http://www.cogknition.org/life/ravelry/ I knit (and crochet!), therefore I blog.

It's a very very useful online project notebook that centralizes all your projects with your blog and makes it easy to find who's knitted what. Say I'm looking to make something with my 8 skeins of Karabella Breeze, but I have no ideas. I can look and see what everybody who has knitted with it has made. Or if I want to make the Jemima sweater and I want to see what colors or other yarns people used. You can do that. Plus you can talk to people through private messages or forums. It's fab, I promise! :) Ravelry isn’t anything like a myspace or social networking thing.

I don't do the social sites very much, I find them boring. I also find Ravelry keeps me honest and a bit more monogomous with my projects because I want to check them off as complete on Ravelry. Huge listmaking geeks paradise really. I agree with Alex and Ellen, I find Ravelry very useful and fun. I don’t do the social sites very much, I find them boring.

I have been on there for a few months now and it's pretty addicting. I'd be pretty lost without it at this point... by the way, I don't like social networking sites either, especially MySpace... but Ravelry's different. Ravelry is fabulous!

Ravelry is actually useful, though. You can use it just for stash or needle organization, you can look up patterns/yarns you want to use and see others' opinions and results, and you can use it for social networking (messaging, forums). It's pretty cool. I don’t like social networking sites like Myspace, either. Ravelry is actually useful, though.
