It's All About the Blog - Living in a Wool Free World....

I cannot wear wool - I'm allergic.

Wool is too itchy - I don't like it.

Wool is too hot - I live in a warm climate.

These are just three reasons among many for why some folks just don't cotton to the likes of wool. There's suppose to be a play on words in that sentence, but I'm not sure it made it's way out - cotton vs wool - you're all brilliant you'll figure it out. It's late on Friday evening and I just blocked a Spring Lace neck warmer and I'm a bit out of it, nothing new, I know. Really though there are as many reasons that folks give for not liking wool as there are reasons for loving wool. And  that's alright!

This blog review is dedicated to those that just cannot get in the groove with the woolly fibers of the world. And it is also for those that want to expand their knowledge and repertoire of fiber choices. This weeks blog is Wool Free and Lovin' Knit (http://woolfreeandlovinknit.typepad.com/wool-free-and-lovin-knit/). The author of the blog is Joan. She and I met on Ravelry and I have enjoyed reading her blog for  several months now.
  
Joan is quite knowledgeable about non-woolly fibers, which makes her blog a great place to find inspiration when I sit down to knit for friends and family that prefer gifts made from cotton, acrylic, silk, etc... Sometimes I feel a little unsure of what non-wool fiber to use and I can always count on Joan to help pull me out of the fire.
As with many blogs, we find ourselves roaming through parts of Joan's life while we are subtly being taught the grandeur of living and knitting without wool. I highly suggest you take a peek at this blog - I think you'll be surprised at how lovely life can be without the help of the sheep on the hill. You can also find Joan on Ravelry under (organizedtoknit). Enjoy!!!
