How to: Make an Awesome Project Page on Ravelry

One of the features I use most on Ravelry is my Project Page, I think it is brilliant! If you put in the few minutes it takes to keep your project page updated, you really will be thankful in the long run! For example, you may make a few changes to a pattern you're working on, adding these changes on the note section of your project page will help you next time you, or someone else knits/crochets up this pattern (like this, for example). Here is my guide to creating a perfect ravelry project page!

You Will Need:

  • A Ravelry Account (if you don't have one, you can create one here)
  • A Project
  • Stashed Yarn *(Optional)
  • Photographs of your project (*Optional)
Let's Get Started! (don't forget, you can click each picture to make them larger!)

Step One:

Log into your account, and click Notebook


You'll then find yourself at your Project Notebook


Step Two: 
Click Add Project


Step Four:
Fill in as much information as you can!


Then click Continue


Choose the correct pattern


Step Three:
Fill in as much information as you can! 


Click Save Changes



The following steps are all optional, but if you can, please follow them!

Add Your Yarn!


                                                           Click Add Stashed Yarn


Add your yarn from the stash, when you find the yarn you want, click Use


Repeat this as many times as needed


Then write down how much yarn you've used (if you can!)


then click Save Changes


Option 2:

If you don't have your yarn stashed, don't worry! Just add it on the project page like so:

Click Add Yarn


Fill in as much information as you can!


Click Save Changes


Add Your Photographs!

Click on Add Photos


Add your photos, in whichever way you want!



C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S

You have created an awesome project page on Ravelry!!


That is this weeks tutorial, next week we'll be learning How to: Use the Ravelry Pattern Search!
