Introducing a new feature on The Purl Bee: Photo Galleries

We are excited to announce that we have added photo galleries to The Purl Bee. Now you can browse all of our projects visually. To find the galleries, look for "Photo Galleries" on the navigation column on the right hand side of any page.  Click on crochet, knitting or sewing to see a list of different galleries within each category. You can also find a complete list of links to all of our galleries here. Once you're in a gallery you will see small pictures of all the past projects in that category, click on a picture and you'll be taken directly to that project. We'll be updating our galleries with new projects as they are published.Figuring out how to configure these galleries was a bit of a technical challenge for us and one we could not have gotten past without the help of everyone at Squarespace. Squarespace is the web publishing platform that hosts The Purl Bee, but it is also a group of real and very helpful people who never laugh at our not-so-tech-savvy questions.  If you're thinking of starting a blog, or want to switch your current blog over, we can't recommend them enough! You can even join Squarespace via The Purl Beehive which is a community of cute interconnected craft journals that we have partnered on with Squarespace.

Compiling these galleries was really fun. We enjoyed looking back on all of the past projects and were reminded of many things we wanted to make, like Whitney's totally cute Rochefort Chapeau, and Page's adorable Cozy Quick Blankie.

This has got to be my favorite post so far. I have only worked on hand piecing and quilting so far but this posting is so inspiring I am now going to try my hand at dolls. Mimi's blog is also great! Thanks for inspiring my once again Purl Bee!!!
