Ravelry (Again!)

Sep 14, 2007 8 Replies

Hi all I got my invite yesterday, so logged on to check it all out. I know I'm going to enjoy it and will have to be careful about the amount of time I spend there.



One thing I'm liking about it already: the ability to call up a particular yarn and see the projects people have made from it. Something else - there is a place in your "notebook" where you can inventory your needles. Yes, I know I could have done it myself on Excel, but here it is, already set up. I just have to drag my bag of needles into my computer room and start entering them. I'll be able to print out a copy and stick it in my purse, so that I have that info right there if I want to buy more needles.



There's a spot to list your books.... I didn't even realize I had that many books until I started putting them in my notebook. And that's only the ones they have in their database.



There are groups for discussions and help, a place to display photographs of your stash, and look at other people's stash (now that is interesting!). Another thing I really like is that everything is right there, all in one place.



Anyhow, it's a fun place and I wish the owners all the best in their endeavour. Anyone here that's on it, let me know your I.D. so I can look you up. Mine is "Yarnfanatic". ;>)

It was fun to see your projects, Shelagh. We have a future project in common :) I'm BettyB there.

Would that be the Hanami Stole?? :>)

Shelagh

Why yes! That's the one! I think I first heard about it here, from you, so thanks for that :)

I am still waiting for my invitation.

Higs, Katherine

There are just 594 in front of me for an invite, so close and yet so far! I wanna play too. Thanks for making the wait just a little bit harder. :)

I am not sure what you all talk about ? some kind of new Cyber Comunities ? But i am thinking that as long as i have you al here +the yarners , do i really need another group ? can i afford the time ? even before thinking about joining other groups ..... As to making on line or in computer lists of my needles and books ,,,, i should spend this typing time to FINNISH my book , ands maybe work on another exhibition [plans plans ] ,,, so i wish you all the best ,,,, and hope you won`t forget us out here !!!! mirjam

That's much closer than the people who have 17000 ahead of them.

I'm not signing up for the `test' phase; I'll wait until it's open to general knitters. I'm more interested in browsing than entering my stuff in there.
