A New Skill

There are many skills that I have yet to acquire in knitting. I would love to do colourwork, fair isle, entrelac, beadwork. My list could go on and on.

The immediate skill I need to master is how to use Ravelry. I know, you must be speechless. I have an account which I made by mistake really because I wanted a copy of a pattern. I didn't realise it as a whole knitting community. I have been a member for nearly a year but have only taken baby steps. I have joined the blog hub group so that I could take part in this blog week and I have half loaded a project. I have added items to a queue and a favourite but without any idea of what I am doing. I know from everyone else's blogs that it will be a really useful tool to help me organise my work and stash etc but I have yet to find out how. I see that it can be linked to the blog and I am sure there must be so many other things it does. I know I must sound like a real technophobe but I am determined to learn. Wish me luck.

  2. Yes, it took me quite a while to get my head around it as well, and I still feel there are parts I've yet to discover!

  3. Be warned, though, once you learn how to use it, it becomes an addiction ;)

  4. I totally agree with all of the above, especially Fridica - I often spend hours looking at patterns and what friends are up to when I really should be knitting!
