If you want to destroy my sweater
I just found out that to really be In-The-Know, you have to be a member of Ravelry.com.
In their 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.”
Apparently the site is run by a couple, and the husband does the web coding on the side (Sounds familiar. Thanks Honey!). So since it has gotten so popular, and they’re doing it on their own, they’re adding new members in stages as they increase capacity. As of right now, 2831 people are ahead of me in line! Hurry and sign yourselves up for membership too, so we can look at it together!
From the little of Ravelry that I can see right now as a non-member, I think I’m really going to LOVE it (and go completely OCD on it).
They tempt your fiberbuds by providing screen shots of what you’re in for…
Look at all of this fibery, community, knit-along goodness… *drool*
Remember when Butthead would get really excited about something and go, “uh….huh huh huh….huhu…that’s cool.” And then Beavis would go “Yeah yeah! Heeeerhehehherh!” And then oscillate their hips and spank the air? That’s how I feel about Ravelry and I’m not even a member yet.
Oh my. I just had to go and YouTube that, now didn’t I? I didn’t find the dance, but I did find something that made me laugh so hard that I scared my cat and dog.
Warning, there is some seriously hilarious, non-craft-related stuff in this clip. Ravelry is my New Volt Soda.

Wow, I don’t think i have ever seen the actual video for that one. There was a report on NPR today that was just like this. A mentally disabled 30 year old guy was picked upo by immigration and deported to mexico. He wandered around the streets for something like 85 days before his family found him, now they’re sueing L.A. and the state for it.
