Ravelry Member Drive

So how many of you know that we have a Ravelry group page? For that matter how many of you know Ravelry exist?

For you that don't know what Ravelry is, it is a online community. It can be a organizational tool, a great source for patterns, and a place to share your projects with others like yourself.  It's not just for knitters and crocheters, either. Handspinners can display their yarn and if you dye yarn, you can display yours too. Those of you who design patterns will love it also! You  can  even find fiber events, such as classes or even fiber festivals.

I love going on to Ravelry to look for patterns. It's really fun to find a pattern and see how other people have changed it to make it their own. You can often get help, or finds tips about a pattern from other people who have also done the pattern.

So I have done a little advertising for the site, now I'll talk a little about our group.

For those of you who are already members, you will know I do a horrible job keeping up on posting. I also lack in posting projects, though I get around to that more often. Becoming a member of our group you can encourage me to post more often. I'm kidding, though having more members will encourage me to post things more often! It's a great place to share projects that you have made from our fiber, but honestly, you could share projects you make in general just to show everyone what wonderful projects your making. I try to look at other farm groups to see what they post, so I'll try to post when we have new products plus try to get group discussions going. I also have just gotten our yarn on the Ravelry database. You can now search Covered Bridge Farm in the yarn search box and find our yarn, HOW COOL IS THAT!!! I'll also try to do what I'm doing right now, create something fun with a little prize to go along with it.

OK, so lets to get to this fun prize deal I just mentioned. I'm doing a member drive. I want at least ten new member to join our group, but if we get ten I don't want to stop there. For the whole month of August I want you to join our group and invite people once you join. When you join post on the thread named member drive who recommended that you join. For instance if you heard from this blog you would post something like "Hi my name is Nicole and I heard about your group from your blog".
At the end of August two things can happen. If we didn't get ten people we will keep going through September, but if we do get ten or more new people I will go through the thread and count up how many people were directed by each person. The person who got the most people to join our group will receive a coupon code for 15% off a purchase in our etsy store.

Are you ready? Get set. GO!!!
