Or more precisely, Ravelry and Me. We’ve talked about my knitting before. A lot. If you’re not interested in more about my knitting, then run and hide, because this post is for all my stitches. Today I want to talk about Ravelry.
For those who aren’t in the know, ravelry.com is a social media site for knitters and crocheters – a place to knitwork – I mean network – with other fiber-friendly folks who will understand your addictions. It’s got a lot of knitter specific stuff, like places to show off which books you own, or post pictures of yarn in your stash. It’s also got a place to talk about what you’re currently working on, as well as a way to track projects you’re thinking about for the future. For a slow knitter like myself, (I crawl at anything that’s not socks) such a site could be invaluable.
Of course, it’s a social media site, so I am terrible at it. This is why you don’t find me on facebook, and my Goodreads account is tired to this blog. I understand my limitations, and this is simply one of them.
That’s not to indicate that I don’t just adore Ravelry. It’s more a highlight of my own failings. Still I try to get out there once a month and poke around, update my Works-In-Progress, post some new pictures. All the things that a good member ought to do to look busy.
I don’t e-mail terribly often. And I don’t always respond as well (or as quickly) as I could, but I’m out there. I do (mostly) post pictures of my knitting out there. And I’m pretty easy to find (jchay). If you’re wandering about in Ravelry, go ahead and say high. I will even say hi back.
Sometime next month. Probably.
