Solitary Crafter, Even Online

I figured it was time to start meeting people who knit and crochet so I wouldn't feel so isolated. The problem is that I'm shy. Walking into a LYS to introduce myself and ask if they have a knitting group is just not going to happen. So the perfect solution? The Internet of course! I joined Crochet Me and Ravelry so I could interact with others who share my interests. It was going to be great! I was going to make new friends! I was going to have people to support me when a project wasn't going right or was just taking too darn long!

Funny thing timidity. It doesn't go away with anonymity. So I cruise through the forums, peek in on discussions, and envy the camaraderie. Then I turn off the computer, curl up on the couch with the latest project and work away in solitude.
