Hey there, friends!  Over the years, I've been aspiring to making interseting web apps in Common Lisp.  At the same time, Sarah's been kniting more and more and I've gotten to see some of that world.  Lots of people use Ravelry for posting their work and it's got a strong community.  I thought it might be interesting to try to make something that formatted knitting patterns in an easy to follow way.  Maybe eventually work up to some sort of markdown extension.  We'll see where it goes.

A few weeks ago, I stuck an early version up at knttl.co!  I'm sure there are all sorts of little bugs in it.  But it's fairly pretty and quick and runs on top of PostgreSQL and Common Lisp!  It's running Eitaro Fukamachi's woo web server, which is nice and snappy.  It's ona very low tier DigitalOcean VM and I haven't configured everything that well for the environment, so it crashes if it gets too much traffic.  While it's working, though, it's pretty darn quick.  I wish I had more time/effort available to work on it, but it's hard to find the motivation after full time programming work during the week.  If you find knttl interesting or useful, though, please let me know!
