Bizarre Bazaar and ravelry.com

The registration form just came for Bizarre Bazaar! This will be my first "official" show to sell things...I am going to be very busy this summer! The show is on November 29th. I am very exctied about it and nervous too. I am still tossing around ideas of things to make so have to get those creative juices flowing.

I went to Wichita last weekend to see my baby cousin and her baby. He is so adorable! There is a new yarn store there called Twist. It was adorable and I scored some awesome yarn! They also introducted me to www.ravelry.com I had a log-in but had not checked out the site much. It is very cool! If you have some yarn and are not sure what to do with it, you can type in the name and see what other people are making! Also, if you have a pattern from a popular book you can see how other people have made it. That was a great feature as I did not have the book with me and wanted to check out the yarn for it. The demand for log-ins is so great that there is a waiting list but it is definately worth the wait. You can also find local yarnaholics and Stitch and Bitch type group. There are groups for everything on there. It is a great community!
