Carly & Ravelry

Well, after all my complaining about how hard friendships are in the last post, now I'm reconnecting with an old friend from HS! We lost contact sometime mid-college (she moved to Texas), but she's in the area for a week with her husband & parents, and Victoria told her to get a hold of me. They all came over last night to sample homebrew and eat homemade pizza (5 cheese with artichokes, and prosciutto with chicken sausage) & strawberry rhubarb crumble. We talked quite a bit, and I am taking them out to see the tidepools tomorrow morning, so I hope we'll get to catch up even more. I'll try to keep in touch better from now on, both with her and with a couple of my other HS/college friends in Portland & Seattle.

In other news, I finally got my Ravelry invite yesterday. I don't know why I didn't sign up for it ages ago when I first heard of the site, but I'm on there now. I'm disappointed in the photo aspects of it though, you can only put up pictures if you have flickr. Why not just make it possible to post any picture hosted elsewhere, be it photobucket or picasa or even your own blog or website? Seems easier and more universally applicable. So for now my ravelry page is boooring, no photos. Of course, I don't have photos of some of my gift-projects anyway, (4 scarves, a totebag, & a stuffed ant), sadly. I have so many things on my "to do" list, it's fairly ridiculous, so I don't think I'll put all those up, just the ones I actually have planned for the near future. But this is exciting, so many patterns at my fingertips!
