Have you herd about Ravelry yet? It's my newest “time suck”. Go to www.ravelry.com and “register to receive an invite”. It usually takes 3-5 days and you will get an email telling you how to set up your Ravelry account. It's very easy, but if you need help just stop in the shop and I can help you get started .

Why is Ravelry so awesome?

Do you have some lovely yarn in your stash but you just don't know what to knit? Check Ravelry to see what others have made with the yarn.

Do you have a pattern but can't get the yarn that is recommended? Check Ravelry to see what others have used for that pattern.

Do you need one ball of a discontinued yarn? Check Ravelry to see if anybody has the yarn in their stash that they would like to trade or sell.

Do you want a pattern by a fabulous Indie Designer? Check Ravelry to see all the patterns that designer has to offer. Many designers offer their patterns for purchase as an instant downloadable PDF file. Buying directly from a designer is the best way to support your favorites.
