For my first post, I would like to talk about the coolest website that I just found out about. First, you will need a little background info on me, though.
I have recently taken up a new hobby. It is something that I always knew how to do, but never really developed the skill. That would be crocheting. I've already made a few things and I really really like it. I'm a person who always needs to be doing something and I liked to feel accomplished so this is a good hobby for me.
This website that I am talking about is called Ravelry. I don't even think I know how to say it, so its better to write about it anyway =]. It is a website where you can record all of your projects, and everything about them, add favorite projects from others, get patterns, etc. It truly is a crocheters paradise. I was thinking of getting together a portfolio but that would be a to design all the sheets and I don't have any color ink so I don't know where I'd get it printed.
Another cool site that is a little more well-known is etsy. That has everything imaginable on there and I spend hours on it. I love it. If I have one talent, I must say I am fairly crafty. It may not be much, but at least its something.
Here are some screenshots of Ravelry:
These are my projects so far, including those I'm working on right now.
These are the things in my queue, which means things that I am going to make in the future.
I just love this website and I just had to share it with something/someone! =D
I'm glad you're joining the blog world, Katie! I really love it and I hope you do too! Don't be so hard on yourself...your thoughts are TOTALLY valuable and deserve to be read!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you wanted those screenshots to spread outside the journaling border or not, but if you didn't you just have select a smaller size when you're editing/writing your post. I think the sizes (small to xlarge) show up when you cursor over the picture.
Also, I'm super impressed with your crochet work and so glad you're loving your craft! that's the most important part of a hobby!
