Unlocking the Wonders of Ravelry
Monday, FEBRUARY 20: 6 - 8 pm
Most knitters have probably heard about Ravelry, many may even have accounts, but few are likely to be using the site to its full potential.
Harnessing the power of the site can be overwhelming, and that's why Lambikin's is offering a class on Monday, Feb. 20 from 6 - 8 pm called Unlocking the Wonders of Ravelry. For only $15, we'll teach you all the easy insider features that will make the site work for you. Bring a laptop, iPad, or tablet PC if you have one.
The site is an amazing resource for knitters to organize nearly every aspect of their work. Projects, stashed yarn, needles, hooks, books and magazines (or any other pattern source) can be logged quickly and easily. Thousands of patterns are available for free or for purchase, whether you're searching for a particular designer or browsing for ideas.
The true force of Ravelry's potential comes from the users, and tips and tricks you can learn from crafters around the world who have wrestled with the same vague pattern, untangled the same hands-on yarn, and tackled all of the other problems you might otherwise face alone.
You can sign up for the site prior to the class, or create your account that evening. Either way, you'll leave the store a power-user able to use all of Ravelry's great features to expand your knitting community and organization. We'll also help you set up a Paypal account if you don't have one.
