Hi everyone! Iām Summer and I run a crochet blog!
I was browsing through the community forum, and I had an idea. I was wondering if anyone would like to help me out, contribute, or tell me if its a silly idea lol.
I noticed some other fiber artists mentioning other sites and blogs that have great tools and resources for crochet. I was wondering if some of you would like to mention what website you use as a resource/tool and why?
Iād like to compile a list on my blog for us to use in the future, as well as post a condensed version here on Ribblr! The list would have the link to the websites with a description about them, the Ribblr member that contributed with a link to their shop/profile, as well as why you love using it to help you with your crochet projects!
For example, I noticed @stitchedwithstardust mention Yarnsub to assist you in finding a comparable yarn to use if your yarn is discontinued. This is especially helpful if a pattern youāre following uses Lion Brand Yarn, considering they discontinue their yarn so quickly.
What do you think? Let me know!

I think itās a great idea! Myself, i am just starting toys/ami so Iām still figuring out who/ what but sharing what has worked for me.
I noticed that under the Amigurumi topic I had going where I was adding stuff, it got to the point it wouldnāt let me add anymore saying I reached 3 replies- whatever that means.

I think thatās a phenomenal idea. Resource lists are always so appreciated and helpful! I think @anoswaldoddity also mentioned that yarnsub has a cataloge type database you can search, as well as a newsletter you can sub to that specifically highlights new and discontinued yarns!

Thank you! Resource lists were the best thing for me when I was learning. Heck, they still help! Iāll do some more research into Yarnsub and add it to this list with its features for sure!

Thereās a website someone told me about once with ācolor scheme ideasāā¦Iāll see if I can find it again.
I have a master list of Crochet Groups on FB youāre welcome to,
and anything else I may have.
Check out my site, as I have an entire section of crochet humor memes, and a few other things.
Help yourself.

Noā¦but this is COOL!!!
Thanks,
It was some sort of personal business crochet related, and she put together 100ās of colors with images that āinspiredā.
Poppy or Pippy or Pipsqueaky or something like that.
Iāll dig thru my favorites and see where itās buried.

Oooh that is so neat! That would be awesome! It reminds me of people who dye yarn inspired by images and the colorways always look amazing!

I found the name of them: color boards
This is one,
but there are several.
The one with the funny name had HUNDREDS.

Can you do anything in that app without having to buy it? Is the free one pretty limited?

Ooh I didnāt even know it had an app. I only ever used the desktop version (back when I made gifs and stuff), but I think the desktop version is less limited. Not totally sure though. However there are also these sites if ever youāre looking for color palette inspo:
Color Hex
Color Space
Color Hunt
Color Palettes
They all offer varying levels of customization/creating your own, but tons of gorgeous to be found palettes there!
