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!!!
