I am definitely getting addicted

[moongazeruk]

No, I am getting addicted to crochet.  Hang on, rewind, lets rephrase that - I am getting addicted to crochet websites and patterns. Locating them, oohing over them,  artistically imagining myself making them, then saving them to my pc in a special little folder created specially. PMSL  And I plan to catalogue them into sub folders of skill

It sounds like me with my knitting.

Careful you dont get obsessed there you might turn into me, heaven forbid LOL

oh and PS, how do you find the forums?

I'm a member of a huuuuge one known as Ravelry which is also for crotcheters (is there such a word)and it has a waiting list, but I think its worth it.

It has loads of groups even a Brit witch one amongst other things.

I havent joined any of the pagan craft groups within Ravelry because I've had my fill of pagan type forums, but theyre there if you want them.

I'm also a member of a small british knitting forum which I love and I've just joined another one but I doubt I'll do any posting.

I find the small one is devoid of the ego you get in all forums("my knittings better than your knitting" and "Oh you dont use THOSE needles do you") and I stick with that one pretty much and its also light relief when you've had enough of people online in general :D

To be honest, I'm not sure. One I came across during a search for plus size patterns, and its a yahoo group especially for plus sized crochet patterns. They are a lovely group of people, and I havent seen a single act of sniping. You have to be approved before membership and fill in a little questionnaire, but then they formally introduce you to the group via the info you give. And the owners do a great job, they are currently running a competition to seek out new patterns

ohhhhh lovey can you send me a link to those patterns please? I used to be able to crochet quite well and hope to take it up again soon.

If you start knitting I have some pretty fantastic free pattern sites as well :)
