More on Ravelry

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

So I got my invite yesterday and I made good use of my time. I added 13 projects (finished and WIPs), Queued 2 projects (in other words, things you plan to knit), added 8 books from LibraryThing, stashed 8 yarns, added 10 friends and catalogued half of my needles. (I need to give some of these DPNs away – truly!)

I was very glad I had added my knitting photos to Flickr and my books to LibraryThing in preparation…but I wish I had completed the photo box (or started it! LOL) and photographed my stash.

So, to my friends who were wondering – Ravelry is a great organizational tool but it’s so much more than that! You can find others who are

  • Knitting in your neighborhood
  • Knitting the same things as you
  • Just plain knitters!!

If you haven’t signed up yet – do it! If you have and are waiting…take pics, get organized, and have patience! It’s worth it!!

June Update

I’ve been horrible about updating this Knitting Blog. It’s always easier for me to just post on my normal blog but that’s just an excuse!

OTN:

  • Fluted Bannister Socks -in Lorna’s Laces Watercolor.  Magic Loop, 2 at once, top down.
  • Big Shrug aka Music & Lyrics Shrug
  • Lace – but it’s been so long since I picked it up, I can barely remember what it is!  Socks are MUCH funner! 😉

Pictures soon – I promise!

J2’s hat, v.2

J2’s Hat, started April 16th, 2007, finished April 18th, 2007
Pattern: Just Your Basic Beanie
Yarn: Woolease
Needles: Addi Turbos, size 7
Pattern Notes: J2 chose the colors and the pattern. Once I talked him out of red and green (too Christmasy for me). 😉
Would I knit it again? Definitely. This is the pattern I use for all the charity hats I do. And, I’ve done them for my DH and all the boys. This is J2’s replacement hat! :/ Grr We’ll find it eventually I imagine. Finished just in time to take camping – he’s thrilled it covers all his hair and his ears. lol

Here is another view of it:
