Ravelry

I'm so excited--I finally got my invitation to join Ravelry! Last night I just started to list some of my works in progress and my stash and realized I now face a terrible dilemma: Do I spend my time actually knitting or spend it recording what I've been knitting and what I want to knit? I really, really wish I could clone myself--especially if I could send some sort of drone clone to the office and to do the laundry!

My Ravelry name is alwaysknitting. They warn you that you can't change your name, and I dithered about it for a while. It's hard to imagine what name will bear the test of time. I tried just the boring but utilitarian Melissa, but it was already taken, as was MelissaKnits. And the name I often use for other online stuff, Macnmum, I fear is no longer as appropriate as when Mac still fit on my hip (lo those many years ago). At nearly 15, he's taller than I am, though I still have many, many pounds on him.
