I think it's because it makes meaningful connections (people who knit the same thing), not just "be my friend" random ones.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03658570531652539325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444369.post-66417396295222321952007-09-27T00:00:00.000-05:002007-09-27T00:00:00.000-05:00Hey lady,I'm a medium long time stalker on your bl...Hey lady,<BR/>I'm a medium long time stalker on your blog and I understand the hate of online communities but I clicked your link to ravelry just because we're usually in tune and you sound equally as adamant about the no facebook rule as I do and lo and behold.. I'm counting down the people until my name is on the "has an account" side of the waiting list. It's going to be a long wait but I eagerly anticipate it. It looks like everything I already do but much more convenient! <BR/><BR/>Also, side note, I love your blog and your little f.pea stamp for your creations.<BR/>Cheers,<BR/>leahburnt rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16719252087594232267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444369.post-67230612195529033432007-09-26T21:49:00.000-05:002007-09-26T21:49:00.000-05:00People knit your patterns because they are yummy! ...People knit your patterns because they are yummy!

Such a warm fuzzy. I also like the centralized nature of the database - if I want to start a new pair of socks, I can look through all the sock patterns, rather than poring over old magazine issues, Knitty, Magknits, random blogs, etc. etc. It's actually a time SAVER!

Plus, I like to see what other people are knitting and queuing up. I agree that I'm worried about it being a popularity contest, but it seems to be okay so far. The forums can get a bit snarky but that can happen anywhere.

I like the way the stash feature fills in the amount you have, which makes it easy to see if you have enough to make a pattern. It does mean more time typing, and less knitting! But its fun, and my finished Mossy Jacket is there!! ;D!

Why? Because I had knit it a while ago and put it in my Ravelry database but could not remember which blog I had gotten it from. I am so glad that I can attribute it to the correct person now-whew! I'm relieved. Used to live in Raleigh on N. Boylan and then on Hudson.

I would actually get pissed that people were raving over it, but I couldn't check it out. When we got our invite, we swore that we wouldn't do the same. We love it, but didn't want to make others feel bad for not getting the invite. Raverly is so useful for finding patterns, yarn subs, & just being inspired. I've got my eye on some of your patterns because of the site. Gotta love that!<BR/>-LLola and Avahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03337394774901078530noreply@blogger.com
