I got my Ravelry invitation! I am "andimc13" if you want to add me as a friend. I joined the Arizona Knitters and Socks that Rawk groups so far.
For the non-knitters out there, Ravelry is a brilliant online community database site, where I can upload photos and details of my yarn stash, works-in-progress, UFOs, needles, books, etc. Projects are cross-referenced by pattern and yarn, so you can get inspiration for that yarn you love but have no idea what to use it for, and see how patterns are working up for all the other knitters in the universe. Basically, it's a "myspace" for knitters!
For the quilters, it seems like Ricky Tims is trying to create a similar community with his Quilt Show forum. Has anyone joined? I thought about subscribing to the online broadcast, but haven't had time so far. Please let me know if you have watched and what you think of it.

I have subscribed and watched the Quilt Show twice. It was pretty good. That reminds me that I should watch a few more of the episodes. I am not sure if I will subscribe again though. I'll watch a few more and see if it is worth the time.
Gus was in the shop the other day and said he really liked "The Quilt Show." Haven't heard feedback from anyone else.
Do you have to have an invitation to join Ravelry? I joined the Quilt Show and signed up for the plan that you pay for but haven't had much time (or haven't taken the time) to learn much about it.
