Chris is gone again, and I found the perfect way to use up time like no tomorrow.

I just spent 8 hours taking pictures of yarn, and adding everything to my stash in Ravelry. I knew I had a lot of yarn, but I never thought I had THAT much. Too bad a good portion of it is carp!

Recently, I found out that my IAM account was made into a permanent free account for being featured in ModBlog warning, NSFW a while back, so I went on there and saw somebody in the Seattle group was asking if any knitters wanted to start a SnB. I responded to her, and once that gets started up I’ll have some other liberal minded tattooed chicks to knit with, since the group at Crossroads scares me a little. I haven’t gone, and I know shame on me for getting impressions before I go, but I don’t really expect there to be people there I can relate to or feel comfortable around at a knitting circle in BELLEVUE.

So. Now that I’ve spent all day fiddling with Ravelry, I should probably start… knitting?

I’m not a leader. I can be if I have to, but I’m too submissive to WANT to. I’ve been in charge of groups in school simply because I know nobody else will do the work if I don’t, but I’ve never enjoyed it.

However, I’m more stubborn than I’m not a leader. Ravelry just created a groups feature. There was no Seattle group. Pfft.

So I made one.

And oh hell it’s a lot of work to start up. X( 46 people have joined in two days. I guess I just want this group to be the best it can be. I put together a list of puget sound area LYS’s, and I’m working on a knitting groups one. But damn.

Oi.

After a pretty long wait, I FINALLY GOT MY INVITATION TO RAVELRY. In case you didn’t know about it, Ravelry is pure awesome. I’ve fiddled around with it a little for the last few minutes, and it looks like it’s going to be really useful for keeping track of things.

And now I need to go run errands. But finally! A new distraction to keep me occupied on my last few weeks working graveyards!
