I know I’ve mentioned it here before, but I have two crazy boys right now so no time to look it up…
The latest thing in the knitting world is Ravelry which is where you can post pictures of your stash and completed projects, including all the juicy details like what yarn you used, finished size, modifications, and so forth. So say you want to make St. Brigid – who else has made it? what yarn did they use? did they do any modifications? Fascinating stuff like that.
They’re just developing this – last I heard it was still in beta. So if you want to be a member of the Ravelry community, you submit your email address and then when it’s your turn (aka they’re ready for you), they send you an invite and you can activate your account. You can enter your email address at any time and see where you are in line.
Well, as of Monday, there were 10,004 people ahead of me. As of today, a mere 9015.
Now my finishing spree just got even more serious because I want to have some pictures of really cool stuff I’ve knit ready to go up once I finally get my invite. Gotta run!
I hope you get your invite soon!
I still can’t believe knitting is such a big thing. I totally don’t mean that in an insulting way, but until you (and now a new girl at work) I never knew anyone except my grandma that knitted. Seriously. But Claire, the new girl, she’s a big-time knitter. Sweaters, purses, socks, afghans, whatever. She carries it with her on breaks and at lunch, and today she shared some knitting magazine with me. I was amazed at all the stuff! Totally amazed. If I had time for another “thing”, knitting would be it.
