My new favorite Ravelry trick

By Meg Dedolph

Something many people say when they come into the shop, after they pick out yarn for a project, when I ask, “Do you have the right needles?” is: “Huh. I don’t know. I’m not sure. Maybe? I’ll go home and check.”

Or they add another 16-inch US6 circular to their stash.

I was chatting with a coworker about this problem, “Could we make a little laminated card people could keep in their wallets? Or a downloadable PDF? Or … is there an app?”

And she said, “You can do that on Ravelry, you know.”

Well, reader, I did not know.

And there are a lot of you that did not know, too.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Gather all your knitting needles in one place. (I can’t help you with this; this is your own problem.)
2. Log in to your Ravelry account.
3. Under the “notebook” heading, click on “Tools.”
4. A grid of needle and hook sizes will appear. Enter your inventory.
5. Stop buying 16-inch US6 circulars forever.
6.
