Learning Path #8: Crochet Pattern Sourcing
From online to in-hand, discover the best places to find (and store) your crochet patterns!
Do you hoard crochet patterns in your email? Is your internet browser full of bookmarked patterns and sources? Maybe, you download & print all patterns to keep them handy. There is a better system, and we can show you.
Knowing where crochet patterns can be found is a key hunting tactic to fine-tune, but managing patterns you accumulate is just as important a tactic to learn. Ravelry is a key topic in this course because it's free to join and use, and is an amazing search & library database for the yarn world! By the end of this course, you'll better understand Ravelry, and will be able to manage all your patterns in one easy-to-use location!
This course includes the following 4 lessons:
- Pattern Sourcing & Management: Cutting through the clutter and chaos
- Ravelry: Profile & Notebook Settings
- Ravelry: Search Functions
- Ravelry: Advanced Tagging
