Ravelry
Have you checked out Ravelry?
In their own words, "Ravelry is a place for knitters, crocheters, designers, spinners, and dyers to keep track of their yarn, tools and pattern information, and look to others for ideas and inspiration."
I joined a few days ago and started entering my projects (only three for now) and then the other night I spent some time filing my circular needles. I couldn't find a place to enter my #000 needles — yeah, yeah, I know… how many people really use size #000? — but for each needle you enter in the chart you can attach a note, so I filed my #000 under #00 and wrote a note to remind myself that they really are #000.
I'm loving this site already. I can tell it's going to be a time sucker at the beginning, but once you get to the maintenance/update phase, then it'll be a cynch, à la Library Thing. And I love that I can import images from my Flickr account and connect my projects to relevant entries on my blog. I should start feeding Flickr again, after neglecting it for months.
I bet that Ravelry will become BIG in the craft community.

Hey, you got on it?! I sent them an email earlier this week, but haven't heard back. I look forward to joining.

That's the whole reason why I'm behind schedule and I haven't even started on the stash or needles.

I joined a couple days ago too, and I'm afraid I'll never leave the computer again. Must.go.friend.FluffBuff.now.

I'm hoping I can join soon, my name is on the list! I definitely need some organization in my knitty life, right now, my yarn stash is in a big tupperware in my car :P

I love Library Thing!!! I haven't finished entering all of my books, but it's one of my WIP. I'll probably end up getting one of the kids to finish. I'll keep Ravelry in mind for a rainy day project!!

Oh I love that site too! I started using almost all the features ... especially like the stash and queue ...

What a great idea. Not that I need another time sucker right now but once it's ready I'm definitely going to use it.
