The maker
Hi, I'm Dana - a knitter in the Bay Area.
I built these tools to see what the community loves, plan projects by season, and finally use the yarn I bought before I had a pattern. The photo search runs on a model I trained myself.
What will you knit next?

Hi, I'm Dana.
Hi there! My name is Dana, and I am a crafter based in the Bay Area, just outside of San Francisco. Ever since I rediscovered my love for knitting and (sometimes) crocheting in the midst of the pandemic, I found myself very deeply immersed in the community.
Recently I realized I am fascinated by knitting and crocheting trends, and was wondering what was popular at the moment, as well as what the community's preferences were in the past. I created a couple of widgets to help me with the lookup - and found a bunch of cool and even free patterns that I can add to my library.
The lookup is organized by seasons for now because that's how I like to plan my projects. I also included the pattern finder based on gauge - I notice that I always buy yarn before I have a project planned (which is a horrible habit that I need to get rid of), so looking for a pattern based off of my gauge is very helpful.
Enjoy the results - they are just for fun. I will be happy if it helps you find your next cast on.
How the tools work
Everything is built on Ravelry's pattern library. The results are just for fun - a starting point for your next project.
