My girlfriend has been active on Ravelry for some time, and we actually had dinner with a charming family that she met via Ravelry.
They actually hauled an antique spinning wheel across the country for her, made us some italian chicken, and regaled us with tales of revolutionary war re-enactment over dinner. utterly fascinating folk, generous and warm and welcoming. my girlfriend is now building a business around yarn, knitting and spinning, and ravelry is, and will be, instrumental to her growth.
it's one of the most impressive community/social network projects i've EVER seen.
