It’s all about who you are. I have always hated the word retirement. To me it implies a retreat, not an expansion. I think about this a lot. I’ve lately been thinking that, perhaps, the word encore is appropriate but an encore is a rerun and I am certainly not in rerun mode.
For the next 30 days I’m going to try blogging at least 5 days each week….
Today, however, I’ve proven that I am Not someone who knits…I am a Knitter with a capital K. How do I know? I have just restarted a new project for the 3rd time….ripping put almost 4 hours of work…..sigh….
So, here’s where I am now…we’ll see where I can get by tomorrow

Confessions of a Ravelry Addict

If you’re not a knitter (or crocheter) you probably don’t know what Ravelry is.  Bottom line, it’s Facebook for fibre folks….if you have any potential to combine technology with a passion for handcrafting–Ravelry will feed your addiction.  A quick description is here.  It’s the best of technology (bringing great like-minded folks together to learn, converse and grow) and the worst of technology (a place for addicts to find other addicts).

Through Ravelry (and with my personal knitting coach, CraftNinja)  I now have new passions (and a yarn stash that my husband is being very tolerant of–but if it get’s much larger I’ll have to justify it as wall insulation)  Color, fibre and pattern mix together in a soul-satisfying way.

With that said, I will occasionally post pictures of my successes here, but, today, this post is for my Ravelry fans–just to get them some files….and to say “thanks” (click on the picture to get to the larger version)

(Please note:  these files would probably be a violation of SOPA–because I have used bits and pieces I found all over the web)
