Blogtober 2021 - What's it all about?

First of all, I haven't blogged in what seems like forever, and indeed, when I checked, it's almost a year which I can't quite believe.

So I thought a good plan of action would be to join 'Blogtober' along with many other fellow bloggers all around the world.

It may seem a crazy challenge when I have so much going on but I do like a challenge and every post doesn't have to be epic - I may just keep some of them short and sweet.

They will all be yarn related in some way, and will include photos from my archive to save me some rather than taking lots of new photos (which is pretty time consuming). Hopefully that will help me 'stay in the game'.

About Blogtober

During the month of October, for 31 days, bloggers from all around the world will blog every day. You can blog about whatever you choose and it's a great way to connect and find new bloggers to follow, as well as potentially increasing your blog traffic. 

You can use the following hashtag:

#blogtober21 

on social media to see what others are blogging about.

I'm hoping to enjoy the process and share some things to help inspire you and help you with your knitting and crochet techniques. I may throw in some more technical posts for tech editors and designers too.

But above all I hope to enjoy it and I hope you'll enjoy reading my posts.
