Ravelry and Knittery

[40cakes]

Only 495 people are ahead of me in line for a ravelry.com invite! Oh please oh please hurry up, 495 people!

In other news, I finished my dad's overdue slippers while in line for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and I think they came out quite nice for a pattern I sorta kinda made up. One of them is lopsided, though.


Also finished my mom's blanket, of which the knit pieces have been done for months, but the boring sewing bits always make me not want to finish things.


Right now I'm working on a Sock Monkey baby set for a coworker whose wife is expecting, and a turd-shaped toilet paper cozy. Let's see how those turn out. If the latter is really awesome, I'm thinking of submitting the pattern to The Anticraft, as it seems right up their alley.

The blanket I'm working on for myself (mine is in red, grey, and black) has about three repetitions done of the pattern, so it's coming along quite nicely. I'm not terribly advanced enough to do a lot of patternwork or lace, but luckily this one isn't too hard, and Homespun yarn is VERY FORGIVING.

Yay! I think Kate said bradamant was on it, too. I also fear being a ravelry loser, since I only have two friends on Twitter!

i'm fairly certain bradamant is still on the waiting list but if she's on it and hasn't friended me yet i'm very insulted.

I've been checking like a crazy person, and they seem to be plowing through about 100 per day, so that is AWESOME!

Ravelry is a photo-hosting/social networking site for knitters and crocheters and crafters, etc. You can post pictures of your yarn stash and projects you're working on and can converse with other knitters about stuff and I'm building it up as SO AWESOME in my head that I hope it lives up to the hype.

If it does, you must tell us.

That picture of the slippers is vaguely awesome - mind if I use it for an avatar sometime?

Why, do they look like elf feet to someone other than me? NEAT. Sure, go ahead!
