If you are a crocheter, knitter, etc. and not yet familiar with ravelry I encourage you to head on over for a Sneak Peek so you can see what it's all about. Below quote from: ravelry.com 'About Us'.
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.
The content here is all user-driven; we as a community make the site what it is. The Yarn Harlot wrote recently about Representing, showing the world the power of our community, and I believe that on this site we can really show the strength of our numbers and the depth of our
creativity.
So what can you personally do on Ravelry? You can talk about your own projects, integrate that information into your personal website and contribute to someone else's project a world away.
If you are not a blogger, we give you a great way to share and show off your projects, participate in -alongs, and socialize with other crafters. If you are a blogger than Ravelry is the perfect complement to your online journal; it provides structure and organization. All of your information is easy to enter and easy to find. You will not need to update your own FO album again- it is all here on Ravelry!
The brain child of Jess & Casey, Ravelry is currently in beta stage but so phenomenal already I don't know how it can get any better! There is something there for everyone. I have been working on cataloging all of my crochet & knitting goodies...NOT a small undertaking, but it's been fun! And, I feel great about having it all organized in one place for easy printing so I can just stick it in my purse and know what I have or don't have when I'm out and about and just 'happen' to run in to Joann's, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, AC Moore's, etc. :D
There is so much I am interested in at Ravelry and I do plan to get more involved but will wait a bit so I don't 'over-indulge' and spread myself to thin. That and I need a new camera...mine has decided that the only type of pictures it will take are of solid rectangular black boxes. :(
Hope to see you around on Ravelry!
