Woo hoo! We received our invitation to Ravelry
this week. I only applied about two weeks ago, and we were #43,XXX something on the list (no kidding)...so I am heartened by the speed with which our invitation arrived.
So what is it? For those of you who haven't been keeping up, it's THE place for knitters and crocheters to unite, from all over the world, to share about their work. It is data base that goes so deep I hestitate to make you think I totally understand all the possibilities...just let me say here that it's now all I want to do (well mostly...it's like a magnet).
I have fallen down the rabbit hole and am loving it. Check it out if you haven't. If you're already a member, drop me a note...we are listed as TaosSunflower. In a few weeks, I'm going to start a group so we can all keep in closer touch on our projects. Let the party begin! ---Martie

Thanks for the scoop on Ravelry, Martie. I wondered what that was all about.
But my question for you is, do I want to fall down the rabbit hole? Will I sacrifice more knitting time in exchange for blogging? I'm finding so many new & inspiring knitting patterns and ideas through blogging that I'm almost to the point where I'll have to choose which to give up time for, because I'm now addicted to knitting AND blogging.
If only I could give up my day job, then there wouldn't be any problem :-D
Sure you want to! We'll all see each other as we're falling...
I have done almost no knitting this week because of it...I may have to set some boundaries (what's that?). I just know I could probably get lost there for all day and more...so maybe we can form a support group? Let me know what you decide to do!
Hi! This is Sandy, Linda's crazy friend from Santa Fe - I'm on Ravelry as 'bonchin' (creative, no? just my last name) glad to see you're on there now. You should go to the New Mexico Knitters group:
http://www.ravelry.com/groups/new-mexico-knitters
and let your presence be known in the LYS topics. There's also several spinning groups & a fiber prep group and just so much there to read and chat and I just love it! Can't wait to see the new store arrangement. Sandy
Hey there...thanks for the tips! Next, I'm going to have to quit sleeping...
Found you and added you :-)
Cool! I'll go looking for you in a little bit, too...XOXO
WOOOHOOOO! Ravelry ROCKS!
