But OMG, I just joined Ravelry and spent over 3 hours browsing around on it. I love it! So much fun just looking around and finding new projects, ideas, groups and anything knitting/crochet related. I don't know why I waited so long. I have never been one to join "networking" sites, it is just not my thing (I have never joined Myspace and don't plan on it). But since this one is craft related, I am behind it all the way. I was waiting for my invitation to join and was so excited when I received it today, my name at Ravelry is of course, lulubliss. Look me up there, sometime (not that I have a whole lot on there yet).
On that note, I started a crochet project yesterday... the Hourglass Jacket from Stitch Diva. I sat and watched the broomstick lace tutorials that are posted on the Stitch Diva website and couldn't wait to download my pattern. It is a lot of fun and pretty fast. I am using a vintage peacock blue wool yarn that is called Nubbee and really liking the way the stitch looks with it. It gives it a more vintage look than the recommended silk yarn. Fun stuff this Saturday!
I'm so glad you are in Ravelry now. Isn't it amazing??! I'll add you as a friend. I looove that Hourglass jacket pattern. That will look so good on you!! xoxo
