Looking for GREAT Crochet sites..can you help?
 

I have a good friend who needs some new & fun Crochet patterns. I told her how GREAT this board is & was hoping someone out there would know of sites just as great to help my friend. ThAnKs!!

I use www.lionbrand.com .

Craftsy has some cute ones and I like www.crochetcentral.com

I agree to the above. you can also find out what she crocets? Hats? Blankets?Google those and find sites

There are a lot of sites out there. Earlier today I typed in free crochet hat patterns and got a lot. Got more than I needed from the first tow sites I visited. I've learned if you're looking for free patterns that has to be the first search word.

Isn't there a crochet board.com? There is a knitting one. They are run just like this quilting board. Maybe by the same people?

In addition to the ones above I really like http://ravelry.com You have to join, but it's free and has some great patterns, both free and paid.

Hooked on crochet from all free crochet and FavQuilts has a link for crochet

All the sites listed are great ones for patterns but I have not found a site like this one related to crocheting or knitting were members share information the way we do on this board.

Knitters paradise is a good knitting/ crochet board, abc123 ( I think is the name of it .. ), ravelry and quite a few blogs that are strictly crochet are all good.

I go to Pinterest. There are a lot of good patterns there.

I googled Hairpin Lace and got directions for it. I am on my 5th afghan and love it. Can do this while riding in a car or on a bus trip. I am also going to try doing huck towelnig again. I did this in the early 1960's, when I mentioned it at my quilt club no one had even heard of it. I called JoAnn fabrics and they do have the toweling and they sell it by the yard. I will see if I can perhaps do a demo and furnish enough material so they can make something.

I like The Crochet Crowd, there are a lot of good instructional videos.

Go to www.knittingparadise.com Great information and hints along with free pattern sites.

I haven't been to this site and there may be some broken links.....but give it a try.

I knOWWWW & that is what I was looking for! or at least a site that friends here on this site actually use & enjoy.

Knitting Paradise is a great knitting/crochet forum like this one. Very helpful hints. As for patterns - your friend should google whatever it is she's interested in making. Some favorites are Ravelry, Lion Brand, RedHeart, Bernat, Bev's Country Cottage..........there's dozens and dozens.
