i love the pattern & yarn sections. i've gotten so many ideas and love browsing through projects.
but the forums drive me nuts with their US-centricity. not that i have anything against them, it's just that most of the threads are about US stores shops and yarns, and there's the assumption that the rest of the world either doesn't exist or doesn't use ravelry. but i'm drawn because i don't get to lurk on threads about anally retentive knitting habits anywhere else...
