Why I Love Ravelry

I really love Ravelry. Why?

• Because when I find myself getting overwhelmed and somewhat disinterested in my knitting/crochet, I just have to browse the patterns and/or projects and I’m once again rejuvenated and excited to work on my WIPs and get them done, so I can start another fabulous project.
• Because when I have problem that I can’t figure out, I just have to start a new topic in the forums and I get mountains of feedback, suggestions and advice to help me get “unstuck”.
• Because when I’m trying to figure out what I can make with the yarn in my stash I once again just have to browse the projects/yarns/patterns and I’m almost guaranteed to find something.
• Because if I need to know if I have a particular needle, all I have to do is check my needle inventory and it’s there at a glance.
• Because I can share the excitement and and pride I feel when I finish a project by displaying pictures of my work.
• Because it feels great when someone leaves comment telling me they love my project or when I see that one of my projects have been flagged as a favorite.

I love what I do, I love creating stuff with yarn. As my husband called it, it’s my therapy. I get such a feeling of pride and accomplishment that I made it myself. And Ravelry helps remind me of that when I see everyone else’s projects and think, gosh, I should be focusing on getting my stuff done, so I can keep making more great stuff.
