Yay, I'm part of the "cool" crowd...
"Hey there,
frecklegirl has invited you to Ravelry!
"Here you go! Thanks for your interest in our little site."
Now I just need time to actually really use the site. What I've peeked at so far looks pretty neat. However, I'm a little afraid to catalog my stash. As I've been pre-nesting, I've been finding hidden caches I'd totally forgotten about, and so far its not a pretty site! I love the idea of keeping track of my needles though. I had tried this a few years ago on paper, but I never have it with me/can't find it/forgot to add new ones. So we'll see if an electronic version serves me any better. But in the meantime, I'll roam around and check things out, and start using it bit by bit, project by project.
See you there!

You Know you knit too much when...
You show up at your favorite yarn shop's huge annual sale and before you can go in and shop with the other knitters, the owner takes you aside to remind you that she doesn't want a repeat of what happened last year. You seek out forms of excercise that you can do while knitting, such as riding a stationary bike. You hear about a breed of minature sheep that grow to be only 16 inches in height and weigh only 50 pounds and immediately start trying to figure out whether you can convince your spouse its a dog. Before you buy anything such as a hammock or curtains you seriously wonder whether you could knit it. (See my future post on the baby gate made from Bernat cotton!) Without your knitting, you feel lonely. Friday, June 23
Days to Ottermere

 We're so excited! We're organized,
getting through the laundry, the tickets have arrived, accomodations
are booked. We're taking our first family vacation and travelling by VIA
to the Lake. Its a two day train ride, through the backwoods of
Ontario to Ottermere
 And if you don't like the big graphic on my blog...suck it up I had to go big...its that small!!! Everything is arranged, we just have to pack up. But in a crisis that only my knitting friends can understand...I'm not sure what project I'm taking! It has to be super portable, and something that will keep me both entertained and interested but I have to be able to keep on eye on Caleb or else I'll never touch it. Amanda bought me a great knitting book for my birthday basically for rebel knitters who have trouble using patterns. Now I didn't say following, I said using. Jamie will understand. I think she has yet to swatch anything! The "pattern" I think I'm going with is in Mason Dixon Knitting, one of the log cabin blankets. The great part of the book is that it has personality, humour and warmth. They offer the basic idea behind a pattern then show variations on it, and other creative ways of approaching the task. As suggested for one of the blankets, I'm going to try it in a denim or at least a cotton, colours still undecided. Jamie and I are going shopping tomorrow to see what yummy things we can dig up. I have two baby blankets I'd like to make, one for a girl already born and one for a boy in October. (we won't even talk about the two unknowns! Lots of time!!! ACK!) So I figure this will keep me out of trouble for a while. I can work on it when I go into Winnipeg for work. Oh, and to add to their list of places we have tried to knit and failed....court. Much like their funeral, I didn't try to knit either, but the sign says,
