Twittering Ravelry: May 21!

There's a bunch of people talking about trying to get Ravelry and knitting into Twitter's trending topics (never really paid much attention to them, myself); apparently it all started with someone from Blink 182 tweeting something about knitting, it went to the number one trending topic... and soon the cry went up, "Let's tweet Ravelry!" So don't be surprised on the 21st when you see a tweet from me that may or may not have a "#Ravelry #knitting" in it, which apparently is some sort of tagging shortcut. I'm confused, but I'm in!

Technology and knitting.

I knit. I want to sell hand knit items on Etsy. I'm a member of an online knit/crochet community. I buy many of my knitting needles online. I learn new stitches by watching videos on youtube... and now I've got the blog and the Twitter and the widgets and the social networking and all that, as well! Before I learned to knit, I thought knitting was about sharp sticks and string - ha!

I thought the dichotomy was rich when I got "Merino" (as I will refer to my darling fiance, the best guy in the entire world, who supports my Knitting Madness wholeheartedly, loves me, and brags about the hat I knit for him) a satellite radio for Christmas and he got me a record player. Oh, and last Christmas, he got me a swift and a ball winder and I got him a Blu-Ray player!

I'm embracing all aspects of this Knitting in the Modern World, even if it's a lot to get one's arms around!
