Knitting and Crochet Blog Week: Day 5

Blast it!  Creativity needed!

blue big K&C Blog Week 2011
Day Five: 1st April. And now for something completely different
This is an experimental blogging day to try and push your creativity in blogging to the same level that you perhaps push your creativity in the items you create.  There are no rules of a topic to blog about (though some suggestions are given below) but this post should look at a different way to present content on your blog. This can take one of many forms, but here a few suggestions:
  • Wordless, photographic post
  • Video blog post
  • Podcast
  • Cartoon/sketch of an idea
  • Write about a subject from a different perspective (for example, you could write about a day in the life of a knitted sock from the point of view of the sock).
  • Interpretive modern dance (why does someone always suggest this?)
  • A poem or piece of rhyming verse
  • Stop motion animation
Tips: The actual subject matter of the post might be quite dependent on the media method(s) you choose to use and as such there is no specific ‘topic’ to blog on. You could blog about a recently completed project, a knitting experience, a trip to the LYS or anything else that takes your fancy. The point behind this post is to get people thinking about using their blogs in different ways and pushing he boundaries of what they use their blogging platform for.
PS: Yes, it is April Fool’s Day, so have fun with the post.

I decide to do haikus.  Because I can.  And I'm not creative enough for Modern Dance or techincally adept enough for animation or a video post :)

Yarn. Yarn, yarn, yarn, yarn.
Wool, cotton, alpaca, silk.
My stash, so much yarn.

Noro.  Pretty stripes.
Beautiful color repeats.
Why is this pink here??

Cables weave in, out.
Stitches knit out of order.
Pretty knitted knots.

Wedding band lace shawls,
So fine, through a ring they pass,
Beautiful madness.

One more new project.
Hello, my name is Lara,
a cast-on addict.

Misread patterns, or
Projects not quite as planned.
Off to the frog pond!
