Why you'll love it

The Ravelry website is an incredible resource for fibre lovers – knitters, crocheters, spinners, dyers and designers alike. It’s packed with patterns, yarn information, project inspiration and community groups, but getting started can feel a little overwhelming if you’re not familiar with how it all works.

In this class, Jane will guide you through the essentials of using Ravelry so you can search more effectively, organise your projects and favourites, and connect with the wider fibre community with confidence.

In this class you’ll learn how to:

  • register for and log in to Ravelry
  • search for patterns using filters such as yarn weight, gauge, garment type and construction method
  • set up and personalise your profile page
  • search for yarns and save useful information
  • keep track of your projects
  • organise your favourites and queues
  • find and join groups that interest you
  • participate in forums and post questions
  • understand basic online etiquette within the Ravelry community

Jane Downey

Inspired by her grandmother, who would crochet intricate thread tablecloths without even referring to a pattern, Jane learned to crochet as a teen and now has almost 40 years of experience.

Jane is a member of the Crochet Guild of Australia and the Knitters’ Guild of NSW and has been teaching crochet for over 15 years. She teaches adults and children in both open classes and one-on-one classes, from beginner to more advanced techniques. Jane can teach both right and left handed people to crochet, and is often described as a very patient teacher. Jane is accredited to teach crochet by the Crochet Guild of Australia.

Jane has won prizes for her crochet at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, including being twice chosen for display in the Standard of Excellence cabinet. Jane has also judged the crochet at the Sydney Royal (not the same years in which she won prizes!). Jane loves crochet because of the variety of projects it lends itself to. She particularly likes to crochet garments, accessories and toys.
