Yeah, I'm in!!!

I got my ravelry invite today!  I'm very excited to go exploring on the site and set up my account.  There are a few preparations I have to make though. 

I must find the charger for my camera. (This has been a super bummmer side-effect of the move.  We're pretty much unpacked and I still can't find it!)

I must put together a cheapo light box (I found a few instructions for this online) and take good photos of my stash, WIP, FO's, etc.

I must sign up for a flickr account.  (I think this will be a good thing for my blog as well.  Most of the reason I haven't been blogging is because my current method for photo resize and upload is so tedious. )

 Finally and most important... I must get the internet working in my new apartment.  (OG is kind of working on this, but not really.  It wouldn't necessarilly be a problem except that I just got my ravelry invite so I need to get online with my computer!!!)

 So, it seems that at least the first three items could get taken care of before the end of the weekend.  Tonight I'm going to head out with a fiber friend to a Sip nStitch in Santa Monica and tomorrow we're going out to the valley to do spinning demo for some Girl Scouts event.  I really have no clue what it's all about, except that I haven't touched my wheel in so long and I'm so excited to get a whole day dedicated to spinning, not only with friends, but in the lovely outdoors.  It's supposed to be beautiful and in the mid 70's tomorrow.  So excited!

Wouldn't you know it... just hours after I was accepted into ravelry, their server went down.  Waaaaahh!

You have so much fiber fun, Jill! Where is the Sip n Stitch? Are you going to John's fiber reactive dye class at Weaver's Cottage?

Don't forget to tell us your username on Ravelry. Mine is midpath!

my username is of course oboegoddess ;-) I've been using that handle for a long time, so even though it has nothing to do with my new hobbies, at least I'll be easily recognizable.

The sip n stitch is at Compatto. You should hop on the bus down Wilshire and meet us there...I've never been there, but Jill's on their email list. And re: John's class, I didn't sign up cause it conflicts with the spinning demo. I probably should have opted for the class, but I had already kind of committed by the time I got the email from Weaver's Cottage. I still have pre-paid for 2 two classes. Need to use them up at some point...
