Ravelraiser!

Well Ravelry has about taken over my pc knitting life. I hardly even blog anything anymore! Sorry to those of you who do read and enjoy my blog. I'd also like to apologize to those who wanted the pattern for the Bellagio mitts, the notes I took were limited and I can't seam to get my hubby to remember to bring them home even now that it's too warm to wear them. So... I will have to start over again and take better notes. Gail Knits here in Vegas has the Frog Tree alpaca yarn so I'll probably make myself a pair with that yarn. I really enjoyed the frog tree merino I used for my hubby's mitts.
It seams like I have 42 UFOs right now and we all know how much I hate UFOs but seams I have had startitis lately. I keep seeing fabulous patterns I want to make and grab some yarn and whip it up and then drop it at the finishing stage and pick something else up. Silly me. I've also been making a lot of new yarn purchases since Knit Las Vegas opened up right next to my mother in law's house so I've been scrounging at the bottom of my stash for projects to make with all my older yarn to justify the purchases to myself. Oldest out first just like stocks!
So pictures of about a million projects soon I promise!
For now how about a little about Ravelraiser
I am a certified Ravelraiser if you go to the groups tab on Ravelry and search Ravelraiser you'll find a group called ten lousy bucks. When you donate 10 lousy bucks you get entered into a raffel to win about a million fabulous prises. You have until the 25th of April to enter and every 10 bucks gets you an entry plus there is a little link to make yourself an avatar that says Ravelraiser on it or whatever else you like. I figured Ravelry has given me so much I wanted to give back. It's an amazing resource and especially now that they have the purchases available and it stores your purchased PDFs for you so if you accidentally delete it it's still available to you! woohoo!! It become part of your ravelry library. There are even free patterns done that way. Yippy! Wish I could add all my pdf patterns that way. Maybe they will add that in the future. And now the reveal my Ravelraiser really lame thoughtless avatar!
