I have found Ravelry!!

I finally got off my butt and signed up with Ravelry. I can't believe it took me so long!! I am really enjoying looking at everyone's projects and reading all the tips and tricks. I particularly like that you can look at others finished objects to see what they look like 'in the real world' and not just the professionally photographed, professionally crafted items you see in the patterns. It gives me the confidence in some instances to try something that I would have thought was too difficult or above my skill level. It also helps to pull me out of my comfort zone and stretch my abilities, thus learning new skills.

There are so many talented people out there, and some really wonderful projects to try. I really like that there are so many free patterns as well. I can get my crafty fix without breaking the bank - we all know how expensive patterns and yarn can be.

You will find me at Ravelry as HoneyBeeMine.

Finally an update on the colour me blanket......I have finished the second crayon (a blue one) and I am now working on the yellow one. There are a million ends to weave in, and that is driving me crazy. Other than that I am still enamoured with the blanket and I am hoping the recipient is too.
