The (supportive) comment about how Ravelry is the internet for fiber-people isn't far off the mark. Swear to *god*, a lot of these people seem never to have communicated on-line (let alone realized that there might be different people in the big bad world out there). Their wanks are like perfect miniatures of persistent themes -- Nazis! Lurkers support them in email! Swearing is unladylike!

...I had to get a Firefox extension to block me from reading the forums. My mental health and blood pressure are *much* better now.
