If you're joining the ring

For new joiners, please don't forget to add the ring code. There are several blogs sitting in the queue that are still missing the codes. I have emailed them to the addresses that have registered.

In the meantime, you must visit these new blogs that I have just added today. Both are UK based :

Tusa of Knitplosion is working away on Loll while cheering on England and
Carol of Mad for Knit has started a Christmas Stocking

and Skumring, a danish blog written in English and get this, there's a lot of lacing happening here.


anf if you're up for a contest, visit Joanne. She's offering an opportunity to win Fair Isling on Blue Moon by the people that brought you Socks that Rock. Contest open until June 30th! Good luck

Exchange 2006 is up!

The 2006 exchange details are posted! The theme this year is Home and Hearth. Details are listed on the Rowan Knitting Exchange Forum accessible to members.

There's also going to be a recipe exchange this year

You can participate in either, both or none but I'm hoping to hear from you!

Let's get together

It suddenly seemed like a good idea to set up an Rowanette blog ring. I mean why not, I spend all my time trying to keep track of them all.

Just a few rules (for now).

1. Blog Ring for Rowanettes. It's mostly knitting but can be other stuff too (gardening, cooking, etc). As long as there is no objectional material, it's cool. What do I mean by objectional? Not sure, but when I see it, I'll know.

2. Blog can be in any language.

3. Active blogs only. Blog must be updated regularly. By regularly, I mean at least once a month. Blogs not updated after 2 months will be banished.

4. Please feel free to design another button for the ring, if it please you. I'm all for creativity and I know that the current button isn't all inspiring.
