Ravelry Night June 10 from 7-9 FREE
Wednesday, June 10, 2009 at 9:42PM What is Ravelry?
If you are asking that question then this class is for you. Ravelry is one stop shoping for everything knitting, crochet, yarn and patterns. It is a data base that is added to by the over 350,000 memebers on a daily basis with pictures and paticulars about their finished projects.
Want to knit the "Monkey" sock pattern. Put that in the search and you will have over 9000 versions with lots of information to help you make decisions about your pair.
If you have 600 yards of a worsted yarn you can search out patterns that take that amount of yarn. It really is endless.
You are going to spend the evening navigating around the site on your own computer. This is a hands on class and it is lots of fun. Don't have an account with Ravelry yet? That's ok, come and find out what all the buzz is about.
You will need to bring your laptop and a plug.
Space is limited so send me an email to reserve your seat.

We had a Full House! Picture 11 knitters all working hard at their computers. Now that is not something you see us doing as a group every day.
Every one was very new to Ravelry so we took two hours and navigated that whole site.
We learned how to:
~ search for patterns
~ search for yarns for patterns
~ how to find the best eye candy on Ravelry
~ How to make friends and why one would want to
~ How to add books to the library and then look at all the patterns in the books in your library
~ How to add stash to your library and why you would want to.
(your husband will never look there for your yarn)
~ How to search for projects that are in your library and in your stash
I'm sure there was more. Everyone's heads where swimming by the time they left.
Thank you to all that came and thank you to all those behind the genius that is Ravelry!!
