This is the fifth in a series of classes exploring Ravelry. Ravelry is a place for knitters, crocheters, designers, spinner, weavers and dyers to keep track of yarn, tools, project and pattern information and look to others for ideas and inspiration.

Ravelry is a great place for you to keep notes about your projects, see what other people are making, find the perfect pattern or yarn, and connect with people who love to play with yarn from all over the world in the forums. In this class, let us help you learn the ins and outs of Ravelry, and how to use it to your advantage and save time! Track projects, learn tips from designers, buy patterns, join forums, and so much more. Each session is tailored to the interests and levels of the class. Come to ask and learn what you need to customize your Ravelry experience.
