Ravelry

I know not all of you are on Ravelry (but if you want a great source of patterns/advice/knitting fun get on the waiting list!)....

but for those of you who are..

It's not completely pathetic that I'm bummed that it isn't working for me right now and I can't organize my yarn. Right? I mean.... it doesn't mean that I'm completely addicted. Right? Because we all know I can stop any time. And that I'm ... not... checking back every 5 ... 1... minute to see if it's working again. Right?

Also, I joined Sock Madness 2. It's a single elimination tournament where one knitter is paired up against another and a sock pattern is released. Whoever finishes first (or is the furthest after 2 weeks) moves on to the next round. This continues until there is only one final knitter remaining. It sounds like a bunch of fun and even if I'm eliminated in the first round (which is likely considering my work schedule and not being the speediest of knitters), I still get the patterns for all of the rounds. Unfortunately sign ups closed Tuesday night, so you can no longer register (I just found out about it Monday morning!). It starts mid-March though, so I'm hoping to get a lot of stuff accomplished before it starts!

Oooh.... Ravelry's working again......

Ravelry!!

So apparently I had to go on vacation in order to get my Ravelry invite!! I got the email on Friday sometime. Anyways... if you're on it.. add me! My screen name is kniteurope. I've added who I remembered had it (not many people), so if you have it and I'm not your friend yet, add me.

I've been doing some stuff on it, but a lot of the yarn I have isn't on there (and I don't have good pictures/am clueless as to what each yarn weight is). But it's awesome so far! I'm very excited.

I will add photos from the weekend later. It was a lot of fun though. I am done with one Monkey and part way down the leg of the second. More tomorrow..
