Today I partied with all those crazy activists I’ve spent the last 18 years protesting with, went to a big concert, met Shepherd Fairey, spent a few hours with hundreds of thousands of my closest friends, and breathed the same air as Denzel. Not necessarily in that order. At the We are One concert (which you’ve no doubt watched by now, courtesy of HBO) I didn’t stay in any one place for long because I was enjoying the aimless meandering and the people-watching. I looped back to the Washington Monument in time to see these cool women singing their hearts out. I took a few pictures of them but most are blurry because watching them was making me laugh and cry at the same time.
That’s my favorite image of the day so it’s the only one I’m going to share now.
ZOMFG you met Shepherd Fairey??? Can I touch you?
First, let me say that I’m a huge fan of your posts. You’re on my List Of Ravelry Favorites, and I often share your stuff with my knitting friends.
I am writing everyone on my Favorites List with a couple of questions. If you can answer them for me, it would be a HUGE HUGE HUGE favor. Really HUGE.
Thing is, I am writing a piece on Ravelry for my college magazine. Topic is WHY Ravelry is such a huge success. I need opinions from fellow Ravelers like you to back up this claim I am making.
These are the questions:
1) Why did you choose to join Ravelry?
2) How did you learn about Ravelry?
3) What does Ravelry give you that other sites don’t?
4) Absolutely anything else you’d like to share with me on this subject.
My quandary is this: I love the site and come here almost every week to look for knitting tips and ideas. (I haven’t joined yet, as I am too shy to talk of my own work…)
I want to understand why others do the same. Each person must have his or her own reason and I am very curious to understand this trend.
Once I write the piece, I intend to send it across to Bob the dog. Maybe, he will post it on the site to encourage newcomers or even use it for other promotion purposes.
Thank you in advance
Keep writing, keep sharing, keep creating
Warmest regards
Cynthia
