Ravelry!

Inspired by Farhad Manjoo's great article about Ravelry for Slate, I'm going to try to revive my account over there a bit. I just changed my user name there to katelinnea, to match how I'm listed everywhere else. If you're on there but I haven't added you, let me know! I have even recently finished knitting some things and will post pictures (both here and there). I KNOW. Don't die of shock.
