    Ravelry.com - A Social Network For Knitters

    ravelry

    Knitting circles have recently experienced an upsurge in popularity, especially amongst the college crowd. Ravelry is a brand new network dedicated to the art of needlework, be it knitting, spinning, crocheting, or weaving. Right now the site is in private beta, so if you´re looking to join, you´ll need an invitation-- Ravelry´s got a small staff and they´re still in the process of building the site. If you do get past the invite waiting list and get your own account, you´ll get access to a wealth of resources. No longer will you have to search the web, looking for gauges and pattern adjustment explanations. With Ravlery, you´ll be able to organize all your projects and showcase them to fellow ravelers; you´ll also get a chance to meet people with similar interest. There are project notebooks, details, Flickr integration, comments, Stash (to show off your yarn stash) with Excel integration, and much more. Ravelry will be free, sponsored by targeted ads.

    In their own words

    “Ravelry is a place for knitters, crocheters, designers, spinners, and dyers to keep track of their yarn, tools and pattern information, and look to others for ideas and inspiration.

    Why it might be a killer

    Knitting along with DIY crafting have become hugely popular. There are a lot of budding knitters out there. Ravelry´s already garnered quite a bit of interestâ€"there´s already a waiting list for invites. Once the site is fully up and running I imagine it could be the one stop place for knitters, designers, etc.

    Some questions


    Will the site have enough support to deal with expansion?
