Ravelry is a new socially driven site dedicated to the fiber arts (knitting, crocheting, and the spinning of yarn) featuring advanced custom built search functionality, forums, pattern as well as individual project pages, and yarn reviews. The backbone of the site is the extremely tight knit community made up of 250,000 dedicated users. The service launched in public beta in May 2007 by husband and wife founders Casey and Jessica Forbes.

My gf uses this site - absolutely unbelievable what they've been able to do in such a short amount of time. This is the place to be if you like knitting or crocheting.
