Ravelry scratches the itch

I'd like to say it was worth the wait, but that would be cheating since I didn't actually have to suffer through an actual wait: a generous friend of mine let me see Ravelry through her eyes before my invite came.

Those of you who think the site sounds lame or that you don't need another thing to join in your life...stop it. Just sign up and wait til the invite comes before you judge the awesomeness site. You really can't judge it by the screenshots they put on the homepage.

I'll give a more full review later. Calling it a myspace for knitters isn't entirely wrong, but misses the boat in terms of its full value. I often think of it as myspace and wikipedia smushed together where 'myspace' = any of the social networking sites out there.
