Release your inner geek! The April program explores Ravelry and KnitCompanion. Both of these applications are very powerful aids to your knitting and crocheting. For Ravelry, learn how to build robust queries to search for particular designers, patterns, yarns, and LYSs. Get help and inspiration from project posts and community forums. Ravelry lets you save your searches and build collections of your favorite patterns. It also seamlessly feeds your patterns into KnitCompanion. KnitCompanion, an indispensable tool, is available for both Apple and Android devices. It stores your patterns in electronic format so you don’t need to keep track of paper copies.
