There will be forums but they are awhile off yet. We are partnering with someone from LSG to build a journal/database platform with lots of privacy controls that will be CRAFT AGNOSTIC. After making an offer to buy Ravelry and ended up ignored we are taking the money and building a replacement.

Ravelry user ikkleknitter announced the following in the 'lazy, stupid, and godless' board on Ravelry (post #8563 in the 'Do we have a Plan B?' thread) on March 23: "Given that all this s**t is starting to escalate and plans aren’t happening the way I hoped I have a big announcement.Yarn Database has searches for designers, yarn, and fibre, and the ability to save favourites, with no surprise Ravelry links.There's another new site in the works called ribblr: website | Instagram (contains more info).I'm not sure how knit/crochet-ish it is, but Textillia is "a community of sewists, quilters, and textile artists".( Note: I have absolutely zero idea how much skill or ability she and her husband have to put something this together, I am only providing the link here for the purposes of awareness.) You can check out updates and more resources via the welcome article which is on the Fiber.Club blog. Knitter Liza Rico wants to put together an alternative, accessible fibre platform called Fiber.Club, and has a GoFundMe for it.LoveCrafts has quite a bit of the functionality of Ravelry, since they have database connectivity among designers, patterns, yarns, and projects.
