Lookin at Blogs

Maybe this will be a regular feature on the blog, maybe not, we will just have to see what happens. Anyway, today I am looking at blogs. Yes, a blog about... blogs. Or at least a blog post about blogs.

I decided to take look around the blogging community (of which I consider myself an outsider being I never can seem to keep one going) and see just what is out there. I was shocked. And we are not talking nudity and profanity shocked here, as far as blogs go, there could be more nudity but I think we have a decent amount so far. No, I was shocked at the number of blogs out there dedicated to one singular thing. Knitting. Yes, knitting. Anyone who has ever sifted through random blogs out there has come across a multitude of knitting blogs.

What is it that attracts knitters to blogging like this? I understand, and respect there are people out there who enjoy knitting, but what I don't get is just how many of them are on the internet showing and discussing their knitting in blogs. I always considered knitting to be something people sat and did to pass the time. Not something that required large amounts of discussion, but I was wrong... I think. It has been made clear to me that soon, the world of blogging will soon be overwhelmed with colorful yarn, large dangerous knitting needles and angry fanatical words from those who love them. I can only hope not to get caught in the crossfire when the Great Knitting Wars begin.

As I said, there is nothing wrong with knitting. You wanna knit, fine. Go ahead and knit. But really, how much can there be to talk about that it requires a blog dedicated exclusively to knitting? I hope to find out these, and many more answers as I delve deeper into the world of blogging during my 12 part expose on yarn bloggers. Wish me luck!

Oh, and I hate blogs about people's kids.
