So I basically, I decided to start a blog because I want to record the things that happen to me, even though they usually aren't very interesting, and so that way I can write about things that I get excited about even if no one else does. That was like the longest run on sentence ever. Anyway, this is basically to satisfy my need of sharing things with people because some of the things I get excited about, aren't exciting to others. Even it no one reads this, at least I'll know it's recorded somewhere.

For my first post, I would like to talk about the coolest website that I just found out about. First, you will need a little background info on me, though.

I have recently taken up a new hobby. It is something that I always knew how to do, but never really developed the skill. That would be crocheting. I've already made a few things and I really really like it. I'm a person who always needs to be doing something and I liked to feel accomplished so this is a good hobby for me.

This website that I am talking about is called Ravelry. I don't even think I know how to say it, so its better to write about it anyway =]. It is a website where you can record all of your projects, and everything about them, add favorite projects from others, get patterns, etc. It truly is a crocheters paradise. I was thinking of getting together a portfolio but that would be a to design all the sheets and I don't have any color ink so I don't know where I'd get it printed.

Another cool site that is a little more well-known is etsy. That has everything imaginable on there and I spend hours on it. I love it. If I have one talent, I must say I am fairly crafty. It may not be much, but at least its something.

Here are some screenshots of Ravelry:

These are my projects so far, including those I'm working on right now.

These are the things in my queue, which means things that I am going to make in the future.

I just love this website and I just had to share it with something/someone! =D
