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.
Ravelry is my most useful knitting tool by far! the extra good thing about it is there are heaps and heaps of lovely people who will be happy to help you out so never be afraid to ask! :D
ReplyDeleteYes, 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!
ReplyDeleteYes, what Cherry said :-)
ReplyDeleteBe warned, though, once you learn how to use it, it becomes an addiction ;)
ReplyDeleteI 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!
