I finished this up a few weeks ago & forgot to post.I went further than intended & did a full inventory of all spinning/weaving/knitting equip, books, videos, fibre, yarn (commercial & handspun) into Airtable. Absolutely love it! #RavelryAccessibility #OffRav /1

I'm enjoying this way more than my original Ravelry data - I can customize it to emphasize what's important to me. Oh yeah, & no migraines. Just patterns left to do now. Those will take some time though but at least no more photos to take.😎 #RavelryAccessibility #OffRav /2

Here's what grid (database) view looks like. You can do formulas & lookups from other tables, etc. It's more powerful than what the data looked like in raw form. I won't lie-it was lots of hours to get to this point but #RavelryAccessibility #OffRav /3

I did more than planned & I think it was worth it because I use it more than I ever thought I would. For this I.T. person, it was a small learning curve. I do believe that Airtable is easy enough for people without IT background to learn too. #RavelryAccessibility #OffRav /4

In the end, the only thing I lost was favorites because of how the data was saved in the DB dumps we were provided from Rav (as below). I'm choosing to see it as a forced fresh start. #RavelryAccessibility #OffRav /5
