You do not need to be an expert. Beginners are welcome.

1. Ask a question

Choose Ask for Help. Give your question a clear title, tell us what you are making, and explain where you got stuck. Include the pattern name and yarn if you know them.

2. Show your project

Choose Show Your Work for finished projects, or Projects in Progress for something you are still making. Select Knitting or Crochet so other makers can find it.

3. Add a photo where you want it

Click in your message where the photo should appear, then choose Add photo. You can also paste or drop a photo into the editor. Use JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB.

4. Reply to another maker

Open a discussion and choose Reply beneath a message. The reply box shows who you are answering. Use “Reply to discussion instead” to write a general reply.

5. Get notified about replies

In your profile, open Notification settings. For “Forum: new replies to my discussions” and “Forum: replies to my messages”, choose website notifications, email, both, or neither. You can change this anytime.
