Here’s something that happened last week, which just amazes me.

On Monday last, I posted my Stripey Noro Messenger Bag pictures and pattern on Ravelry. I also queued up a post about it for my blog, for Wednesday. On Ravelry, people can mark a project or pattern as a favourite – it’s kind of like bookmarking it – which puts little hearts on the project or pattern in question. So there were little hearts showing up on my bag project and the pattern, people downloading the pattern, people sending me comments. It was quite fun to see that people liked my bag. (The first download was minutes after I posted the pattern. Talk about instant gratification!)

The amazing thing was that on Thursday, a knitter and Ravelry member on the other side of the world let me know that her knitting group had decided to have a KAL (knit-a-long) with my bag pattern. I think this is so cool!

And I can’t wait to see their finished bags. 🙂
