Crochetville—A Must See Website for Beginning Crocheters
Many of you reading this post may already know about Crochetville, but if you haven’t been there, you really must check it out.
In a nutshell, Crochetville is a community of crocheters. There are probably two dozen different bulletin boards covering everything from various forms of crochet help, which for a beginner is like gold, free patterns, boards for people to show off their completed projects, and what I really think shows the sense of community, a bulletin board for Random Acts of Kindness (RAOK). On this board there are lists where you can post 10 things you’d really like. Mostly these are crochet related, such as yarn and hooks, but they can be flavored teas, postcards, candy and chocolates (most requested from folks overseas), something for their children, etc. There are many other boards I haven’t mentioned here. You’ll see when you go.
What is really awesome about the help boards is that someone will almost always answer your call for help very quickly, which is nice when you are in the middle of a project and get stuck. There are a lot of crocheters with years and years of experience who kindly share their experience with us rookies.
It is also nice to hook up with (pardon the pun!) other beginners and just other crocheters in general. A woman I met recently has been crocheting with thread for many years… ooohhh, I so want to be able to do that, if I could just figure out how to keep the tension in the thread. But more importantly than the crocheting help, is that I’ve met a new mentor and friend.
Happy Hooking,
