This document provides an introduction and overview of the features of Ravelry, an online community for knitters and crocheters. It describes what Ravelry is, how to set up an account, how to use features like organizing projects, adding patterns, interacting with other users through forums and groups, and finding patterns and yarn. It includes tutorials on how to upload photos, use the library, start forum topics, and get involved with specific Ravelry groups like the Knitters Guild NSW. The goal is to help new users understand and make the most of all Ravelry has to offer.
