Ravelry
Recently I have actually explored the site. It is awsome! There are forums to chat with other knitters or corcheters from all over the world. It that were not cool enough there is a place to log your stash, another for your needles or hooks.
The projects area is cool. You can list what your are working on, making notes, listing the yarn and needles you used and any other notes. You can note how you adjusted the pattern or made changes for a partiular person.
Several of you are already on the site but if you have not looked into it I would
recomend it.
There is so much more to it that I have not explored. It has taken a bit of time.
I get so excited that I sometimes spend more time on the site than knitting.I have to limit myself.
Check it out!
