KnitML & Ravelry
Web technology and knitting have finally come together in a very cool way with KnitML, which is simply brilliant. My technical skills aren't advanced enough to allow me to contribute to the effort, but I can appreciate the uber-coolness of it and Derek can contribute the occasional purl/perl joke.
These two worlds have also been joined with the fabulous knitting social networking platform that is Ravelry. Right now, I'm making Fetching mitts with Malabrigo yarn, and I've just browsed through pages created by knitters making the same pattern with the same yarn to see whether they used the same needle size, etc. Hurrah for organized, community-improved, online knitting data (with pictures!)! Adding all of my completed projects has also helped me realize that I've made nine (9!) baby hats recently and not much else. Time to branch out...
