I just found out, via the Posh Knitters group, that if you're waiting for your Ravelry invite you can now check your status in the queue on their site. So I did! And....

"Found you!

* You signed up on June 3, 2007
* You are #6286 on the list.
* 72 people are ahead of you in line.
* 12965 people are behind you in line.
* 32% of the list has been invited so far"

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee! Only 72 people in front of me! Soon! Soon I can go and play ;-)

(But for now, I'm off to continue reading That Potter Book. I'm trying to take it slowly and savour the thing...)
