SQUEEE!
I GOT MY RAVELRY INVITE TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!
For those of you not into fiber arts, Ravelry is a marvel of technology designed to help those of us who are seeking to preserve the traditional art of needlework.
You can type in 150 grams of sport weight cotton---and pull up projects people have made. I can solve my chunky weight bamboo problem by typing in chunky/bamboo and scarf and pull up a scarf I'll be proud to wear all winter.
As I am a bit of a compulsive yarn buyer, this is wonderful. Now I won't stand in my yarn closet (shut up---don't YOU have a yarn closet?) and say "what the hell am I going to do with three freaking balls of trellis??" I may not see anything I want to knit---but at least I won't be making any more novelty garter stitch scarves. (Unless they are ironic gifts for other knitters. Alison Williams, you know who you are.)
Technology, handwork, deliciously soft bamboo...(martinis...)...mmmm!

That's TWO women from the rust belt, the Evil Science Chick from Pittsburgh, and YOU, dear, that are into this Ravelry thing.
I think it's the asbestos exposure, personally...
I love my ironic gift! It's so cute!
Congrats on your Ravelry invite. Jenny and I will have to come over and stand behind you whilst you browse.
