We love Pinterest! Countless photos are shared on this social media platform, including some of the most beautiful knitting and crochet projects. There are also plenty of helpful photo tutorials. Not on Pinterest yet? Then read on to find out how it works and who our five favorite pinners are!
So how does it actually work? Create an account. In your account, you can create boards, and you can post photos to these boards. That way, you can always save everything. If you want to save a photo to your board, click the Red “PIN IT” button, and then you can choose which board you want to add the photo to. It’s fun to follow people who share your interests. For us, of course, that means creative people who love to crochet or knit. Click the “FOLLOW” button, and all the pins that person posts will appear on your home page. Get started, and you’ll be brimming with Inspiration again!
Of course, we have our own Pinterest account, but there are plenty of other great "pinners" to follow. Here are our five favorites:
