Great knitting techniques blog

Being one who loves the detail work of knitting, like choosing just the right increase or executing invisible seams, I'd like to give a shout-out to my favorite knitting blog:  TECHknitting.

The author has been blogging since 2006, giving detailed and well-illustrated explanations of a wide range of knitting techniques.  There is a detailed index of the site by topic, which comes in handy when you're looking for, say, cast-ons and bind-offs, info on ribbing, or maybe the low-down on stripes (particularly jogless stripes).

Personally, I had trouble weaving in ends until I read some her tricks.  There's even a list of ten ways to work in ends, 8 of which or as-you-go.  There's bound to be something new or useful here for everyone, from beginners to seasoned crafters.  Do you have a favorite knitting blog you'd like to share?

  1. I've been reading Stephanie's blog Yarn Harlot for years. http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/

    And it isn't knitting, but it's just too cool not to share: Pin Tangle. Crazyquilting and embroidery. Seriously impressive. http://www.pintangle.com/

  2. Love Pin Tangle. I did some (very little) embroidery before Ben came along, and it was a great site for inspiration.
