RavelryReviews of ravelry.com

This site hates its users. They have a history of bigotry, racism, and now they have a site that is injuring people with medical problems. AVOID!!

Ravelry is amazing. I have found so many patterns, gotten ideas, and learned from their articles. I keep an my patterns that I get from my subscription to interweave organized there and live the search function.

Used to be a very good site, no longer, imported all my patterns across to lovecrafts , cannot stand the new ravelry, and there are now some very nasty individuals on there, which is a shame . When did knitting become political ? I made an innocent comment on a forum, and had people back me up, message me to say how wrong it all was, apparently I was a white racist, tone policing individual. Not quite sure why they thought I was white, but hey ho ! I also got a headache within minutes of accessing site to remove patterns, like many others I pretty please asked them to not remove the classic rav. They don’t care, they deserve to collapse as a company

Too bad! Useless site... Don't go inside, wasting time.

Being new to the site I excitedly asked a member if she would share a pattern I liked. I then received a scathing reprimand from an Administrator on how selfish I was for trying to steal a pattern which someone wrote and has to be paid for etc. she then blocked me from dec to Jan. I looked the admin up and she was quite old and her face was as dour as her entry to me I won’t use Raverly again and will put off anyone that asks me about it!

Great free database of knitting and crochet patterns!

This once was a fun website for knitters to share patterns, ideas, and etc. Then the owners decided to let their political leanings take over and turned on anyone who disagreed with them. After losing a bunch of users due to that, they then reformatted their site which made it inaccessible to people with vision issues, epilepsy, migraines, etc, and were rude to anyone who complained. It is truly a non-customer friendly site with a toxic undertone.

Website overhaul, no longer accessible, caused medical harm in the form of eye strain, headaches, nausea, migraines, and seizures to numerous users. Owners ignore their client base, will not fix the issues, instead they are discontinuing use of the original underlying foundation which allowed users to continue using the site, in favor of the updated twee tween confetti rainbow upgrade.
