Ravelry http://www.ravelry.com/ is such a fabulous resource. I am so impressed by what they have created. I constantly follow threads that will help me during my transition. I find the forums to be endlessly educational and occasionally I will throw in a question of my own for clarification.
My guild uses a group to communicate with members so I check in regularly with them but my very favourite thing about ravelry is the way it connects the community of Knitters world wide. Every question gets an answer and I just love that everyone is so generous sharing online tutorials and other resources.
Some Knitters describe Ravelry as Facebook for Knitters but I think that description does not even come close. It's WAY better!

About Me
- Robin
- email contact robinknits(AT)gmail(dot)com I've been knitting my whole life. I don't even remember learning. I started making garments for myself in my teens and then explored sewing, tailoring and millinery. I want to teach knitters about fit and flattery and turn them into fashion stars! On my blog you will find lots of interviews with knitting industry professionals, how to tutorials and a variety of posts about what's going on in the knitting world. I love to come out and speak at shops and guilds. Here's what the Downtown Knit collective said after one of my talks: “Robin Hunter’s inspiring talk, “The Barbie Factor,” left everyone in a feel-good mood at the conclusion of the May meeting. Heads were nodding in agreement all around ... as she tackled a multi-faced problem faced by many knitters—why don’t we knit for ourselves? She touched on many topics including fashion, body image, media and how it all relates back to our knitting.” You can see my patterns on http://www.patternfish.com/des/robin_hunter and you can find me on Ravelry at http://www.ravelry.com/people/knittingrobin My YouTube channel is here:http://www.youtube.com/user/robinknits?feature=mhee
