Here I am on the latest big thing, dreamwidth, but I have to confess thatI am much more excited about having opened an account on Ravelry, a knit and crochet community. There are over 300,000 members on Ravelry.
I need to learn how to post pictures so that I can catalog my knitting projects. In the meantime I have been busy searching for and joining groups---groups of friends who both craft and share something else in common.
So far I have joined eight: Crafty Gardeners (self-explanatory); La Leche League International (I was a leader for 14 years); AP Knitters (attachment parenting); Mother Bear Project (knitting teddy bears for children orphaned or otherwise affected by AIDS in third world countries); Yarn Harlot fans (an author who writes about knitting and life and stuff); and two religious groups---Via Media (Episcopalian knitters); and OrthoCrafters ( Eastern Orthodox knitters, mostly converts, it seems); and Vermont Knitters, a piece of nostalgia for my childhood home. I am mostly going to be reading for now, but I am very excited where I seem to belong.
