 I use Google Reader to do this. Since I follow about 40 blogs it really helps that Google Reader organizes them all, lets me know when they've been updated and shows all the updated posts in the same window so that I don't need to open new windows and wait for the blog and pictures to load. I like to think of it as my own custom online magazine.
If you already have a Gmail account it's super easy (if you don't that too is super easy): For blogs that are hosted by Blogger its as easy as clicking on 'follow' on the upper right hand side of the blog (make sure you're signed in). Follow any blog by pressing the rss icon found at the right side of the url address bar. Then when it prompts you to subscribe using Google accept, and then click Google Reader. Any blog or website that you've added this way will show up on your Reader page. Some bloggers (like us) have put the rss button on the side bar of the blog too. So if you're ready to get started you might as well begin with the local yarn shop blogs. Here are their links, follow away. Baaad Anna's Maiwa Gina Browns Three Bags Full Urban Yarns 8/19/2010 0 Comments Georgia by Jane Richmond  I love Jane Richmond's newest pattern Georgia. She used local yarn designer, Sweet Georgia Yarns' Tough Love Sock yarn for this elegant design. If you are a 'shop local' fanatic like I am this is the project for you.
You can buy Jane's pattern online at any of the following links http://janerichmond.blogspot.com/ http://www.etsy.com/shop/janerichmond http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/georgia-7 And Sweet Georgia Yarns here on their online shop or at the following brick and mortars in the Vancouver Area Baaad Anna's Three Bags Full Urban Yarns Black Sheep Yarns or if you are on the Island Knits by the Sea Mad about Ewe Fine Yarns or on the Sunshine Coast Unwind Knit and Fibre Lounge Wow, Felicia at Sweet Georgia is keeping busy these days. Luv, Janna |
Thank you for visiting the Vancouver Yarn blog! This space exists to celebrate and spread the word about local events, patterns, content, products and businesses. Submit the details of an event or new locally designed knitting/crochet pattern, or other local news and I'll post about it here. Thank you! ~Janna About Us
Hi, I'm Janna. I'm the proprietor and natural dyer at Everlea Yarn, and the tapestry instructor at The School of SweetGeorgia. I am a tapestry weaver, longtime knitter and 2013 graduate of Concordia University's Fibres and Material Practices program.
I created Vancouver Yarn in 2008 as a space to hold as much of the textile awesomeness that I could find in and around Vancouver. Here on the VY blog I mostly share about local events, pattern releases as well as share Community Highlights. Do you have an event, KAL, yarn or pattern release, launch or other thing you want us to post? Just fill out the form above or send your press release to me at janna (at) vancouveryarn.com Thank you! Janna
