Go Team Ravelry!

Casey and Jess made the announcement today on the Ravelry blog - so the word is officially out: I'm working for Ravelry!  I just cannot put into words how excited I am to have joined Jess and Casey (and Bob!) as a Ravelry employee.  I love Ravelry - I've been a member since last May (May 7, to be exact) and, from the very first time I logged on, I was hooked.  I really believe in the community that Jess and Casey have built, and I have loved helping with the website as a member/volunteer/helper, and getting to know the Ravelry workings has been so much fun.  Casey and Jess are great people - I'm happy to call them my friends, and I'm thrilled to get started on my dream job.

 Yay!

I'm a Ravelry user, and I'm thrilled to hear that you'll be helping out the wonderfully gifted folks who have developed and mostly voluntarily given us yarn-oholics such a great community! Thanks!

Mary-Heather,
Congratulations on the new job! I'm sure Jess & Casey(and Bob, if you send him a treat from LA now & again) are as thrilled about it as you are.
And as Christie asked, are you moving? Or are you representing the West Coast?
March 5, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterliz
Staying here in LA - Ravelry is represented on both coasts now. :)

Congrats MH! And Jess and Casey, as well! They could not have picked a better person for their team!

If I didn't think you were the perfect person for the "dream job", I'd be insanely jealous! Tell the truth, I am just a little bit anyway!
