Designs
I'm "officially" a pattern designer... I just listed my first design on Ravelry, a scarf I made for my son last fall. Its the Dragon Scale Scarf on Ravelry. If you aren't on Ravelry (shocking really!) Leave a comment or drop me an email and I'll send you a copy for free.

A day of days
Yesterday was quite a day… I think I managed to re-injure my ankle slightly. While stretching I felt a pop and then could barely walk until I loaded up on ibuprofen.
I had to call a plumber for the second time in a month, at $400 a visit, because my shower and toilets backed up. Apparently, there was a blockage in the main line… again. I do not understand where this is coming from because Ethan is not flushing things down the toilet. The first time it was apparently caused by a 20-year accumulation of lint. This time, we never found out what it was.
Ethan had his first day of Peewee Baseball. Basically, they spend an hour corralling 30 four to six year olds while attempting to teach them baseball skills. He had fun and was very excited, but I think he needs to work on his listening skills.
After all that, I came home and found a surprise waiting in my mailbox. On Ravelry I am a member of a group called Random Acts of Kindness. Each month, members post their “wish list” and one of the items I wished for was knit and crochet magazines. Katalina sent me a surprise package with 5 knitting magazines and some tea. Thanks Katalina!

Ravelraiser 2008
I am in awe. Ravelry, an online community for knitters and crocheters, is the brain child of a couple from Boston, funded mostly by specialized affiliates and advertising. A group of Ravelry users decided to start a fund raiser because a new server was needed to host the database... Ravelry is growing so fast! The goal was to raise $10,000 in the month of April. As of today, April 9, more than $29,000 has been raised. The initial goal was met in a mere 4 days!
This just reaffirms my belief that knitters and crocheters are some of the most generous people out there and that a lot of people doing just a little bit can add up fast. Casey and Jess have worked so hard to create this wonderful resource for knitters and crocheters, they deserve this. Congrats!
