Too much information!

Ravelry is like drinking from a fire hose.

Mass quantities of information about knitting (and crocheting, whatever that is) by intimidating, talented, beautiful people and a few of us clinkers. I especially liked the cardigan sweaters modelled by actual overweight Grumpy Gus grandfathers.

Essentially a giant scrapbook that everyone else can see, but everyone's got one and everybody shares. Not a familiar concept, just like Open Source!

Update 28 July - The pronunciation is interesting. You can hear different voices say rivalry, revelry or ravel-ry.
