So Many Knitters

Day Three : Write about a knitter whose work (whether because of project choice, photography, styling, scale of projects, stash, etc) you enjoy.

Even though my gut reaction is that it's a cop-out to answer that I don't have one favorite knitter, maybe being a relatively new knitter partially excuses it.  Either way, I do have a favorite knitting web site: Ravelry!  I love how easy Ravelry makes it to see so many different patterns and projects and so many different knitters' takes on the same project. 

Sometimes it's a knitter who clearly has a different style and favorite palette of colors than I do that is the one that makes my favorite version of a pattern, and without something like Ravelry to bring all of the project details together in one place I would likely never even know about their project.  After all, I'm not likely to stumble onto every random knitting blog.

It was Ravelry that introduced me to the famous sock designs by Cookie A. and then later to the totally different sock construction style of Yarnissima.  And I suspect it was probably Ravelry that led a certain Mooncalf to take a peek here, which prompted me to take a peek at her blog as well.  Now I follow her blog regularly and give her kudos for posting much more often than I/we do here.

In the end I browse Ravelry more than I search out and follow knitting blogs, so I think I'm just exposed more to projects and stash from a lot of different people rather than following the work of one specific knitter.  Ah, aggregation!
