The knitting doesn't have to be perfect; I can often learn more from mistakes and recovery from them. I like opinions of different yarns, since I'm always looking for something new to try. Fancy website design isn't important, just a nice, clear, large enough font, not too cluttered. Colored and special fonts are hard to read. Humor is good, or content that shows some personality from the blogger. And I love links to sites I haven't seen. And congrats on your blogiversary.

I find that positive blogs (such as Zeneedle) are really good. I try to follow "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" on my blog. Happy blogiversary!

Christene at SheepsPyjamas sent me. This contest is like a public service. I'm really enjoying reading what your commenters have to say. I like blogs that are mostly knitting content with plenty of good pictures. Pictures of knitting and yarn, of course, but I like pictures of pets and nature, too. I love good writing with a sense of humor and sincerity. Content of the blogger's personal life intriuges the voyeur in me, but it's not completely necessary. Some blogs I like because I feel like I'd be friends with the blogger if we met in real life and some blogs I go to simply to be inspired and entertained by the knitting, photography and writing. And when it's my bloggy friends who inspire and amaze me, I'm in heaven. Happy Blogiversary! Christene at SheepsPyjamas sent me. This contest is like a public service.

They become like friends. Some bloggers I just don't get a long with, so I don't go back. I look for humor, pictures, stories, things that resonate with me - much the same as I look for in my friends. You seem like a pretty cool chick, so you're in my Favorites list to check a few times a week. Glad to meet you!</p> I like to learn about the blogger. They become like friends.

I look for someone who has a similar style as I do, so I can get some suggestions/ideas for future projects. Good writing is a must as well, and I tend to stop reading blogs with really short (or long) posts. I also like to have some idea of the REST of their life.

A clean design style with plenty of good photography will usually keep me coming back. So much about knitting is visual, without good visual content, a knitting blog just wouldn't be all it could be. And an upbeat conversational writing style is definitely another plus! May you live to blog many more years, and knit a few too! Happy knitting- ali Happy Blogiversary!

I save blogs to my favorites and visit many daily...It has to be visual for me! Lots of photos of yarn, projects, cats, whatever. I like a blog that also has a sense of humor and talks about things other than just yarn and knitting. Happy Blogging Happy Blogiversary!
