KNITSTER

One thing I’ve always enjoyed when I have the opportunity to visit my local IKEA store is that they always have a display out (or at least this past year they have) of a makeshift yarn store, and how you can use various shelving and office furniture that they have for such a business setup. […]

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.

In my constant endeavors to learn more and appreciate knitting, I was online last night, and decided to look up information about one of the authors of this book, which I recently purchased on Amazon at a super-bargain price.
