Ravelry dot com

I've been a member of Ravelry for about a year and just recently started utilizing it.  WOW!  It took me a while to get the hang of it but once I began to enter my stash in, I saw that it would link to projects hundreds of others made using that exact same yarn and the pattern if they added that.

So now I am so excited about emptying my stash out!  I'm just up to 15 of my yarns added (about 1/3 of my total) and put them in my "que" folder.  This is so organized I should get my stash gone in about 2 years.  I'm just so excited!

Finished the booties!

I conquered my fear of 3D projects!  I used the Shamrock MaryJane pattern and learned a new stitch, the Half double Chain Decrease, and finished it before the deadline!! 

I'm so proud of myself.  The first one on the right I made while Andrew had his wisdom teeth removed.  I was afraid to make the one on the left because it HAD to match.  No improvising or missing a stitch.  It had to be the exact same.  Although it is not...the first one is more pointed and the second one is more rounded, I don't think it will matter when on a baby foot.
