How to Add Projects to Ravelry

Part of the fun of Ravelry, besides adding new knitting and crochet friends, is posting up your own projects for everyone to see. With Ravelry you add projects and list the yarn you used, how much of it, add notes, pictures and even blog entries you made about the project. These projects will be seen by all the people on Ravelry who take a look at and admire when looking at a particular pattern or yarn.
