KNITTING WITHOUT DOG HAIR IS NOT AN OPTION

Ravelry is soooooooooooooooooooooo cool! WOW!!! I had an idea of what it was about when some other bloggers talked about it. But this cool - I am totally awed that two people had the idea and are actually doing it. What a service to the knitting and crocheting community! I never dreamt that I would actually enjoy spending hours and hours on the internet.

It is very rewarding to have all past, current and future knitting project information at your finger tips - anywhere you go. Next time I'm in Germany, I'll show this to my mom - otherwise she won't believe that something like this can exist. Her stash is organized in cardboard boxes and her spreadsheet - of yarn and needles - is in her head. :-)

SOOOO - hubby and I went to the High Museum yesterday to see the Annie Leibovitz exhibit. It was great - we both really enjoyed it. Some of her personal photographs made me cry because they were very sad. We visited Brett at his new workplace, Roxx, for lunch. It's a great place and he is a great waiter - it was his first day and I hope we didn't give him too hard a time. ;-)

Later yesterday afternoon, I got on Ravelry to start my project list, etc. I didn't go to bed until 3:30am - WTF! Time flies when... . I entered 28 projects - 12 UFOs or, better, WIPs... I am hoping once I am up to date with all this, I won't spend the nights in front of the PC. :-)

So, this is what my little workspace looks like this morning - with coffee that hubby made.

And yes, I have a mug that Good Morning in German. Hubby gave me a set of two when I moved in with him in 2000.

OHHH - and I already got a gift this morning - Picowso from the Cow Parade:

Hubby is collecting each and every single cow for me. He has them stashed away all over the house. I keep telling him that he shouldn't give me so many gifts for every possible occasion. And this morning, I told him that if he had so many cows, he could give me one a week. That would take care of 52 cows right there. I was joking, more or less... Two minutes later he handed me the cow with a "Happy August 5th!" - he is such a sweetie!!!

Off to entering more projects at Ravelry while listening to 97.1 The River. Don't be jealous, you too will be approved soon! Ravelry approves around 1200 people each week. I know the wait is terrible, but it's worth it - trust me. A word of advice - take a few days off if you can time it. Then you can spend all the time you want on Ravely. ;-)

Jacquie and I - if I can tear myself away from you-know-what - will be at Knitch this afternoon for some Sunday knitting - see ya there!
