Sheesh, Day 3 and I've already forgotten a day.
Your Knitting Or Crochet Hero
Blog about someone in the fibre crafts who truly inspires you. There are not too many guidelines for this, it's really about introducing your readers to someone who they might not know who is an inspiration to you. It might be a family member or friend, a specific designer or writer, indie dyer or another blogger. If you are writing about a knitting designer and you have knitted some of their designs, don't forget to show them off.
I've been well inspired this year by those who have published patterns and books with Loom Knitting patterns. I have for my early summer knitting a pattern by Isela Phelps (http://www.purlingsprite.com). I'm currently knitting a pinwheel blanket by Bethany Dailey (http://www.gettinitpegged.com). I recently finished a stole with pattern by Jenny Stark (http://guppylovesshark.wordpress.com). I've knit patterns by Kathy Norris (http://kathynorrisdesigns.com/) and Denise Layman (http://www.knitchat.com) and many others.
I do have to say that much like last year one of my favorite loom knitting pattern designers is Renee Van Hoy (http://wwwinvisibleloomandcraft.blogspot.com). Her patterns are always enjoyable. They are well thought out and easy to follow with enough detail so that everything makes sense.
The Sweet Ruffles shawl that I knit not too long ago was one of Renee's designs. It's my mission to knit all of them but unless she stops designing (please don't) I probably won't catch up. I don't really have a problem with that because I know there is another great pattern and project just around the corner for me!
