ravelry

got my ravelry [1] invite today. decided to go with the newer trend in handle; pleochroic. i don't really feel very piranha-like these days, and i've grown tired of the sound of "pleonastic", but i still contain multitudes.

that's just what i needed, a new toy to explore. ohhh, they have a wiki! (i am still totally thrilled by wikis.) but honest, i did need to catalogue my stash, yup, yup.

[1] ravelry is for knitters, crocheters, designers, spinners, and dyers to keep track of their yarn, tools, and pattern information. and network with others similarly inclined. and drool over pretty projects.

*envy*

I've maxed out on new communities, but this still sounds entirely groovey.

oh, me too. i don't know that i will use its community aspects at all, that's not what attracted me -- it's the organizational features that i want. which are superior to using a regular spreadsheet because it has a database of yarns and patterns already, so i don't need to retype all of that. and i like to look at other people's pretties for inspiration, but i do that anyway, and it needn't be interactive, so it's not taking up community time.
