As mentioned before, Ravelry.com is the worst time-sucking black hole social networking site for knitters. It's an addictive other world, complete with exclusivity (there's a wait list), inside slang, mascots (Bob the Boston Terrier), weird freaky group scenes (Knitters who love "Dexter"?) and a spider's web of links, projects, yarns, designers, patterns, heated discussion forums, stashes, queues, faves and so forth. It's non-profit, run on a shoestring, totally hip and very addictive. Did I mention I'm an addict?
Anyway, in a typical weird/goofy/knitting humor way, they're running the Ravelympics with knitting events and awards AND I WON ONE. (Of course, everyone who completes a project during the Olympics timeframe wins an award, but so what). So that's what the strange dog thing is in the sidebar over there. And this is what I knit to win it.
