[smokeyp81]

OK....so I just gave in and signed up. There are 16,000 people ahead of me. So, when do you suppose I'll get my invite....by Christmas?!? LOL!

I was invited pretty quickly, maybe you will be too!

In reality, I think they're planning on going public in the next few weeks (or as soon as possible, whichever comes first!). That means no invitation necessary.

What is Ravelry?

[Mermaiden]

http://www.ravelry.com It's a very cool crochet/knit website that is still being developed & tested (hence the need for an invite until it goes public). You can see what it's all about here

http://www.ravelry.com/about

A place to track your yarn and projects (I've found it helps me get motivated on WIPs, and stash busting!), and a good way to look at patterns. I love how you can look at various people's rendition of a pattern, not just the typical one on the pattern.

Not just that, also networking with other yarnies.

 

Already some chat about this over at this thread

Hi,

Here is a link:

http://www.ravelry.com/

In the box to the right.. you will find a sneek peek screen shot.

 

I'v only been there a couple of days.. but already love it.

Best part so far.. I entered a couple of my current prodjects.. with pattern, yarn info type stuff.. and date started..

I now can keep track easily.

But then !!! I can see all the other same projects.. same pattern but different people.

 

Found a couple people I havn't seen in awhile..and their projects ...

And of course more and more WIM.

 

When you get in.. click on the groups tab.. there you will find a Crochetville group !

Ooo, it looks neat, thank you!

[PlaidKitty]

Hummm...?

So it seems by the time I posted here.. and the time now..

I have wasted yet another perfectly good hour.. poking around Ravelry.

My suggestion to all waiting:

Get those pesky home projects like cleaning, laundry, and whatever.. done now.. before you too loose track of time .

Sounds great. I just added my name to the list.

[JCB]

I've tried for a couple of days to add my name to the list, but I can't get the link to go. It just keeps on going back to the first, log in page, but since I don't have an acct., I can't log it.

 

I'm on a Mac... not sure if that makes a difference or not. I tried with Safari, with Firefox and even fired up IE (which I hate)... still can't get in to add my name.

 

Anyone else having this problem? Can someone send me a direct link to where you add your name? You can P/M me.

 

Thanks!

Hi Joan,

The site is down for more upgrades right now.. so I can't do much more than tell you the preferred browser there is Fire fox.

 

One of us should be able to grab a link later. Hang in there.

 

-Pam L- wondering if I'll remember?

Okie Dokie...

I've been looking around over there.

Some really nice crocheters.. and not names I've seen here.

So.. the population of Crochetville is probably going to be growing.. once more of us are there.

 

So.. where do we watch the Crochetville population ? That would be fun to keep track of too.

 

Tip possibly..

I saw once prolific knitter explain that Flickr only allows X number of FREE uploads per month ?

Perhaps doing some now would help those with tons of images ?

I have not searched Flickr to verify.
