KNITSTER

Well, a few weeks ago, I was wondering what all the fuss was about Ravelry. Now, I get it.

It seems the knitting community is constantly abuzz with words about Ravelry. I hear it’s an awesome database to track your stash, show off your FOs and UFOs, and has great chat forums, etc. I am eager to figure out what’s so special about it, and so I jumped on the bandwagon.
I’m waiting patiently, as [...]

I got semi-burned with SP6, although I made friends with Cheryl through it, thus with this group. My pal Yvonne is the moderator for this one, and she ran a [...]
