Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

Ravelry feels like a lot to me, too. Sometimes that's helpful in sinking a bit of time into browsing other people's pretty things, but finding suitable patterns is often a slog. Partly it's inconsistent metadata--there are closed-list tags that designers can use, but some don't, despite releasing well edited patterns. I usually end up looking with my preferred filter constraints, then again more broadly without them.
