What happened to my avatar's head?
Why, it was Hat Day, of course! Ravelers who did not bring their own hats were supplied with loaner hats. Shame on you all - Jess, Mary-Heather, and I were the only ones who remembered our headgear. Jess and MH wore halos and I wore a fine chef's hat. I handed out hats willy nilly and we were all surprised by the number of perfect fits. If you spent all day surfing around the forums and looking at hats, don't feel bad. We all did. We've since taken our loaner hats back, so your heads are all back to normal. Or back to the way they were, at least. I couldn't fit all 50,000 hat wearers in this post so I made a tiny montage.

Are you really selling Ravelry?
No, of course not! That was only a rumor started by ktb38 and corroborated by meggle. I met meggle in person while she was wandering around Stitches West wearing a Completely Pointless and Arbitrary shirt. She is not to be trusted.
There are some strange books in my library!
Indeed! This was part of a special promotion. Unfortunately, we only received a paltry $2.81 for the 281 clickthroughs to the Fabio fan club and we decided to discontinue the program.
Did Julia Roberts really join Ravelry?
Maybe! She does knit, after all ;)
