There is already a butch/femme group on ravelry. It has almost no activity, but it's there.

maryam · 04-29-2013, 05:54 PM

Would you mind tossing a link out there? I've searched all the keywords I can think of, and I've got nada.

So now I'm laughing at myself... I went to go login to Rav for the first time since before Christmas and I can't remember my password, or apparently my email! I know it's been a while, but really? I only have two junk emails that I use to register for stuff and neither one of them is working!

Thank you Ami for the link! I am going to try the cute catnip bunnies and mice, they are so cute in rainbow colors!!

Will probably be on there all night looking at all the great projects.

1) Ravelry is yarn/knitting porn!

And I love it!

2) I'm on the 13th washcloth and I'm already tired of this project. I have 62 more wascloths to make.

3) I'm hoping my "sisters of the yarn" will tell me about their projects to help distract me

So everybody what are you working on??

Ha, have you discovered knitting podcasts who have knit a longs and have contests and prizes? My prize total so far this year is over 120 dollars. Mostly winning patterns of my choice, a few skeins of yarn and stitch markers!

There are knitting podcasts for everyone's tastes. These are some of my favorites that can be found on their blogs, itunes, or on ravelry

knit spin farm
the fat squirrel speaks
the stockenette zombies
the knit girllls (3 L's)
yarnivore
knitting in circles
dramatic knits
knitting in cirlces
twisted strands

I am making this turtle in orange and green
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/turtle-turtle

along with 3 shawls on the needles, another toy, a pair of socks and a cowl.

Mopsie · 05-09-2013, 07:20 AM

Oh Ami I think I love you! In a very yarn positive way of course!

First, let me just say that that turtle is too adorable. Really cute. Hope you post a picture when you get done.

Second, thanks for all the ideas to check out - I may never come up for air!

Third, how many projects can you do at a time?? I want to see the other ones when they get done too!

maryam · 05-15-2013, 10:15 PM

Okay I gave up trying to remember myself on Ravelry, so I've registered and found the group, but it's kind of um, quiet.... If you'd like a friend, let me know and I'll add you. Or I'll send you my username and you can add me. You'll probably guess it's me if you're in the group, since it's pretty much the same name....

Thanks! My ravelry username is Mopsiehoney... I don't have any friends on there yet.

I don't have any pictures up ... I do everything by smartphone (no computer) and I'm not very good at adding pictures.

And you're right it is pretty quiet ... I also joined a queer group that is a bit more active.

See you there!

maryam · 05-20-2013, 11:27 PM

I started a Kitty Pi last night...

Yep, it's the really cute cat bed! I'm not doing the fun fur part though, because one of my girls over grooms too much and she'll eat it. I took some pictures yesterday, but haven't gotten them uploaded yet. It's going really fast!
