knitting librarians or librarian knitters

03 November 2004 • knitting & yarn, librariana, politicking

Lately, I came upon another knitting librarian blogger (via LIS Blogsource) and got to thinking about how many of us there are. This thinking led to some searching, which in turn led to this list, which is not at all exhaustive, and which I encourage you to append to in the comments:

My hope is that these brilliant and arresting links will distract you from that other thing, of which I cannot speak, for I am heartsick.

Both comments and pings are currently closed.

Thanks for the distraction (get ready for a mass immigration of dems to canada). I’ll have to check out these other knitty librarian blogs to get my mind off of the “other thing”. I have another one to add to your list: Lolly knitting around: http://lollyknitting.blogspot.com/

Several of my friends are librarians and knitters, but few blog about knitting. My friend Peth, who is not a professional librarian but works in a library, does occasionally write about knitting and library stuff.

Does it count if you don’t work in libraries anymore? I worked as a research/business librarian for years – even did a (short!) stint in the library at People Magazine. Worst job ever. Now I’m a writer, photographer, and of course, knitter. But, once a librarian, always a librarian right? Interesting list. Thanks.
