WHAT IS RAVELRY?

Again I have been asked what is ravelry? This is a repeat from my July 21 post.
WELL for those of you who do not know, ravelry is a knit and crochet community.Now this is directly from ravelry and is their words from their site so it is in quotes "Ravelry is a place for knitters, crocheters, designers, spinners, and dyers to keep track of their yarn, tools and pattern information, and look to others for ideas and inspiration.The content here is all user- driven; we as a community make the site what it is. The Yarn Harlot wrote recently about Representing, showing the world the power of our community, and I believe that on this site we can really show the strength of our numbers and the depth of our creativity.So what can you personally do on Ravelry? You can talk about your own projects, integrate that information into your personal website and contribute to someone else's project a world away.If you are not a blogger, we give you a great way to share and show off your projects, participate in -alongs, and socialize with other crafters. If you are a blogger than Ravelry is the perfect complement to your online journal; it provides structure and organization. All of your information is easy to enter and easy to find. You will not need to update your own FO album again- it is all here on Ravelry!"You can check it out and sign up here: https://www.ravelry.com/account/login.You can read the ravelry blog here: http://blog.ravelry.com/.
Hope this helps all those who are curious about Ravelry. It is a great place and a lot of fun with a lot of interesting content BUT you will have to patient until you get your invite. I assure you it is well worth the wait.
Now I need to get back and fix up my photos on Ravelry.
