Ravelry 101: Making the Most of Your Ravelry Experience 
Web seminar with Jennifer Raymond
Join Jennifer Raymond as she discusses how to use Ravelry, an online social database for knitters, crocheters and fiber-artists. Learn many key tips, tricks and shortcuts to make the most of this dynamic and helpful website.

Ravelry is an online social website for knitters, crocheters and fiber-artists. With more than 4 million users, it is a wonderful social environment to interact with fellow hobbiests and share the skills that you love, as well as a great place to find patterns and yarns. This web seminar takes you through some of the basic skills to use Ravelry’s catalogue of features.

Have a favorite yarn but can’t find a pattern that will work? Know exactly what you want to make but can’t seem to find it? Want to see how other people have approached a project before diving in? Part of the advantage of Ravelry lies in how you can use other people’s knowledge and experiences to enrich your own crafting life. Join Jennifer as she takes you step by step through Ravelry’s website and demonstrates how to maximize your experience.

With this web seminar, you’ll learn:

• How to use Ravelry’s advanced search functions to find patterns based on different criteria.
• Ways to get recommendations for yarn substitutions.
• How to look at what other people have done with a pattern.
• The best way to organize your library to make it searchable: never look for “that one pattern” again.
• Tips to plan your projects based off of your yarn and stash.

Who should attend: 

• Knitters and Crocheters interested in learning more about Ravelry.
• Ravelry users who want to get more out of their online experience.
• Knitters and crocheters interested in finding patterns and inspiration online.
