Wow! To-do + Purging

I was just going through the pattern database on Ravelry and inadvertently clicked on my own projects tab. Not that there's anything wrong with looking at my own projects, I just wasn't intending to at that moment. It's somewhat fortuitous--albeit stressful--that I did, though, because I had NO IDEA how far behind I am in updating my projects!. I don't even know how many projects I have completed since I last updated on Ravelry. Many of the project pages I have updated are missing pictures.

I am going to have to go through and address these deficiencies! I feel like it's important to put up pictures of projects, especially when I'm knitting patterns by independent designers. Assuming my rendition of a pattern turns out well, it will hopefully help the designer to sell more patterns. I think it also helps other knitters to see how a pattern knits up, and how it looks on different body types. I certainly benefit from this info as posted by other knitters--so I really do need to do my part in return.

In other news, I just spent a couple of hours going through my collection of handknits. I have decided to cull a bunch of things that I don't wear, and don't really like on myself. I'm not sure what to do with these items--give them away to other knitters, donate them to charity, or what. I guess I'll have to think about it....
