Me~ I am on Ravelry. Same user name. Video knitting podcast junkie. KAL (knit a long) junkie. Contest entering (and winning) knitter. This month I plan to knit 2 small shawls, several stuffies, and at least 1 pair of socks!

What do you like to knit? Do you like podcasts? What is your favorite yarn?

Oh wow! You're super advanced! I'm still starting out, just tried my first lace hat pattern last week. I'm in the middle of knitting hat/scarf sets for holiday gifts this year.

I just read about a KAL pattern but had no idea what it was! Thanks for the info! What are contests like? I'm not good enough for that yet, but I"d like to be. Hopefully soon.

As for favorite yarn, I have some leftover baby alpaca that I got a loooooong time ago that I keep around just to pet. I've got my eye on some knit picks Galileo merino/bamboo that looks neat, and I"m having a friend hand spin some yarn for me from a batt I got on Etsy. I'm looking for something that will show off a cable and lace pattern well. What do you like to use?

What's a stuffie?

I just joined! What a great site. Even though I am supposed to be spending less time away from my school books, handwork is so easy to do while I am reading.

I am softlanding on ravelry.

My favorite yarn shop on line is Desert Vista Dyeworks

A lot of the knit a longs (KAL) have prizes. You post a picture of your final project to enter.
You can look at my list of groups on my about me page. They are listed down the left side. Many of them are podcast groups.

I have only been knitting for 2 years. I use you tube videos to see how to do things. You can also ask questions on Ravelry. People usually answer pretty quick.

sweeeeeeet! I'm currently in the middle of a conundrum with my knitting. There's a pattern I want to start that uses both yo and yf. From what I can tell, they're both a yarnover!
