Anyone who has experience with entering patterns in Ribblr from UK want to volunteer to help a recruit?
I’ve introduced a wonderful person from UK who crochets one of the most unique patterns I’ve seen in awhile.
So, she’s interested but feeling maybe a bit overwhelmed regarding the pattern entry of which I have ZERO experience.

What help is needed? They can introduce themselves here and ask questions! The more people seeing this the more help they’ll get

Well, they have a lot of questions about Ribbld of which I have no experience.
I’m just trying to connect them to Ribblr in a personal manner that’s helpful and inviting.

Rebuild gives you a step by step tour when you start. It shows you how to do everything I know.
Also you can copy and paste you patterns directly here. Like copy the whole pattern and paste in the first box and rebuild formats things. It might be easier if she has patterns written to do this and tweak things.
I am a uk ribblr pattern writer but I don’t know I can help with anything not in the tour. Happy to try help with any quetions, if i can though

Every pattern I have ever tried to copy paste into the builder was chewed up to the point it was easier to just type it in manually

Oh wow, I’ve copied about 8 in and its only needed minor tweaks.
Thats so unfortunate, I wonder what the problem is?

Crochet and knitting patterns are structured differently, that’s the only thing I can think of.
You have all the special stitches and special instructions and things that have to all be done at the same time and the program does not recognize all of that
I have also tested a several knitting patterns that were copy pasted, and they were an absolute mess that couldn’t be followed

When I did research to see if I wanted to join or not I came across the same complaint repeatedly
Entering knitting patterns is an absolute pain in the rear, but the ones that stayed said that they actually liked that because it helps spot copies. You can’t just paste it in, you have to actually work for it so it’s probably yours and not another copy paste thief like other sites

Oh, yeah, I only do crochet so its only crochet patterns I’ve tried. That’s a shame but I understand why computers could struggle

Thanks everyone who volunteered, the designer elected to try it herself.
The video appeared to be helpful!
