Gail, the owner of my local yarn shop, suggested I become a member of Ravelry -- an online knitting and crocheting community. I became a member quite a while back and I spend a lot of time checking out the patterns people have posted there. I don't, however, spend much time looking at what others have completed. To be more clear, when I choose a pattern to knit, I don't check what others had to say about the pattern or what others' finished patterns look like.
All that changed on July 4, 2013.
That's the day I spent some time with a former classmate who told me to become "friends" with her on Ravelry. I did and saw a lot of her projects posted.
It's fun to see what other people are knitting and what they think of the whole project. Also, since I have difficulty putting colors together, I like seeing what other people come up with. So, I decided to post my current works in progress -- there are three of them: 2 sweaters and a baby blanket. Somehow, posting them online motivates me just a bit more to get the job done and update my progress. We'll see how it goes.
If you want to check it out, I am kgwilson on Ravelry.
