Lots of Knittin'

Hey everyone!

So I have really been kicking it out on the Pleasing Ponchette for my wife. Since my last post only a couple days ago, I've started the second panel, completed ALL of the increases and then did the first 9 inches of straight knitting. I have to do 21 inches of straight knitting total then I do decreases, bind off, and seam the two panels together.

So I've been productive.

:-)

Take care,
Joel

Growing and Going

So... when I last posted less than a month ago, we had nearly 35 members in S-M-A-C-K! It's grown to over 50 now. So while it's not maintained the initial rate of growth, it is still growing and as of yet, I've not added another moderator.

In project news:

I've finished the first panel of Rebekah's Pleasing Ponchette and posted photos in Flckr / Ravelry. One more identical panel to make and then I can seam the two panels together. Rebekah seems to be liking how it's coming out thus far. So that's good. I'm hoping that maybe I can finish this by Christmas but we'll see. Today is 12/01.. so that doesn't give me a ton of time to work on it.

SMACK!

What a trip. I only started the SMACKS group on Ravelry about 2 days ago and it's already up to nearly 35 members. It will be interesting to see how this continues to pan out over the next few months. I have to wonder...

• Will it grow to several hundred members?
• Will I need to get help moderating it?
• What projects will be shared with the group?
• What stories will be told?
• What friendships will be made?
