As many of you may or may not know, I knit. I have been knitting for about three years now, but have yet to try anything more difficult than a scarf. I have used many different types of yarn and attempted lots of scarf variations. I have decided to graduate to shawls and hats now.
A friend recently told me about Ravelry, an online community for knitters, crocheters, and other crafty folks. After about four days waiting for my invitation I am officially a member! I already love the website and can not wait to start making some of the projects in my queue. I found two groups for knitters in Turkey and Istanbul, and have some great ideas for where to buy my yarn. I also happened to spot a group called 52 Books in 52 Weeks. Of course my bookworm heart gave a cry of joy and I immediately joined. I already read non-stop, but this will be an exciting challenge for me.
My first book will be “Never Let Me Go” by Kazuo Ishiguro. It will actually be my warm-up read because I am reading it now 
. It will be my “unofficial” first I guess (53 books in 53 weeks). I will give you my opinions and musings as I read my 52 books (without giving too much away of course). If you would also like to take up the challenge let me know. You do not have to join Ravelry, but I would love to hear about your reading odyssey as well 
.
