Searching for Knitting and Crochet Patterns Online

If you are one of the people who can no longer use Ravelry to search for knitting patterns, you can search on any major search engine and remove the results for Ravelry.

On Google, type in your search and add “-ravelry” and “-pinterest” (without the quotation marks). If you don’t mind going through pins you can leave that off.

On most other major search engines just add “-ravelry” at the end.

I will be adding two more planned articles, (one article and one tutorial), on website accessibility in the near future and will then get back to adding new freebies and sharing some fun projects and tutorials from crafts people I admire.

A Public Statement on Ravelry

Cassidy Forbes from Ravelry is now sending out emails to people saying there is no problem with the new ravelry design, that it does not cause migraines and seizures and that people should “consider the sources” of such information. So far three people have come forward saying they recieved this email, or one like it that stated the same things.

For the record, I am one of the people for whom Ravelry caused a seizure in the new design, and migraines a couple of days after switching to Classic mode when they started changing fonts.

  • I am not a liar.
  • I am not having a “hysterical response”.
  • I have never had this extreme or as fast a response from any other website.
  • I am not spreading lies.
  • Ravelry are not inclusive.
