When I’m not teaching, writing courses, or zooming around SL, one of my hobbies is knitting, which I started about eight years ago. I am a member of Ravelry http://www.ravelry.com , an online community (think Facebook for knitters, only better) and today the Second Lifers (a Ravelry group) held their first in-world meeting of RL knitters.
The venue was Yarnation http://slurl.com/secondlife/Woodsong/160/101/22 , a beautifully crafted woodland cabin designed and owned by Thely Anansi. The room includes a pinboard where visitors can upload photos of their knitting projects, a photo gallery of designs and yarns, and a scripted spinning wheel to sit at. The atmosphere is very calming and I had a great time chatting (in text) to Thely and the other knitters who popped by.

Very nice!!
