Waiting for my invite

So a month ago, I learned about Ravelry. I went to their site to join, and like all other people was put on the invitation list. I now after a month have about 8000 people ahead of me, and 8000 people behind me. I am hoping to have my invitation in a week. Of course, I am excited to check this site out, but am now begining to wonder if I will be let down. I am sure it will be a good resource for me and my knitting hobby. But, will it be as great as I am hearing it is. Only time will tell. TTFN, Miki
