Dyet Yarns: reuse, recycle, reinvent!

There is a Dyet Yarns Ravelry group now. Shop updates and new giveaways will be announced there, so you Ravelers can keep track. Check it out!

If you don’t know about/aren’t on Ravelry, it’s a social network and database community for fiber fiends of all kinds. There are forums and groups as well as a huge database of patterns, yarns, and other things as well. Each user has their own notebook section; you can keep track of your yarn/fiber stash, projects, media, hooks and needles, etc, as well as share them with groups. There are even some groups for swapping if you have some things in your stash you want to trade for other new, shiny things.

Ravelry is how I find ALL of my knitting patterns. It’s just so much easier to search for what you want and look through pictures of a bunch of patterns that are gathered in one place than scour the internet for patterns. Plus, most of the patterns available online (and also through hard copy publication) are in Rav’s database.

Finally, Ravelry is an awesome place to get help or feedback on your projects. If you are having a problem with knitting, dyeing, spinning, or whatever, there is a forum on Rav where you can ask and get an answer (or read the answer to someone else who asked the same question.) Check it out; if you’re a fiber fiend like me, you won’t be disappointed!
