Is it just my imagination, or have most of the knitbloggers I read suddenly gotten their invitations to Ravelry all at once? Franklin, Rabbitch, Carol, KnittyD -- and probably more. I'm signed up and waiting, but the longer it goes on, the more that I-am-not-worthy feeling grows. I knit socks, crochet granny squares, do counted-cross stitch, and amass stash. I do not design sweaters, whip up shawls from obscure notes in Barbara Walker's collections, turbo-crochet, spin gossamer from cat fur, or even read knitting charts. I knit from written patterns, rip out by the mile, and wish I had knitting or crocheting or stitching friends I could learn from.
I'm hoping that Ravelry will give me a chance to learn from folks who are willing to teach, and maybe meet up with them in person someday. I suspect Marilyn will unnerve me into silence, Laurie will make me laugh most immoderately, and if Amie were to introduce me to Oscar, I will fall in love.
As of today:
Found you!
You signed up on August 4, 2007
You are #23034 on the list.
5806 people are ahead of you in line.
12656 people are behind you in line.
48% of the list has been invited so far
If I can't have an in-person knitting community, I'll make the best of an online knitting community, and hope that my knitted bits hold up amongst all the expected knitted elegance already on Ravelry.
