So I was cruising around Ravelry tonight, when I was overtaken by the urge to update my projects. For you non-knitters, think MySpace for fiber artists. Yes, I have more in progress than I have finished lately, and I have the urge to start some more. Could be caused by the yummy skein of Dream in Color Smooshy that followed me home from True Blue Fiber Friends today. It's a gorgeous skein of Gothic Rose. I think it wants to be mittens. I've never made mittens before, so this will be adventure. When I learn how to post pictures here, I'll show you. Small steps, small steps. . .
I frogged (rip it, rip it, rip it) the scarf I'd started with the vibrant mohair/nylon yarn in purple, cinnamon and black (Jamaican Spice). It just wasn't showing off the yarn well. So I switched to larger needles and I'll try it again.
I worked some on version 2.0 of the Mystic Meadows shawl that I started over last week.
Also had lunch with a friend. It's good to have friends--especially friends like Lou.
And friends? Well, that brings me back to Ravelry.
Life before Ravelry? Was there life before Ravelry? It's certainly been a lifesaver for me. It's given me a "place" to go everyday, since I don't have a job to go to right now. (I will, and soon. . . I hope!) It's given me new friends, and not just online friends, but real ones right here in the area. It's helped me realize just how much I have to learn about knitting: a lot! It's a wonderful world where you can talk to anyone about most anything. Like here, only way, way better!
