All Over The Place

April 19th, 2008 · 4 Comments

That is how I feel.  I can’t seem to keep a coherent thought or course of action for longer than 5 seconds minutes.  I have many things requiring focused attention at work, at home, with my business.  Yet, when I sit down at my computer, my mind quickly wanders to thoughts like…

  • Ravelry always has between 5000 - 8000 invites waiting every day.  If it’s true that they send out 800 - 1000 invites daily, where are they new people coming from to keep the total from reaching zero? 
  • When / if the total does reach zero will we finally know the total number of fiber lovers inhabiting the planet? 
  • Why is it that in spite of the huge number of Ravelers already part of the site, that nearly half the yarns I look up for customers at the store cannot be found?
  • Since Ravelry uses Fl*ickr to post images, what does Fl*ickr think of the numerous pictures posted of yarn, patterns, wips, and finished objects?  Is it possible that the fiber community could eventually take over Fl*ickr?
  • I love Interweave Knits, but since subscribing to Knitting Daily, I wonder if I should cancel my subscription.  I subscribe to IK for the patterns mostly.  But Knitting Daily keeps offering the best ones for free.  Makes me wonder if I’m wasting my money, if I’m willing to be patient for Interweave to offer it free at a later date.
  • I’m not a very patient person.  So the self-debate continues.
  • Am I the only one who sees a patterned window pane of an old door and wishes I had paper and pen to sketch it.  Thinking that it would make a fabulous sweater / scarf / lace / cable / detail?
  • I see potential knitted designs everywhere in very unknit like things.  I think it would be wonderful to have a group blog / flickr group that uses non-craft items to inspire creativity in their craft - knit, crochet, quilt, paint, etc..
  • Then I worry that no one else would see the value in that kind of group and I would be the only member.
  • Then I worry that such a group already exists and I am missing out.
  • I would love to have a little calendar on my blog.  But I don’t want to mess around with the coding.
  • I would love to change the look of my blog entirely.  But I don’t want to mess around with the coding.

See? I just can’t stop procrastinating stay focused.

    OMG no.
