Just a note from one of your friendly mods... :)

Hi everyone!

Some of you already have been here for a bit and posting, but I thought that now with Open Beta, we probably would start seeing a greater influx of members. (Knitters are going to eventually take over the world, after all, y/y?) Anyway, that being said...if you're new here, welcome! :) And if you've been here all along, thanks for sticking around :) I think everyone is slowly getting their bearings around the awesomeness that is DW.

So, just a few things...

1. First and foremost, be kind to each other. I'll be honest and say that I've written this mostly as a formality and am not really worried about there being any issues. I do have this preconceived notion of knitters being awesome people and all... (However, damned_colonial  and I will play the big bad mods if we have to. We just don't want to. Please don't make us.)
2. Photos are welcome -- and encouraged! To be considerate of everyone's reading pages though, please put them under a cut.
3. Please use tags! I think the best way of doing this is by project type...so if you're posting about your socks currently on the needles, use "socks". Pretty self-explanatory. Then, if later on down the road, someone else wants to knit up a pair of fabulous socks...or mittens...or a sweater, they can easily find them all as they decide on what pattern they might want to knit up :)

I think that about does it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or by private message :)

Again, welcome, and HAPPY KNITTING!! :)

Could the cut/tagging rules be put on the community info page? I'm very much an 'out of sight, out of mind' type and will most likely forget to do it otherwise.

This is the first community I looked for when I got my invite code. Us knitters need our yarn pr0n, after all. :p

Definitely. It was on my agenda to get the info page all updated too :)

Isn't that the freaking truth. Yarn = <3
