The first time I'd heard of Ravelry was when I was in a LYS asking about a pattern. The woman went to the computer and showed me several pages of all the items that people had made with the pattern I was asking about. I was amazed and so inspired! I couldn't believe there was a community so huge made just for us. At the time of writing this post there are currently 394,621 registered users. She gave me the link and told me it was easy to join.
It was the best thing I ever did to enhance my craft. So much inspiration and encouragement from people all over the world. I've made many friends and discovered so much more. Thank you Ravelry for enriching my knitting and crochet life!
You can find me there by clicking on the People link and typing in Naramoon. Hope to see you there!
