After a few years as a member, I can't imagine what my life would be like without that community of crafters. I wouldn't be able to knit the things I'm knitting, I wouldn't use the yarn I'm knitting with now. I wouldn't be spinning, or knitting with my handspun. I wouldn't be able to give the gifts I'm making my loved ones, and I wouldn't be able to survive on the ideas my head keeps having while waiting for the world to catch up with my needs.
I wouldn't have met a number of interesting people, learned new techniques or even thought about sending a fabric postcard to the other side of the world.*

Imagine this blog without the existence of Ravelry... oh 't would be a barren place...
So much for the Stunned part of this blog post. On with the Floor...
Last week I've spent mostly feeling like a wet dish cloth** not quite ill enough to call in sick, but miserable enough to be exhausted from blowing my nose and coughing up bits of lung with only a hint of a raised temperature, some of the time. Too tired to knit, but not tired enough to nap, if you know the feeling... Just blegh, is how I describe it. I tried spinning
But I didn't get very far. Bored, restless, floored.
I knit an entire Tomten the Third sleeve. It's a baby jacket, in baby size. Short arms and such. I did one in 3 days. That's it.
I managed to take a few pictures of it. Those will have to do.
If you need me, I'll be on the floor, recovering.
*not got my head around that one yet. Give it time...
**a Dutch saying.

The colors for the jacket are beautiful! No rush on the fiber postcard, we have a whole month!
It occurred to me that someday you and I will both be living in the United states, just a few thousand miles apart. We could practically get together for coffee someday!
