:: July 19, 2007 Ravelry
I received my invitation shortly after Otto was born, and yesterday I finally got the time to sign up for Ravelry, which I first heard about it though Caro (who is now a volunteer editor for them - fancy!). Even though I'm not very knit-centric this site is a pure revelation, web 2.0 at its finest. You may have noticed people on Flickr taking endless pictures of yarn and thought Ravelry was just a stash-cataloging site, but it's WAY more than that. I love being able to see other people's incarnations of projects I'm working on (this could spell the end of the knitalong as we know it) and having a central place to keep everything I'd like to make someday. It's also a great way to stay exposed to the latest in the knitting world -- I've had to pare down my knit-blog reading to nearly nothing or else I'd be completely overwhelmed. I won't go on about it except to say that if you've ever taken a knit or crochet stitch in your life (or plan to!) you should sign up and wait for your invitation. A sewing/quilting version just HAS to be in the future, don't you think? Anyway, if you're already a member, look for me, kmel, and add me as a friend. posted by in Knitting
Comments I hope there's a sewing version in the future - it's so handy for knitting, I could _totally_ use something just like it for sewing. Posted by Kim U on July 19, 2007 11:28 AM I was just gushing about Ravelry myself - and I even emailed the designer and asked when they'd start the sewing site! Maybe we need a letter-writing campaign... (PS: I added you as a friend) Posted by rfg on July 19, 2007 12:43 PM I signed up just now, then checked my place on the list. I don't think I'm getting an invite anytime soon: # You are #18809 on the list. Posted by melanie on July 19, 2007 1:47 PM Congrats on the invite...but most especially on the baby! What a cutie!!

Do you think that we could really start a write-in campaign for them to start a sewing/fabric site as well? If they did, I would be in heaven! Posted by Dawn on July 20, 2007 3:53 PM |
