Hello RCTYers!

I've made a few posts on here since I "came out" of lurkdom a couple of
weeks ago. But some of you may have missed that, so I thought I'd post
again and tell you-all a little bit more about myself.

My name is Myka. I live in Atlanta, GA with my husband. We are both
students at Emory University. My dad taught me how to crochet when I was
about 10 or 11 (I don't really remember!), but it wasn't until I was 18
that
I really started doing something with it. A friend tried to teach me to
knit when I was 11, but it didn't go very far. Recently, a friend from
church loaned me "Zen and the Art of Knitting," which inspired me to pick
up
the needles again. I am now within hours of finishing my first knitting
project! I signed up to do the 6x6 this month, which I am really, really
excited about! After reading all the stuff you guys post, I think this is
a
pretty great NG, even if there are evil spies out there who collect e-mail
addresses and bombard us all with virus-infected junk. I'll try to keep
up
with everything that's going on here, but I may never be as vocal as some
of
you! (In general I am a pretty shy, introverted person.)

With all that being said, I wanted to re-post an invitation that I made a
few days ago. . . Perhaps some of you who didn't respond before will speak
up now that you know me a little bit better. . .

I KNOW there are yarn packrats out there like me. . . Too attached to that
last little bit of yarn leftover from a skein. You can't just throw it
away! But there's nothing to do with it. Well, all that saving has not
been in vain because now there is something to do with small bits of yarn,
thread, floss, strips of fabric--anything that is weavable!

I heard about this really interesting thing called The Thread Project at
church last Sunday. Basically, it is an international project to create
cloths woven with pieces of "thread" sent in by people from all over the
world. These cloths are meant to symbolize the diversity and unity of our
world and will hang in embassies and government buildings world-wide. I
believe the first cloth is currently hanging in the UN (I could be wrong).
All you have to do is send a piece of
thread/yarn/floss/strip-of-fabric/etc., 12-72 inches in length, along with
a
story (I'm sure a couple of sentences would be fine) about where it came
from or if it has any significance. I am willing to collect these (in
other
words, I'd contact you offsite with my snail for you to send me your
thread
and story) and send them to the Thread Project HQ.

Their website is www.threadproject.com and has lots of information and
pictures!

So, please, think about contributing. Post here if you want to be
involved
and I'll e-mail you offsite with my snail. Or you can try to e-mail me
off-site if you can figure out the secret code that I've encrypted my
e-mail
with. I've already gotten 2 enthusiastic 'yes'es. . . How 'bout a few
more?

Blessings,
Myka

Welcome again, Myka! And, you already know I'm one of the ones who are IN.
My oldest DD lives in Marietta!!
Hugs,
Noreen

Sorry, forgot to include my signature on that last post which gives the clue
about decoding my e-mail!

And since my 6x6 partner had some trouble figuring it out, I'll give an
added hint:
JustUnderNineOlives=juno
