AWESOME. I applied to be a beta tester for Ravelry some time ago and today I finally got my invite. It’s a “Web 2.0” application (i.e. Flickr) for knitters and crocheters. I’m having a look around now and – wow – I could be spending a LOT of time on this site. If you want to see what it’s all about, they’ve just posted a sneek peak with lots of screenshots.
Edited to Add: I’m really pleased with the site so far. I sent an e-mail to Casey this morning asking whether they’ll be alternatives to using Flickr for your photos, and he wrote back (really quickly!) to confirm that there definitely will be. He also offered to give me “editor access” so I can upload a lot of the Australian wools and patterns missing from the site.

Thank you again for that pair of Knit Picks 2.5mm circulars that you sold me last week. The sock I am knitting with them is up on Ravelry here in case you wanted to see what they were doing: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Roceal/wild-kat. 🙂
