We are now inviting 500-600 users a day!

So that is cool -- with luck I might be in by the weekend, and hopefully any of you who are behind me in the waiting list won't have too horribly long to wait either. (As always, you can use http://www.ravelry.com/antsy/ to see where you are in the queue.)

(Yes, I should be in bed.)

I'm making Ezra a hat for his birthday, which is on October 13. He's turning four! I'm using the 'Luggy Hat' pattern from Weekend Knitting (cgoldfish -- this is the pattern I used to make your hat) except instead of hearts or stars I'm going to have red cars. (Ezra really likes the Pixar movie.) I made some of it then had to tear it all out again because it was looking way too big; restarting again with #3 needles (vs. the #6 needles called for in the pattern instructions) seems to be working better.

I'm also working on some chevron socks, but I am feeling a bit bored with them right now. Hopefully a little break from them will reverse this.

Ooh, I've moved up 10,000 in the Ravelry queue; I'm now only 14,000th in line.

I'm thinking of making Eddie a hat for winter, and need a good pattern. I might ask my crochet teacher (if we actually have the class, these things always get cancelled) for an idea.

I signed up on, erm, September 19. "19705 people are ahead of you in line."

Good thing I brought my knitting.

About a month to go! Unless they speed up some more.

There are a mere 1324 people ahead of me in line, whee!
