I'm in!

I know your thinking this is a shameless post about finally getting into the "Big R" (ravelry) But, you know I'm already there. If not, you should add me (dixieredhead)

Anywho, I'm IN @ yarnpirate. Whats that? You mean you aren't in the know? Simply a cool place to get a monthly stash enhancement without worry! Signups were this afternoon @ 4pm PST. I sat round the house waiting...and waiting...and waiting. But, it wasn't in vain. I'm in. And, can now wait...until said enhancement comes knocking on my door. YAYS! you could always join, too! come on over, if there is still room.
