Pininterest.com? Fasinating! Try it... Ah go on, go on, go on!

My daughter has recently got involved in card-making and we were told about pinterest not so long ago. There is so much talent out there! She found so many useful tips, and step-by-step guides and it changes every day too! We're never lost for ideas...

I love pinterest my kids Do'nt seem to get it , then i'm a list person

JudyAdamson Looked again and understand the point you are making about people following you and your interests in fabric, furniture, etc. But still don't see the point in it! Why would I be interested in strangers' boards?

Ariadne - it's only like other social networks, all about sharing.

For instance, when you're online, you come across a fabric or piece of upcycled furniture you love, or a quote that seems to mean a lot, or even a joke that made you laugh - and you feel you'd like to share it, in case it would also appeal to others.

So you just 'pin' it - and then you notice that others are 'following' you - so you take a look at their boards to see if you want to follow them - and discover more fabrics, furniture, wise words and funnies etc . . .

I don't think I "get" it at all. My hours fly by anyway!

Hi -

I agree that Pinterest can be totally addictive! Especially if, like me, you can call it 'work' so don't feel at all guilty about 'wasting time' on there!

I've just completed an online Surface Pattern Design course and collecting patterns, colours and so on that we like on Pinterest was one of the way suggested for identifying our 'signature style'! The hours can just fly away . . .

Here's me: pinterest.com/judyadamson/

I have an account there as well, in fact it is a picture website which is total different from our GN, so much fun would be found there, guess we can have a try there to widen our perception to the outside in fact.

I've joined but I can't see how it works
I'm obviously thick!

Well, that makes two of us, kitty

I'm with you soop

I'm already seriously addicted to GN. Haven't time to do much else!

It is great once you get the hang of it , it takes you on journeys via others with similar interests .It is inspiring.

Why is your nose getting longer? Because Cari didn't join Pinterest ? Baffled

I'm on Pinterest, but haven't found it madly exciting. Don't see the point of it.

My name is Ginny and I'm a 'pinaholic'. This site should come with a warning. I love crafting and have used many of the brilliant ideas.

Why wot?

JO7 why?

Cari joined that a few days back.

Thankyou will have a look.

So glad we are back in my time zone, for a horrible few seconds I thought I'd blacked out & lost a day or two! Phew!

Hello Newlife101 and also jennycockerspaniel (I've got one of those )

I've vaguely heard of Pinterest but never looked, I'll do so soon.

Try coats website. I've made quilted pixie boots from their sewing patterns. I'm sure they have knitted slippers or maybe crochet just google.

I love looking at other peoples boards but I must admit I don't have very much on mine. jenny all the best threads wander

I have looked on there I am looking for a pair of girls knitted slippers age 6 sorry if Ive gone off post

A year later and I've joined Pinterest . I love the creativity and it gives me so many ideas. I'm making GD a bag out of the top part of some jeans which she grew out of before she had any wear out of. There is a demo on you tube in Spanish . Has anyone else done this? I don't know if she will use it

Thanks Newlife, had a quick look and it seems so interesting I'll go back later when I have time for a good long time to browse. Glad you told us about it!
