This site has been sadly neglected but now that the Nominations for the Blog Awards Ireland are open it’s time to ensure that you know about the active Knitting and Crochet blogs so you can nominate a few.
We do have plans for the site but they’re taking us a while to sort out to our satisfaction and keep our jobs going as well.
This will be an ongoing list starting with those knitters who are on Ravelry, if no language is mentioned it’s in English, some of these people are people who blog but not necessarily about knitting. Any blog with a * contains knitting or crochet content on the first page, or in the tags associated with the blog. If a blog had this I haven’t removed it in the latest edit.
If anyone wants themselves removed from this list please inform us and we will take you off.
a year is the last year postings are on the site and the * is posts within the last 4 months, edited 2nd June 2012 so since February 2012) This has been heavily edited, any blogs that require invites or say that they’re available for sale have been eliminated. Folks who have moved away from Ireland have also been eliminated. I’ve done my best to update links as best I can, secondary links, like etsy shops have not always been checked.

Thanks for including Spring Stitches! I also write two other blogs, one of which is about life in Cork City as a knitter and foodie: http://slaintecork.wordpress.com/ And another is recipes and cooking with the rare mention of knitting: http://cookingpeasandqs.wordpress.com/
I would be honored to be nominated! It has been a bit of a dream of mine since I started my blogs four years ago.

Wow, that is a good list. Can I ask a favour please? Would you mind changing the name of the blog awards from the Irish blog awards to Blog awards Ireland please as that is what it will be known as from now on. Many thanks for the feature on the awards and I’d love to meet you at the event on 13th October

Done. We had an earlier version here and I thought it would be useful for people (including myself!)

Someone said that there were no Irish Knitting or craft blogs, I decided to prove them wrong.
