Fresh Fish Served Daily

Got my invite for Ravelry yesterday. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s probably because you’re not a knitter. Because if you were a knitter, you would already be signed up on their waiting list. (Seriously. Everyone on the various knit/crochet communities I read has been talking about it.) It’s a place to keep track of your in-progress and completed projects, see what projects and yarns other people are using, read reviews, and join groups and add friends like your standard LJ/myspace crap. This is fabulous for me. I can’t think of a single time where I used the recommended yarn when doing a project, it’s usually too expensive. So I can find the pattern I’m looking for and see what yarns other people have used for theirs. It’ll also encourage me to keep up with my projects and take pictures. It hooks up to flickr for project pictures, with a neato drag and drop interface. I know my CS fellows will tell me that drag and drop is for n00bs, but I’ve gotten lazy in my old age.

Obviously I’ve also signed up for flickr. I hate to say it, because I always liked having my stuff on my own site before, but it’s way better than my gallery in it’s current state. I dig the group pools. That’ll be great to find pictures once Dragoncon rolls around. I still haven’t decided if I should try to revamp my gallery and use flickr for moblogging, or just switch over completely.
