit Buddies, for — where do I start? — their knitting, spinning, book reviews, Habu fetish…

Med Pinner, for the beautiful mittens, the photographs and book reviews.

Poppalina, for her Mosaic Mondays, her humor, her gravity, her beautiful stitchery (whatever happened to those gorgeous silver embroideries?).

The Nerd and the Needle, for her knitting and sewing and insights into life in Norway: the Krumkaker, the Selbu Knitting Museum, the old sewing tools…

So many blogs, so little time…

Thank you all for brightening my days with your blogs!
