(well, here’s a switch – now I’m copying posts from my Knit Blog!)
So I got my invite yesterday and I made good use of my time. I added 13 projects (finished and WIPs), Queued 2 projects (in other words, things you plan to knit), added 8 books from LibraryThing, stashed 8 yarns, added 10 friends and catalogued half of my needles. (I need to give some of these DPNs away – truly!)
I was very glad I had added my knitting photos to Flickr and my books to LibraryThing in preparation…but I wish I had completed the photo box (or started it! LOL) and photographed my stash.
So, to my friends who were wondering – Ravelry is a great organizational tool but it’s so much more than that! You can find others who are
- Knitting in your neighborhood
- Knitting the same things as you
- Just plain knitters!!
If you haven’t signed up yet – do it! If you have and are waiting…take pics, get organized, and have patience! It’s worth it!!
Thanks for the tips! I signed up after you posted so I imagine it will be about August before I get on! LOL That’s okay I have enough to keep me busy! I’ve been sorting through my sewing/quilting stash too! Trying to get organized before starting school. I put pics on my blog of our start of a schoolroom. God is so good…before I ever even knew anything about homeschooling, before I was married or had kids, I started collecting kids books and teaching books, so we have a lot getting started. Still sorting through things and learning. Sorry I haven’t written. I just keep putting one foot in front of the other.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
OK, you’ve convinced me! 🙂 I just went and signed up. Hope it won’t be long before I can join the fun!
