Raverly different?

Thank you all for the kind words about Raverly. I went back to the website to see if I could "check my status" and the set up for new accounts was totally different. Now you just give them your e-mail address and they send you a link to create your user name and password. I tried it and guess what...No wait!! I don't know if it was because they already had my information or if they just changed the sign up. For anyone else waiting to get in to Raverly or thinking of signing up now would be a goo… Continue

Raverly

So what is the deal with Raverly? I submitted an "application" 4 weeks ago and never got any response....Am I not good enough for this secret society?

Stroll. Is it a yarn or a pattern?

I was searching for a new sock pattern when I came across Berroco knits page. They have a sock pattern called "Stroll"! Isn't that a funny coincidence?!!

You were just being nice when you said my square was cute (smile).

I just made anafghan that was a similar idea..you could just crochet the squares "for fun" so to speak, or make a wholes sampler afghan. A friend gave me a large box of yaarn, and as she had started it, I finished it..loads of fun.....I think I'll do that ! Thanks...

just a question about your leftover sock yarn quilt...did you just do basic squares? Do you hav a picture of it? That could be fun..

At 9:09pm on February 11, 2009, Elianastar said…: I've been "off my yarn" for a little while. I still have to do the very last thing on my sampler, the Afterthought Pocket... cut into the knit fabric... YIKES! LOL! I've scrapped the idea of making my first sweater for my DG... the author encouraged that I not do that. She said it would really be best if I made my first sweater to fit myself and to look at it as an extension of the Sampler... purely a learning experience. Use cheap yarn that I don't care about and don't worry about the finished product... focus on experiencing the process more than about making it "right." I like that cuz I learned SO much from the Sampler, and I understand her thinking.

I've got some yarn I'd bought to make an afghan and have more than enough to make a sweater, from what the book says. But, I'm starting on a Norberta Dragon for DG first, then the sweater...

At 6:49pm on January 30, 2009, Elianastar said…: Thanks for the hat response... I had come to the conclusion that I must have missed the memo about using a negative ease for them, cuz I swatched, measured, calculated... had my husband check my math :-) ... and it still came out big. I made one for myself [crochet] in an extra chunky yarn from Rowan and it came out great. I made another [knit] for my daughter in a bulky yarn and it came out loose... not too loose to wear, but looser than she'd prefer. So, I still have plenty of the yarn to make another smaller one... I used Magic Loop, so I was gonna lose a repeat on each side, and I think that will be sufficient... I made another, a completely different design for my MIL and it was HUGE! That one will be just a little more complicated to reduce down, because of the pattern I put into it, but, it was so large I have a good idea how to do it and not screw up the pattern...

At 6:41pm on January 30, 2009, Elianastar said…: You see no pictures of my projects, because until about three weeks ago, when I joined the Community, I'd never had any reason to TAKE any! :-) It is on my ToDo list, but I've been working on the Sweater Workshop Sampler and battling migraines, so I haven't gotten to it just yet... soon... keep an eye out. :-)
