I know it came out of a frustrating situation, but I had heard about Ravelry from another site, and wasn't aware of yours until today, and so had missed any information posted here. Glad to know that an invite is indeed still coming to me sometime in the future, and I'm looking forward to using the site. I'm sorry to hear that people have been giving you a hard time, but am happy to have the information. Just wanted to say thank you for the update post!

That stinks and makes me feel bad that I haven't used my beta tester status more! Anyway - I think you guys are doing a great job - look at all these encouraging comments!

The preview pictures are amazing, and I'm sure it will be worth the wait. People need to realize that there are in fact humans behind this, having lives and trying to do good things for all of us out here. Looking forward to my invite, with absolutely no pressure!

And I'm very sure that most people understand the need to prevent the site from completely exploding :) Again, we're here if you want/need help.

I saw this! and this!..." and to not be able to participate. Now, this is not the end of my world, I have signed up and will wait patiently, nor am I complaining. All I'm saying is that people who have already gotten into Ravelry: please have some sensitivity towards those who haven't and understand our frustration.

You are doing a wonderful thing. I am super excited about the site and I'm spending my time organizing my flickr account so that I'll be ready when my invite arrives :) Don’t worry about the complainers.
