ANY REALLY GOOD O/S BLOGS?

MingVase

If anybody has found any really good O/S blogs could you share them? I get very bored and like to read as I knit

Good question Mar.  Sadly, most of the ones I followed seem to have given up.  (Or faded into FB...)  Even "Frugal in Cornwall" has vanished.  A moment ago, when I attempted to find her blog, I found a list of "9 Great Frugal Blogs In The UK". on someone-else's blog  Don't know any of them.  

Would you be happy listening to podcasts for entertainment while you knit?  I don't know any OS podcasts but, since you're a knitter, here's a list of knitting ones I shared on the Knitters Thread.

I know it's not a blog, but this is a good read.

I'm following this with interest Mar, as I like to listen to anything not MSM while I'm pottering/knitting etc. Also OH is deaf, which limits conversation between us to face to face, lip reading opportunities, so it gets very quiet. If I check 'knitting blogs' I get scary sites about seamless knitting, turning heels, etc.

'Generations before us 'a blog from an American lady who is G.Donna.  Full of useful and interesting articles that are relevant in the situation we're in because of covid and also on a day to day bases.  It's theme is Living like the past.

I find purely knitting blogs have to be listened to or watched carefully and that puts me off my own knitting. I'd like something easy that I can follow without having to concentrate on it ..

I think Frugal queen in France was formerly  frugal in Cornwell. They moved to Brittany.  She has started a blog.

My quiet life in Suffolk is an enjoyable cheerful read and my go to blog first thing in the morning with a bucket of coffee. There’s also a sidebar with links to other interesting blogs in the U.K, also U.S, N.Z and Canada, Cheryl’s frugal corner is one of note. HTH
