Loads of patterns, forums which are helpful and including and an overall including and accepting environment, a safe spot for anyone!
Came here to say I support Ravelry. I think standing up for what they believe in is what America is about.
An awesome site for fibre lovers, and a great supporter of equality for all. It's nice to see a site take a stand against hate and bigotry.
Amazing resources and Database's for knitters. Easy to use and full of great patterns free and for purchase. Well run
Ravelry has it all and still has the best service and people you could hope to meet. The site is user friendly and easy to use
User friendly, instinctive to use, and doesn't tolerate bigots and white supremacy - what's not to love?
If you love yarn, you will love Ravelry! Patterns, yarn database, forums and lots of information for beginners to advanced skill levels.
Exclusive policies not inclusive. They should not be allowed to control which crafts I get to pick and which once I don't.
If you don't want offensive content on a search, go to the back page and search forward, as offensive content seems to be the preferred content now.
I don't know where I would be with out Ravelry. The best knitting resource out there. I love the inclusive community
Answer: Ravelry refuses to support bigotry in any form and states so in its TOS. It is a privately owned platform and they are well within their rights. They have absolutely not banned Christians or conservatives, only speech that supports bigots and bigotry.
Answer: Because they are creating a culture of ignorance and hate in the name of politics.
Answer: This has nothing to do with Ravelry. Sockmatician is receiving feedback on a post he wrote and then heavily edited.
Answer: In the notebook section, go to your library. Choose your pattern and there will be a download button. Alternatively, for free patterns, on the main pattern page there will be a link to click to download the pattern or, if it isn't hosted on Ravelry, a link to where you can find the pattern on another website.
Answer: Can you point to any reviews that are actually doing that?
Answer: By email / by downloading it - If you purchase a pattern on Ravelry, it is a digital download.
Answer: How interesting that I answered this question several hours ago, but now *POOF* my answer has magically disappeared. WHICH PROVES MY ASSERTION. This site is helping Ravelry suppress opposing points of view. What that means is, this site is not objective and cannot be trusted for accurate information concerning the businesses that are reviewed.
Answer: I would imagine that it has something to do with Ravelry insisting that their ignorant behavior be defended. Even if that means many will no longer take sitejabber reviews seriously. I mean, how could I? Sitejabber is now guilty of silencing dissenting opinions. Just like Ravelry.
Answer: Laura J., the negative reviews are also objective. They have been posted by real people such as me, reporting real experiences past and present. True assessment of a company needs both sides of the story. If the negative reviews disappear again, it would imply someone from Ravelry is exerting undue influence over SiteJabber. There was mention in an answer to a similar question about some people a "Boycott Ravelry" group using fake names and addresses to post fake reviews. I was not a member of that group, and know some of the people posting reviews since the initial ones were deleted. We are not fake. We speak the truth, whether you want to hear it or not.
Ravelry has a rating of 3.1 stars from 507 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally satisfied with their purchases. Reviewers satisfied with Ravelry most frequently mention fiber arts, white supremacy and social media. Ravelry ranks 1st among Yarns sites.
