I just have to jump on the bandwagon with everyone else about this wonderful site--Ravelry! When I joined back in July of 2007, it was still pretty new, although I had been hearing about it on all of the podcasts. Since then, it has exploded in numbers--and it is still in beta stage. I cannot imagine how big it is going to be once it goes public.
I have met some wonderful people on it and it is so nice to be able to see what other people are doing with their yarns and what patterns are popular. I'm so glad that Casey and Jess started this site (and I have put my money where my mouth is; I have donated to Ravelry and have bought a t-shirt and buttons.)
The only problem with Ravelry is how it manages to aggravate the serious case of "startitis" that I have. I see some beautiful projects that people have done and I just want to follow suit. And that is nothing to compare with how bad the stash has gotten after reading and seeing some of the yarns that are out in the whole, big, wide world of fiber. Prior to Ravelry and podcasts, I had never even heard of Wollmeise, but honey, let me tell you, a monster was created when I first laid eyes on a photograph of Wollmeise.
Now, if I could just figure out how to make more hours in the day so that I could knit, spin, and play with Ravelry (oh yeah, and I guess work, and eat, and sleep...)
