Your picture is right now a topic on a Norwegian forum for knitters, and we all think your picture is innocent and funny! Keep up the knitting and have a great evening.

Of course you should obey the rules of Ravlery (which is a great site and its FREE, so we should OBEY)… but c’mon. Its the human body, and no naked ‘bits’ as you put it. I’ve seen stuff about 100 times worse on myspace.

I thought it was very funny. Also, it cannot be seriously considered that it would offend anyone. I think the person who told you to remove it was being over zealous in applying the rules. From the side of the pond you Americans are very strange-guns and murder all over but a little bit of flesh gets you all foaming at the mouth(i.e. Ms Jackson) Yes, before you say it, I know not all of you!

Anyways, the avatar rocks, so keep it. I love it and many others do too. It brings a smile to my face everytime I see it.

Personally I love the pic and am not offended by it, but obviously there are those who are.

For all anyone knows, you may have a skin-tone speedo on.

Messenger Bag and Avatar
Sent at 9:32 PM September 23, 2007

Hi Stephen. I would like to let you know that I think your messenger bag is great. I plan to start one in the not-to-distant future. I think the incorporation of the bicycle tube is a stroke of knitterly genius!

Also, I hope not to offend you, but could you please change your avatar picture? The Ravelry community guidelines are posted here:

http://www.ravelry.com/about/guidelines

States: ravelry is for all ages

* No naked avatars! Naughty bits will get your avatar turned off.
* Remember that ‘mature content’ settings haven’t arrived yet.

I will be teaching classes at one of our LYS’s soon and hope to introduce each of the students to Ravelry while in class. I’d hate to have any of the little, old ladies swoon or have a heart attack and get an injury of some sort…or to shock anyone, especially a child. I’d also hate to see your avatar totally turned off by the Ravelry gang.

I did really get a big laugh though. When there is the link on the Patterns page to see all the designers and your avatar is the very first, I laughed so hard my husband came in from the other room to see what was so very funny (because you nearly do get to see all the designer). And, if you start the bathtub picture trend, I’m sure that many of the pictures won’t be anything we’d want to see. ; )

Have a great upcoming week!

**************************

No, I’m not a prude….my husband and friends would howl at that one! I may live in a different area of the country and have different beliefs, but that doesn’t mean that I’m angry, spiteful, or judgmental. We have many gay friends that we love dearly and the majority of our wedding party were gay.

Obviously, I read this blog, too….and many others. ; )

Just as many of you don’t appreciate being cateorized based upon incorrect stereotypes, I’d appreciate the same courtesy. It is painful when the effort to get to know someone isn’t applied and sweeping judgments are made with no true knowledge.

I do have strong beliefs in a loving heavenly father, but not a faith full of judgment or hypocrisy.

And, thanks Stephen for not putting a link to my blog or Ravelry info. I think I might have been flooded with slams before anyone got to know me at all. Although, I hope I am wrong.

I’m really looking forward to cooler temps and loads of quality knitting time. I also hope to make many new friends here and through Ravelry.

Knit to your heart’s content!
