Ravelry

This week I wanna talk about Ravelry. This is one of my favorite websites! It has a ton of different shtuff for knitters and crocheters alike. There are a gazillion patterns for knitting and crocheting, this thing called "stash", projects that other people have done, a library of patterns and books, and more too.
The stash is where you can log different yarns you have in your stash at home. You can enter the specific name and brand of the yarn and color and even where you bought it and for how much. You can put a picture of the yarn too. Then, you can look at the yarns other people have and they can look at yours. This is really helpful when you are just looking for some type of yarn for a project but you don't know what one to chose.
You can have friends on the site too and send messages to other members. There are different groups for charities and just plain fun on the site too. If you see someone who has yarn in their stash for sale you can buy it over the internet and even sell your own yarns. People also put patterns and links to patterns too. There are free ones and some you pay for but there are filters and stuff so you can search for specific stuff. 
So you may think that this website sounds like the bomb (that would be because it is). There is a down side though :( Just kidding there is no down side! It is always free too unless you want to buy a pattern. So go forth and knit! Here's the link: Ravelry.com
