So I have cast on my first knitted object. I’m not holding my breath; after one and a bit rows on top of the cast on stitches, it is a complete unholy mess and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it gets frogged (unravelled) before too long.
In other news, Ravelry’s nice, isn’t it? It has that perfect balance between function and ease of use. The nearest equivalent for sewing that I can think of (www.patternreview.com) has more or less the required functionability but it’s nowhere near as aesthetically nice or as intuitive to use. So I can see that I may be spending a lot more browsing time on the other, even if sewing remains my primary crafty hobby.

I love Ravelry, and the couple that own it seem really nice. Casey (the ‘code monkey’) is really active in the forums and he seems lovely and is always happy to help if he can :)
Plus, I find the notebook so useful!
