The Most Fictional Fun I've Ever Had

I started this blog for a silly reason. You see, my best friend talked me into signing up for Ravelry and I needed a way to get photos into posts easily, and I couldn't figure out the tech angle. The only thing I worked out is that if they had a url already (like from a blog post) that I could easily get them where I wanted them. Hence, I started a blog specifically for fiber arts and to host photos of stuff I wanted to share there.

Have you played on Ravelry yet? Man, get on over there and dive in.

Anyway, I obviously got hooked. No pun intended. I filled up my queue with projects, loaded up on favorite patterns and added every fiber book I own (and some I want to own) into my Ravelry library.
I joined groups. I crocheted like a fiend for a month or two. I chatted about Once Upon A Time, Harry Potter, Literature, Amigurami, and Star Trek....

you know, all the cool stuff. :)

This last summer I even participated in the Ravelympics and earned a sweet medal in Shawl Sailing.
Check it out:

But by far the most fun I've discovered has been in something called: Ravel Trek

yeah, if you know me, you can hear the squeeing already.

They play Star Trek on Ravelry, and it. is. beyond. cool.
I joined Starfleet. I was a cadet at the academy, I got assigned to a ship, went on a deep space tour of duty and completed a few missions (including one disastrous away mission) all from the comfort of my laptop and with my thread and hook in hand.

I even printed out the Official Ravel Trek Star Fleet Fiber Corps New Recruit Guide.
In short, I geeked out.
Here is where you can play too:

And I have to show off my little badge for completing a mission:

Tiny crochet critters I made for the fair this year. More tiny ami things to come I feel. 

Just made this one for a Ravelry CAL

Friendship Shawls

My new Love. I'm going to do one for myself eventually, but with a more cloak/cape drape and using this delicious super bulky red yarn I was given. As long as possible and with a hood added if I can make the yarn stretch. THAT one will be inspired by the recent Red episode of Once Upon a Time...another of my favorite distractions. ;D

Wasting Time

Welcome to Unraveled.
If you know me, you'll notice one thing missing. That's because here is where I'll list, blog and share all the wondrous distractions that KEEP ME from writing. One of my favorites is fiber arts, and I got the name for the blog from my absolute newest distraction from working: Ravelry.com
If you do anything at all with fiber, yarn and needles or hooks or looms or what have you, then hop on over there and sign up. :)
Here are my latest projects of that variety:
