I *heart* Ravelry!

I know, I know, who doesn't? But I've been on for a month and I've been exposed to so many more new people, patterns, yarns, etc than I would have been browsing the web. Well, maybe I haven't necessarily been exposed to more, but I love that you can actually keep track of all the people and projects you like in an organized way. In the year and a half that I've lived in Iowa I've had a hard time finding and connecting with knitters. Through Ravelry I had lunch with two new knitting friends just this week! I was browsing patterns and realized someone had used a yarn that I have in my stash for a project I've been dying to make. Now I'm going to make it as a gift for Christmas! I'm just so excited about the connections I've made so far, and I know it's going to make finding a new knitting group in Chicago so much easier. Yep, Chicago. Wade graduates in May and has accepted a job in Schaumburg, which is a northwest suburb. We are so excited to be moving back to our favorite city and to be close to my family!!!

Hey, Sarah! So glad to find you on Ravelry! (I'm brand new to it-- still learning the ropes!) Congrats to Wade and to you-- I know you'll be so glad to get back to Chicago!

Congratulations on the graduation and the move. Chicago is a great city.

Oh, you are just going to keep finding more and more reasons to love Ravelry the more you are on it!
