Pocket Blog
I haven’t seen anyone post about these yet, so it could be that I have my head in a hole, but I’m sharing anyway. If you’ve already heard of them, pat me on the head and scroll down to the actual knitting content below.
From time to time I talk to people about this blog and there’s never anything convenient to write the whole URL down on, so I just offer up “you can google ‘needles & hooks’ and I’ll pop right up”. When I was planning to go see The Yarn Harlot, and planning to bring my Giant Glove, I decided to splurge on something a friend of mine had shown me, fun little mini-photo cards: Moo Cards. You upload photos, you pick what you want the back to say, you give them your credit card, and $25 and about a week later, you get 100 fun little cards.
I picked a selection of images of my finished knitted items (a sample of the blog, right in a box):
Sadly, they didn’t arrive in time for my Harlot visit, but next time you see me, I can hand you one. They really are tiny:
Now for the knitting content…
Most of the stuff I bought at Webs will be used as raffle prizes when I ask you all to donate to my Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk one of these days soon, so I’m not going to show it to you now. But I did get a few things for projects. Including a pile of white cotton for this:
That’s a swatch for this vest, which I’m knitting long as a beach cover-up for a friend. I’ve only got 3 weeks before she goes on vacation, so you’ll be seeing a lot of it.

Oh, those are cute cards! I just print business cards with my blog button on them…
love the cards! Someone gave me one at the MD festival and they are the perfect size for bloggers!
How fun! I love those cards.
And that’s a great vest. Thanks for the links!
I love moo cards! I have ones with my crocheted gnomes and mushrooms on them. They’re great conversation pieces on their own, too.
Love the pattern in the swatch.
(I can’t believe I missed out on the GLOVE at Webs! I should have been paying more attention.)
I love moo cards! I need to order some more, I’m just about out of them.
