Ravelry.com

I know it's been resourceful for me as a beginner in crocheting, so I am glad it's a good choice for Knitters as well! Good Luck with your knitting! The invite should come shortly!

I think you could've browsed around the site. It's been over a year since I joined that I can't remember any longer...lol I make jewelry with glass beads, semi-precious stones and my specialty...sea glass. I sell online at Etsy.com and do the craft show circuit, along with home shows from time to time. It's fun and I find it relaxing to take a cup of tea or coffee to my crafting table and just sit and create... especially after a long day at my JOB.

I took a look at your etsy store, I thought that I had followed a link from your profile at one time, I really like the heart pendant, I think it's adorable. Those are some very beautiful things you made. I am sure it's calming to craft, I know that it has been for me so far in that when I practice it seems like all this planning and stuff that I'm doing for mine and my fiance's wedding is just melted away!

I haven't gotten into the craft joining craze yet, but I am sure that is soon too come! Jewelry making sounds like it would be lots of fun. My fiance's mother and his grandmother came back from a craft fair and his grandma had bought me and his mom matching bracelets. They were beaded. What kind of jewelry making do you do? I know there is several ways to make them. Oh and great tip for those still awaiting their approvals! I know mine didn't come in spam, but I used gmail so I'm glad that it sifted right to the inbox. I'd of been in a frenzy waiting, I couldn't wait to explore the site! (I didn't think that you could explore until after you joined, but a responder above made me think that I might could've). In any case Happy Holidays to you!

Oh I know it's so distracting, I've been distracted by not just crafting communities but also crafting websites. This site is definitely a distraction, but it's one well worth it! I hope you sign up, you'll definitely enjoy the distraction! I think there's even yarn swaps and such, so that if you find a pattern you want but don't have the color you need / want, then you can just do it there. I'm not sure where on the site this is,but I've heard about it. I assume it's the groups or forums! Happy Crafting! Sorry for giving you such a sweet distraction!

I'm not sure how many improvement's they've done since a year ago, I was under the impression they just started. I like the site a lot though, and recommend you look back at it.. It's a great site. I appreciate the response.

I didn't realize this, but indefinitely the sites been around for quite awhile. I'm not sure why it's still in beta but from what I read about the couple who started it, they have quite a lot on their hands, so I can understand where the site might be on the back burner. I'm sure it will stay around though, a lot of people live the site, and they have ways of making money for it so that their time and money isn't wasted. I'm just a beginner - crocheter, and really crafter. This site right now serves as a -- ooh I wanna make that --- site, more of an inspirational site. I haven't ventured onto the groups, though i've searched for them. Looks like i'll have to make my own group, but I want to get more experience before doing that. Then again, I searched by State, and am not sure if there's a way to search by interest. All In All, It's a fun site!
