    Could you add warnings for links to ravelry and post the non ravelry related links? Seeing how ravelry's new design has caused harm to many individuals and they are not fixing the problems. Thanks.

      Thanks for your comment! We just updated this post to indicate Ravelry links. As you'll see in our most recent blog post (found here: http://knitterspride.blogspot.com/2020/07/your-guide-to-yarn-fiber-swaps.html) we will indicate Ravelry links if used in blog posts from July 2020 onwards until they fix the accessibility issues you note here. Additionally, we plan to minimize the amount of pattern links to Ravelry going forward until those changes have been made and the site can be used by everyone safely. Please feel free to email us at helloknitterspride [at] gmail [dot] com if you have any other questions or concerns, we'd love to hear from you!
