Shoutout to my knitting notes (and to past me for saying it's okay to need them) bc I genuinely wouldn't know what row I was on without them 🙏

Kitchenette! Definitely should have gone with a shark name and rounded out the shark shawl set, but ah well.

(Also, through July 30th, you can use code “readtheblog” for 20% off a mousearmy knitting pattern purchase totaling $10 or more. This was originally meant to be tied to the blog, but blog traffic is not heavy, and I feel bad putting the code where essentially, almost no one is seeing it.)

 I Heart socks PDF knitting pattern // StoneKnits

[astroknits]

one of my favorite things about being a fiber artist in this day and age is that everything is still mine.

patterns are still being made in physical books.

paying for a pattern on ravelry gives me a PDF file, not a link or a subscription or some stupid NFT style thing.

anything i make by hand with a fancy pattern, any stephen west pattern I put together- no AI can replicate that.

sure, you can try to use it to write a pattern, but it’s going to make even less sense than whatever other AI “art” slop is being put out.

sure, maybe it’s because what we do has already been “replaced” by easy textiles and fast fashion and big brands. but a hand knit object will live longer and look better and has far more care put into it, just like any other hand-created piece of art.

i just. feel really blessed as an artist that this is the community that i have. support your LYS, get involved in your community, make your friends’ wardrobes a little more sustainable.

Park Walk Shawl.

(I know I referred to this earlier, because it was an idea I’d had and I didn’t come back and sketch it, but in the end it was still there. I had some ambivalence about the two-color version—you could add a C3 or even work every step in a different yarn if you wanted—but ended up liking it pretty well. Kinda mountain bluebird colors. DK-weight shawl, too, so it knits up quickly, and there’s really no reason it couldn’t be worsted weight.)

Unlocking the Magic of Ravelry: A Guide to the Biggest Online Fiber Arts Community

If you're a knitter, crocheter, spinner, or fiber arts enthusiast, chances are you've heard whispers of a place called Ravelry. For those new to the scene or just dipping their toes into the yarn-filled waters, Ravelry is more than just a website—it's a treasure trove of inspiration, organization, and community. Here’s what you need to know to get started and make the most of this fiber-lover’s paradise.

Whether you’re a beginner looking for your first scarf pattern or a seasoned designer managing dozens of published works, Ravelry is an incredible tool. It helps you organize your craft, discover new ideas, and join a global community that understands the thrill of finishing that last sleeve or unraveling an entire sweater (we’ve all been there).

What is Ravelry?

Ravelry is a free social networking site and database designed specifically for fiber artists. Launched in 2007, it quickly became the go-to platform for tracking projects, discovering patterns, and connecting with fellow crafters from around the world. Think of it as a combination of Pinterest, Goodreads, and a really helpful knitting circle—all wrapped up in one cozy interface.

Let's Get Started

1. Create a Free Account Visit www.ravelry.com and sign up. You’ll just need a username, email, and password. Once you're in, you’ll have access to thousands of free and paid patterns, forums, yarn databases, and tools. Please add me as a friend once you've created you're account! I'd love to see what all of you are up to!

Once your account is set up, you can take this time to set up your profile. Mind is linked with a couple of projects I'm working on, my blog, and I'm currently working on building out my yarn stash database.

Explore Patterns

One of Ravelry’s biggest draws is its massive pattern library. You can search by:

Craft (knitting, crochet, weaving, etc.)

Yarn weight

Project type (socks, sweaters, shawls, etc.)

Free vs. paid

Difficulty level

Each pattern includes notes from the designer, photos, and—best of all—user-submitted projects so you can see how the pattern works up in different yarns or sizes. Ravelry has a really great set of filters, so I suggest playing around with it and seeing what works best for you!

Log Your Projects

Want to remember what size needles you used for that hat last winter? Or which yarn didn’t work out so well? The “Projects” tab lets you document every detail:

Pattern used

Yarn and yardage

Hook or needle size

Notes and modifications

Progress photos

This not only helps you stay organized, but also contributes to the collective wisdom of the Ravelry community.

Stash and Library Features

Stash – Catalog all the yarn you own. This can help when you’re out shopping and wondering, “Do I already have something like this at home?”

Library – Keep track of all the patterns you’ve downloaded or favorited. It’s especially useful for managing PDF files and ensuring you don’t accidentally buy the same pattern twice.

Connect with the Community

Ravelry is also home to thousands of groups based on location, interests, fandoms, yarn brands, designers, and more. You can ask for advice, join knit-alongs, or just chat with fellow fiber nerds.

The forums are active and full of helpful threads on techniques, troubleshooting, and yarn recommendations.

Marketplace and Indie Designers

Ravelry supports thousands of indie designers who sell their patterns directly through the site. You can often message designers with questions, follow your favorites, and even leave tips. Supporting small creators has never been so seamless.

So grab your yarn, your needles, and a cup of tea—Ravelry is waiting.
