That's the number of people that are ahead of me at Ravelry, this beta site that looks like it will be the uber, ultimate, meta-site for knitters.
I just joined a bunch of knit-rings (see the sidebar) and now I am (hopefully!) going to be in on a Grey's Anatomy KAL, or a Knit-Along. What could be better than Grey's and knitting?
It certainly makes the knitting more fun and social in my end of the globe, or at least in my neck of Japan - I have tried in vain but there are no knitting circles to be had, really. Thank god for the net!
