Ravelry
Get the most out of your time visiting Ravelry
  1. I continually monitor my 'Friends' Activity.  This way I see what my Friends have marked as Favourites, what they have started and completed and Queued projects.  This shows me many different knit and crocheted projects that I might not see otherwise
  2. On the 'Friends' page, check out your Friends blogs.  This will show you when their blogs are updated.
  3. Go under 'Groups' and see what interests you.  Also look for KAL (knit alongs) for projects you are working on.  I just joined the February Lady KAL.
  4. Do you have some yarn sitting in your stash and you don't know what to do with it?  Go under 'Yarn' and enter the name on the label.  Something that grabs you might come up.  You can refine your search to look only for vests or scarves or cardigans.
  5. Are you thinking about a pattern but don't know what yarn to use?  Enter the name of the garment under 'Patterns' and see what yarn people are working with.
