Ravelry
I've finally caught up with other knitters and joined Ravelry, and I am so glad that I did! The site is very well designed and very user-friendly. The only downsides are (1) I will have to upload a bunch of stuff onto my account, and (2) I can totally see myself spending lots of time on there.One of the fantastic Ravelry features include the ability to find a endless myriad of patterns in one place AND see what other knitters have done with those patterns. This saves a ton of time doing multiple internet searches. I used to have to search using various search engines, blogs and various crafting/knitting forums for variations, yarn substitutions and photos of patterns. With Ravelry, this is a cinch!
When I first logged on, I was very pleasantly surprised to see that other Ravelry users had already uploaded my knitting designs into the site's pattern compendium. I've since updated all the information and added photos to the patterns.
Other superb features include yarn index (although most, but not all yarns are on there), LYS serach index (it's also a work in progress, so it's not complete) and the ability to manage your projects (present and future), yarn stash, library and designs.
Although I am tempted to list and post some of my past projects, I think I will hold off for the time being, since it is such a time-consuming task to do so.

Hi, I found your blog through your link on Flickr mentioning the yarn swift you made. Very nice directions and product, by the way.

Yes, I love Ravelry's organization but dislike all the time it involves. If only I could find a way to add more hours to the day......
I uploaded just a few of my past projects that I was really proud of and moved forward from there. I should probably add more back projects because they could help other people.
